Best old school film and days, thanks 👍 from England

[@michaelgallegos5752]

Thank you for posting this gem! The 70s were great when it came to this kind of television. No excessive violence or sex to get in the way of the story itself. We only had 3 channels then but far superior quality than the 300 odd channels filled with junk and trash today. Keep your fascination with "reality " tv and reboots and endless sequels.Don't even own a tv and I'm happy!

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

Yes I couldn't agree more, it was the same in the UK. Today nothing makes me belly laugh like it did then and these thrillers are far better than what's on now. I too dont watch TV, nor do i read the newspapers....

[@smittyk7810]

Yeah I Only watch youtube and Netflix. TV is crap today and the news is depressing. I find people are better in real life than the way the TV media depict them. Im happier without TV as well.

[@alanlinnell6817]

Yeah, I remember the tv shows and tv movies were far more interesting than the cookie cutter junk today. Have you noticed how many shows today have people holding handguns at the ready position as they kick down 1000 doors. The shows today also feature vanilla twenty-something characters who mostly look alike, sporting the same hairstyle even, characters like Cannon and Kojak wouldn't get past today's casting committees The story was important back during the better programming days of the 70s and 80s and most of all, modern "agendas" weren't being pushed on the viewers constantly.I'm sorry I just don't like tv shows nowadays-sequels, super heroes galore and junk.

I love these 70s shows, they had a definite style

[@paulchristman2456]

This is my favorite episode of the series. It's creepy and chilling with absolutely no gore, death, or injury. Violence is also kept to a minimum and involves only destruction of property but no bodily harm to people or animals. It also stars charming Kim Darby who had a notable career portraying young women caught up in extraordinary and often bizarre circumstances. Thanks for posting !

[@kidmack3556]

This is one of my favorites, the only reason it isn't my favorite too, is because it doesn't have the Sebastián "Winston Essex" Cabot prologue and epilogue. I can't remember why I only saw the one with David Birney and Barbara Parkins, which is the one that one scared me thoroughly! This series must've come on after my bedtime on Sunday. Like many kids back then, my bedtime was right after the two hour NBC 7pm-9pm Sunday night power block of Mutual Of Omaha's Wild Kingdom followed by Walt Disney's Wonderful World Of Color/Disney.

I had nightmares of my own after seeing it, and what I saw was only the last 10 minutes. To see it now in its original context is beyond mind-blowing.

There was an old black and white movie with a hobby horse, the kind with springs, set up for english style riding.

Big true

[@humbertojimmy]

Well, to be fair, movies are supposed to mirror reality, and in the real world people *do* swear. We could tell that these clean scripts of the 70's were just for show. But i agree that a lot of the vulgarity in today's shows is exagerated.

[@humbertojimmy]

@@dfunckt I would think people always used curse language, more or less, no matter the decade, but i will not make a claim out of it because i didn't get to see much of the 70's (i was too young). Now, as for *who* swears on screen, i think it's irrelevant. Be it gay or hetero, language is spoken by *people* just the same.

[@humbertojimmy]

@@dfunckt Personally, i think there should be markets for all tastes and walks of life, from family entertainment to mature content. The broader the choice, the more complete it gets. I don't find vulgar language appealing myself, but i understand that my tastes don't have to be superior to anyone else's (they are just different). And then there are moods, we not always seek the same. Sometimes i might want to see a more "crude" TV show or movie as well, depends on the moment.

[@vickyhockett8941]

I was about 11 years old when this aired and it scared the bejeebies (sp?) out of me! We were having a sleep over at a friends and they happened to have a ride on horse that looked just like it with wheels, not springs like most of them had in those days. I don't think I slept at all that night!

I remember seeing these on TV all the way back when I was 9 back in 1973. 3 of my fave episodes...the one with the glass jars, the one with John Astin as a former horror movie star turned security guard in an old film lot, and one where a dead man comes back for revenge. Not only that, but it was a great memory of a great time in my life. A time that, sadly, would be taken from me shortly after due to family issues and the desertion of my father, but one that was great while it lasted. Playing with friends, sleepovers, and Friday and Saturday night horror and sci-fi courtesy of pre-cable TV!

[@kainnosgoth7336]

***** Oh cool! Someone else who remembers that one! I used to be allowed to stay up on Friday or Saturday nights around 73' and 74' and Circle Of Fear was part of the viewing fun! Another great episode? The one I mentioned in my flagship reply, "Graveyard Shift", where John Astin was a security guard on the lot where he was once a major horror movie star. That episode actually had William Castle in a small cameo as Astin's former director. Good episode if you get a chance to see it!

My mother used to tell me how scared she was of horses, because when she was little she saw a scary movie about a haunted rocking horse. Now that I'm nearly 30 years old, I decided to try to hunt it down. Glad I could find it here (even if it was TV show and not a movie). I have to say, it was a pretty interesting watch. The 70's were a strange time, but this had a great horror element to it without the need for the gore or special effects of today.

[@Supreme2u]

I was 8 years old when I saw this back home in Brooklyn and it scared the do-do out of me. I asked my sister who is 5 years older than me what was the name of the movie but she could not remember it at all (even though she watched it with me and SHE was the one who use to like to look at scary movies and she still does). I just gave up in finding the movie and actually thought I made it up since nobody I talked to could remember it but I know I didn't make it up and could remember it to this day. I did NOT know it was a vignette from a series but I do remember we use to watch "Chiller Thriller" on channel 11 (WPIX) and that was so good.

I don’t know how I’ve gone my whole life and don’t recall ever seeing this episode or the series. I can see how this one must’ve been pretty terrifying for any child who saw this back in those days. It kind of reminds me a bit of some scenes in ‘Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II’ from 1987. As a character becomes possessed with the spirit of “Mary Lou,” her rocking horse starts doing some bizarre things. I recall its eyes turning red and it stuck its tongue out. Those scenes haunted me for years! I was born in 1979, so I was really way too young to see that movie when I did. I had a vintage bouncy, spring-rider rocking horse in my room. For a long time, I covered it with a blanket at night because I feared it would come alive and I’d awake to it staring at me with scary red eyes. Lol Ah memories… My father knew Martin Sheen. Ironically, they met at the Kentucky Derby horse races back in the mid-late 1980’s. My father passed away in 2008, but I remember him speaking of how down-to-earth Martin Sheen was. They even spoke about me, but I’ve yet to meet him. This episode is most definitely one of those forgotten gems of cinema’s past. Thank you for sharing it! 🎠📺🎠

Thank you for the fun movie. That sure was some persistent horse! Poor thing. He was just lonely. Every creature should have a mate!

Kim Darby's guest appearance on NBC's "CIRCLE OF FEAR" in 1973 was the same year when she also costarred in The ABC Movie Of The Week TV Movie, "DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK", which aired on October 11, 1973, and directed by former "ONE STEP BEYOND" host, John Newland. The TV movie was produced by the now defunct Lorimar Productions, known for "THE WALTONS" and "DALLAS", which was later acquired by Warner Communications in 1989, which phased out Lorimar by 1993.

Awsome episode. Love this show. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tracymmo]

Martin Sheen is still very attractive, but holy moly he was smokin' at this age! And that super sexy voice too

[@derekseven1647]

He sounds just like Charlie Sheen his son.

[@yodalayheehoo5447]

Tracymmo Yowsa!

[@E-Kat]

But I still haven't seen him smoking. Maybe because I'm doing other things whilst watching this! 😊

[@mamadoom9724]

Is he the main guy in the show? The husband?

[@E-Kat]

@@mamadoom9724 yes, that's him. 🙂

[@blueskies3658]

I lived through the 70's but I don't remember these. Night Gallery was one I watched.

[@cynthiasnowden600]

Made me cry

[@nicholassassatelli1359]

I met Martin Sheen in 1980, very short man about 5'2.

[@ashleynunez8095]

When the horse started moving it gave me goosebumps

[@jlkitz1775]

"This wooden horse is giving me nightmares, there's something evil about it." OK honey, we'll put it in the bedroom, LOL 😆

[@selmateacher7]

wow. That was a good episode.

[@lvfreeman6126]

I remembered a few scenes from childhood & believed all these years it was a Night Gallery episode. Other than those scenes & Martin Sheen, all I really remembered about Circle of Fear is the theme song! 😅 Glad these are available here, for now.

[@KSBC6499]

I first saw this when I was around 6 yrs old, scared the holy hell out of me...It's been in my memory ever since. I can't believe I finally found it.Not as scary this time around tho. Thanks for the memories.

[@chipthebluewolf5927]

I think it's amazing that they managed to make a toy horse scary.

[@lindabrown7374]

This is a really good episode. It seems vaguely familiar, so I might have seen it before. I know what I'll be dreaming about to- night.

[@johnkean6852]

This is an example where a silly story is brought to life by good acting talent. I would have given up well before the end were it not for the star players.

[@brooklyngal6334]

Martin Sheen was so gorgeous. He saved this episode for me. It didn't pick up until the end when the horse is moseying around for revenge. It's nice to see Kim Darby as something other than the mousy mom from "Better Off Dead" lol. Such a funny movie.

[@wrallpaul66]

Did you ever see "Don't be afraid of the dark" starring Miss Darby? Scared the living ish out of me when I was a kid.

[@brooklyngal6334]

@@wrallpaul66 oh yea!! I need to rewatch that one. It was terrifying! Forgot that was her too.

[@franklinmorgan250]

Yes. That's scared the crap out of me

[@franklinmorgan250]

Yes Martin sheen is really nice looking.He looks just like Emilio estevez.

[@turquoisewitch.wild-owl]

This scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!

[@brendahurst5658]

I love the episodes of circle of fear wish i could buy them.

[@michelestinnett2708]

COOL! Kim Darby did a super job in Rich Man, Poor Man - I wish somebody would upload that series!

[@Thomas-rw9nt]

Very cool. I remember this show from when I was a kid. Love Kim Darby and Martin Sheen. Sheen is very handsome.

[@paullangton-rogers2390]

This is one of the best stories of this series I think, full of mystery and intrigue!
