I was 13 the first time I saw this film. Thanks for the re-visit and the excellent copy. On a cold, lost, night in a small town in Oregon, this movie was frightening. Believe it or not.

[@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT]

oh i believe you - nearly fifty years later and i'm still having nightmares.

[@lisaellis2593]

Same!

[@nunyabeeswax3112]

I've always liked this movie and seen it quite a few times. I think it's a made for TV movie, but like it better than a lot of theatrical big budget movies. I think cute Tangella lost a little weight. Her impish antics on the show are always funny to watch. And of course Vincent's and Livingston's humor really adds to it as well. We're glad there is no bad profanity too which is an instant turn off, especially F-bombs. We watch every week.

[@DRAGONSLAYER1220]

In fact it was an ABC TV movie. I saw it when it was originally broadcast.

[@TheBadboybrian]

Totally agree the Makeup for the Main Gargoyle was Epic! And the actor who played the role has a history alone!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

@@DRAGONSLAYER1220 >>> I am not sure if I saw this when originally broadcast, but I first watched it on television MANY years ago.

[@patrickp3301]

I seen this when I was a kid on the same show creature feature the seventies I tried looking for it on video for years when they came out with VHS thank God for youtube

[@deadguy1040]

nice the 1972 movie can't wait

[@markthomas9769]

Used to have these made for TV flix every week. Many were better than theatrical releases. This was one of those better ones.

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

for those whom haven't seen this film yet, the voice of the chief Gargoyle is a real treat. 🎃

[@Smokr]

Sublimely chilling! And his acting was sweetly eerie. Great stuff. This was awesome. I've watched it live and twice again already.

[@hwd7]

I used to try and stay awake to watch this movie when it usually would come on TV after midnight, but I would always fall asleep. Finally I can watch it now in full for the first time.

Saturday is going to be a great night for spooky movies which, of course, includes Creature Features!

[@dockaos924]

Creature Features best show to watch ever even tho I've seen most of the movies they show 👍❤️

[@Smokr]

And it was a nice, clear, clean, saturated copy too! Great job! Here's to another five years! Just for a start!

[@stevee.asherhouseofasherpo8367]

Scared me terribly as a kid, love it now.

[@MrWaterbugdesign]

Maybe the best sci fi costumes to that time. I was in high school when this movie was on TV. Loved it.

[@thornmallow1]

I had absolutely no clue that Creature Feature actually existed, until seven months after the Grim Life Collective episode came out on KZbin. Since then I have been watching episode after episode to try and catch up on what I have missed. Thank you for broadcasting this to KZbin!

[@dockaos924]

Still enjoy this movie after seeing it a few times 👍😊💖

[@bobbiegizey4145]

I never realized Tangella was so painfully thin. Eat some fries you adorable creature!!

[@blueindigo1000]

She is very tiny. How tall is she?

. *omg ... cornel wilde stars in this film. it's gotta be great !!!* . . *even the Gargoyle gets listed in the credits. gotta love it !!!*

[@barbarawalsh4936]

I am old enough to have watched the "original" Creature Features. I love horror films, and have since kindergarten. By the time my children were old enough for horror movies, they had Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

[@gern7535]

This was a pretty decent movie. A young Scott Glenn before All The Right Stuff and Hunt for Red October. I was 12 when this came out and all I can say the girls in the 70s really knew how to dress and get your attention. I miss those years. We were almost out of Vietnam. I was still a few years from going into the army. This movie came out in the fall so we had yet to hear of Watergate. Disco had yet to blow up on our radio. But it was preferable to today.

[@michaelblalock3792]

Very enjoyable Gargoyle Movie, Much Thanks!!!

[@dameonjones3102]

This one was one of the best ever.

[@coldcountess]

The best Ray Harryhausen is "5 Million Miles to Earth" !!

[@HawaiiJetboat]

This was a TV movie and it gave me the shivers when I saw it at 10 years of age. Just creeped me out. Also noted that the daughter to Cornell Wilde is "Eunice Tate" from SOAP and the hoodlum on the motorcycle is a young Scott Glenn.

[@camcordernonsense5264]

you can almost make her dad into Chester Tate.

[@tsmith3286]

I saw this as a kid. It freaked me out. Lol. The gargoyles in slow mo with that music still gets me. 😳

[@ladycharsw]

I have seen this film every year for years. Thank you. The voice of the Gargoyle is good. Thanks for video.🙋 Charlotte in Oregon

[@reeritz1280]

One of my favorite vintage Sci-fi movies...definately the best Cornel Wilde films!

[@maggiesmith856]

You should see The Naked Prey some time.

[@coldcountess]

Hey Tangella, Gargoyles is an awesome movie !!

[@glenndorzok4931]

i'm sooo very glad I came across these films, love the genre, and LOVE you three hosts! PEACE GRD

[@kazilziya830]

I watched this movie when it first came out and am still impressed with the special effects and makeup for the time. Very good movie.

[@Zackasaurusify]

Oh, PLEASE tell me that it's THAT "GARGOYLES"... The early 70's made-for-TV one with Bernie Casey as the head Gargoyle and not some obscure piece of $&@% that I've never heard of before!!!

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

It has to be, because it's public domain now, all the horror hosts have shown it, 😂 🎃

[@JeffreyLong]

@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt Do you know of any more that have their shows on KZbin like Creature Features does?

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

@@JeffreyLong Sorry for the delay man, I was on the horn with my best pal and his lovely missus. Do you mean horror movie hosts, ir just channels that show a lot of classic stuff?

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

@@JeffreyLong KZbin is very careful about copyright, so it allows host-segments from Horror Hosts *if* the movies themselves are removed, and only the host segments are shown. So, for a host that does what Vince/Livingston/Tangella/Blue Painting Lady does from years ago, I suggest Morgus the Magnificent, who has a lot of segments on youtube. He's a classic and from New Orleans (good horror spooky cred there!). I'm sure that Janet Craft and Spooky Boo would love him as well. For Morgus "plus" the films he showed, you have to resort to the internet archive; there were at least 2 full episodes there, the last time I checked. Hope this helped! 😃

[@JeffreyLong]

@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt Excellent, thanks!

[@GG-PAT]

WHAT A GREAT MOVIE THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH🤗🤗🤗

[@richardbalogh6452]

One of the great movies from my childhood I used to fall asleep cuz it wouldn't come on till after midnight but I managed to finally watch the whole movie and definitely memories of my childhood although I do own a copy today.

[@SarahAParis]

I first saw "Gargoyles" when I was five..I liked it so much that my parents got it for me for my sixth birthday!😍

[@mouseinbootsadventures7516]

This is the first time I have ever seen this movie. I really enjoyed it. It was very entertaining. Thank you Creature Features for the movies 🍿.

[@paulayoung8645]

I think you all are great.Thank you for providing creepy movies.

[@d.e.christe2334]

That would be a body pillow case. Best trick or treat bag ever. Thank you, sweet Tangella, for your brilliant suggestion of this film. It's one of my all time favorite scary movies, too. I appreciate all you on Creature Feature. You keep the scary stories and the old films alive in our memories and hearts. ❤

[@federalcorvettelover3874]

You are Fantastic. Tangella, I ❤ You. I live in the UK & I have to be boring & set the clocks .. the film starting, bye, ❤ all 3 of you but can only marry Tangella. So, Tangella, I DO! I have never seen Gargoyles but it was made in my birth year. Mr Vincent, You are my First Creature Host & I Love these shows even though most movie offerings are rubbish but I watch every week because of the 3 of you & Mr Livingston is just Perfect. OK, back to Gargoyles & I am enjoying it so far. Nice one Tangella.

[@gregorybrown3665]

Gargoyles is da bomb.....

[@reesaserik3759]

The motel manager played by Grayson Hall. She was Dr. Julia on the TV Gothic soap, Dark Shadows. Ran from 1966 through 1971. She played a main character through the whole run of the show. This movie was made one year after Dark Shadows ended.

[@ladycharsw]

Us girls used to watch the Bananas Collins in Dark Shadows. I 1966 through 71. 🙋 Charlotte in Oregon

[@charliechurch5004]

Lol Dark shadows ❤️❤️❤️

The girl who plays Diana is Jennifer Salt who would go on to play Eunice in the TV show soap and who was now a producer and writer for American Horror Story

[@paulwettemann3001]

Looking forward to watching gargoyles

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

This movie did one scene perfectly imho - when the gargoyle accosts the old guy in bed, reaching up over the foot of the bed. When I was a kid that was such a freaky scene! Just another reason to love this movie !

Many thanks to the Blue Dress Painting-ghostie-gal for escaping her canvas and making an appearance! 😁 It made everything better and more spooky-special!

[@rhondae8222]

I watched this movie before, and it is very good. Thanks for sharing.

[@briangrigsby1842]

actually had some good actors that became famous. The acting and story/writing was good also. You actually do a good job selecting!!!!!!

[@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt]

It will be delightful to see what tricks we get... Blue Dress Painting-ghostie-gal appearance maybe? And with what Tangella shall adorn herself!

Fun fact the girl who plays Diana is Jennifer Salt who would go on to play Eunice in the TV show soap and who now I believe is a writer and producer for America Horror Story and the TV show nurse Fletcher

[@bgdavenport]

Even though this was a made for tv movie, it was quite good!

[@robertbelliii7048]

I was seven when this film came to the downtown movie theater in the small town that I grew up in. My next door neighbor and friend at the time told me about this film. I could not see it when it came out but I remember looking at the poster in front of the now showing display glass of the theater. I am glad I was finally able to see this film. It reminds me of the era in which I grew up. I love watching these old films. Nostalgia I guess .But, it is an entertaining move.

[@zonarecordingstudio]

Thanks for picking it tangella

[@davidorr8194]

Tangella... I have to say that I have never found Beetlejuice to be attractive, let alone beautiful, but here we are!!! You have made it so! Also, now, in 2024, there is a new Beetlejuice movie coming out, and the trailer looks actually good!!! :)

Second comment of the show. Did anyone notice, during the letters segment, their lovely blonde guest could be seen behind Vince as long as the camera was facing him but when there was a side shot, she completely disappeared!! Even when the Blue Lady was there in side shot, blonde lady was gone!

This was one of the ONLY movies in my 62 years that ever gave me an eerie or "creeped out" feeling. It was mainly the strange frame rate that did it for me regardless of the effect being similar to stop-motion animation (and yeah, "Jason and the Argonauts" also creeped me out for that reason - so it was SURREAL and UNREALISTIC that did it for me).

[@seththewelsh1055]

[@KingOFuh]

Napa Valley Register, Wednesday, November 29, 1972; LIVELY ARTS, by Dick Kleiner; WILDE IN THE CAVES-For the first time in a long time, Cornel Wilde has worked for somebody other than himself. He did a TV movie for CBS called Gargoyles (not about a new kind of mouthwash). In the last few years Wilde has produced, directed and, generally, starred in his own films. But this is strictly a job for hire. "It came at a good time for me," Wilde says. "I was between pictures of my own." Gargoyles was filmed entirely on location in and around Carlsbad, N.M., and it's about a race of gargoyle-like creatures living in caves. Wilde, like most independent filmmakers, is finding it increasingly difficult to get financing for his movies. The big studios, which were always the prime source of money, are cutting back production. He and the others are going outside the industry for their dollars. It's almost all location shooting today, too. Wilde says one young electrician in the Gargoyles company, he couldn't have been much over 30 or 32, told him he'd already worked in 41 countries. Wilde has traveled all over, too, but says he's never found a place he'd rather live than here in Beverly Hills. He has a home in the woods, he grows guavas and tangerines (when the raccoons don't get them) and flowers. But he can get to the ocean or the mountains or the desert in a few hours or less. "I've been all over, but I prefer it right here."

[@jeffwads]

Usually slo-mo ruins a scene, but they used it well here. Probably related to the fps. I saw this as a kid, and it freaked me out bigtime. Especially when the daughter was walking back to the hotel.
