Ghost Story (TV 1972) :01x03 - At The Cradle Foot

[@brooklyngal6334]

James Franciscus was gorgeous, I liked him in the Planet of the Apes sequel. He went on to produce and direct too. Died too young at 57. This show is such quality, fantastic actors and chilling stories. Even better than Night Gallery which was great too. 70's really brought out the suspense!

James Franciscus and Elizabeth Ashley also appeared together in the 1972 made-for-TV movie One of My Wives is Missing with Jack Klugman. They had great chemistry and looked physically appealing together. And both were all over television in the 70s.

Cynthia Lyman I just saw her in something recent & was surprised she was still alive. Sounds terrible, I know. Can't remember what it was, her hair was all white. Anyway, always liked her. Johnny Carson always had her on. She was married to two of the 70's best. James Farentino, also married to Michelle Lee & George Peppard.

Back in the day when we had cool playground equipment. Not the wimpy stuff they put out now. No fun at all. We had the excitement of death defying stuff and we all lived thru it. lol When they took down our huge metal slide (the rocket ship) at Bellevue Park (which was probably 20 or 30 feet at it's highest) it was a very sad day for me. You should see the crap they replaced it with! UGH!! I feel so bad for kids these days. It amazes me how lame everything is now. So protected. I would rather have been a kid in the 70's like I was than the crap nowadays. Seat belts, car seats, no riding in the back of the truck, bike helmets!! Give me a break!! I love my computer, cell phone etc. but I would trade it all to go back to the time of the 70's. Nothing has ever compared. Thanks so much for posting!!

[@tombrunila2695]

As for bike helmets for kids. Some years ago a Swedish researcher said that yes bike helmets protect kids but, they also teach them that falling with your bike is safe and doesn't hurt. And that way kids learn to be careless because they are not hurt even by small accidents and one day this carelessness will lead to a more severe accident when they are not wearing a helmet and they will get very badly hurt.

[@randallbell8887]

James Franciscus is the handsome man.

[@projectkj7643]

He died in ‘91 due to smoking - emphysema. He was only 57. Coincidently, in this movie, the garage guy tells the main character, “Nothing’s wrong with it if you don’t mind owning a garage and a boarding house at age 57.” I’m sure that seemed way off to James but that was his ending age, only ~20 more yrs. it would have been even crazier if he died in the year “Emily” was supposed to die...they were one year off. I was thought Meg looked reptilian bc of her eyes.

[@StaalRulz2010]

[@kathywilkins5546]

I want to know what happened to Meg Foster. I'm not trying to be mean, but she was one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood and last time I saw her, she looke like a wrinkled up crack addict. I'm not exaggerating. How old is she? Anybody know?

[@kindspirit7]

Kathy I may be wrong but I think she was a heavy smoker and also sun bather. She is only 73 but I saw her in a movie a few years ago called Jeepers Creepers 3 and she looked like 80s! Skin so loose and raspier voice than normal. I doubt it was makeup to make her look older just wearing out after many years of abuse to her body. Again I could be wrong but know many people like her and same thing happens.

[@garyb3397]

In case you didn't know it, they dropped Cabot from the show altogether, changing the name of the show from "Ghost Story" to "Circle of Fear." Cabot's firing was a vast improvement, but it didn't increase the ratings (no surprise there).

Exactly. They shouldve shot at night and the series should have had stories @ night. I liked Cabot.

[@neaituppi7306]

The reality is, most people, the general TV public, are not into clever, imaginative, psychologically disturbing, scary stories like these. Now or back then. They have Black Mirror now, which has the same quality and intent. But I think that also has a small following. These kinds of shows, the intent is for you to look inside your black mirror. Most people go into denial if faced with looking at themselves.

Thank-you for the information James. I really liked Outer Limits and the teleplay, The Man Who Was Never Born. so this teleplay is an adaptation of that teleplay. I watched this teleplay at least 4 times over the past few years and when it came out and I could not understand it. It was too vague to me. But, The man who was never born was crystal clear. IT's one of my all time favorite Outer Limits.

[@paulchristman2456]

Good episode. I like the ambiguous ending. At first I thought Bo Svenson was playing the young woman's fiance. This series offered intruiging, subtle scares, and the show had considerable class overall. But this was just before "The Exorcist" opened up a grotesque Pandora's box of crude and visceral disgusting imagery which immediately became expected staple elements in the horror genre. If I had the money and the wherewithal necessary, I'd produce a good, classy, and YES, old-fashioned horror series, and I'd try to pitch it to whoever would run it on their channel or wherever.

[@kimdorris8106]

I’m reading comments about the little girl’s dress being short. Yeah, that was the fashion. I was a little girl in the 60’s and wore short dresses with ruffled panties. There was nothing sexual about it. Girls were LITTLE! Now pageants with makeup and teased hair and provocative clothing is over the top. But not what we’re talking about here. If some sick POS is looking at your child in a sexual way, a long dress is not going to make a difference. I’m not trying to start anything with anybody. Just my opinion.

[@LisaHerman1963]

I totally agree. I was born in 1963. I think what is sick is those pageants. It's disgusting. It's like parents putting their kid out there for pedos to look at. Dressing them like adult hookers. It is so sick and twisted. Jon Benet would still be alive today had it not been for those pageants. Kids were kids back in the 60's. I wasn't allowed to wear make up until I was a teenager and even then I didn't look like a prostitute. Just a little blush and eye shadow. Anyone who puts their kid in a pageant at such a young age should be ashamed of themselves. To me, it is a form of child abuse.

Say that garage looks just like the one in the Dukes of Hazzard TV series ?

[@brooklyngal6334]

Must be, they were both filmed in Burbank Studios.

[@Emulous79]

Am I the only one who finds the slow motion so schlocky? Kind of funny.

[@serenatwilite4005]

It was very commonly used in the 60's and 70's to give a scary effect in horror movies and shows. I was a kid then and it always gave me the creeps when they used it. I always wondered why it seemed so scary to me as a kid, but as an adult I've come to realize it seems like any time something human has an unusual gait, or way of moving that isn't right, it kind of messes with your mind. In more recent movies like, "The Ring", when the dead girl Samara crawls out of the TV and has that weird jerky way of walking, it always creeps me out. That seems to be a popular trick they use in horror movies of this century. I also remember seeing a movie where a girl was possessed and she bent over backwards and did this crab crawl down some stairs, that was really spooky looking.

[@Emulous79]

@@serenatwilite4005 Good points. The crab walk was The Exorcist, no? In the Mouth of Madness had a similar thing, too.

The town square at 12:15 is the same set for Stars Hollow/Gilmore Girls

That little girl's dress is WAY too short, they dressed little girls in way too short dresses then and I remember them. I always begged my mom for pretty dresses, but down past my knees. I couldn't imagine why people thought they were cute that short. You could see her underpants every time she moved. But Dodie from My Three Sons and Cindy from The Brady Bunch were the same way.

[@definitedoll]

Yes Meg Foster has those very light blue eyes.

[@tombrunila2695]

At 19:40, a guy sweeping the sidewalk! Those were the times.

[@garyb3397]

Junkie stuff, but fun nonetheless. I'm sure much of the fun derives from watching Franciscus and Ashley say this dialogue with a straight face. Oh, those goofy '70's.

[@Scatscar1985]

Perhaps the lack of ghosts in this one led to the series being renamed.

[@deborahchesser7375]

Always loved Meg Fosters eyes

[@lillylazer429]

Right. Lucky

[@chrischipps7583]

I always loved Meg Foster's eyes too and Elizabeth Ashley's eyes, in fact, I'd prefer Elizabeth Ashley.

[@gumdokim]

You flipped out mister, you need help. Lol his face 28:08

[@davidj7523]

Instead trying to prevent that boy from being born. Why don't he talk to his cougar daughter about dating young guys.

[@dulceniapagan1975]

Lmao

[@ALTNEWSUSA]

Isn't it weird that James Franciscus character Paul Dover and his ex-wife say to each other in the end of this episode that all they need to do is to stay alive for 20 more years to save their daughter's life... and in reality, James Franciscus dies 19 years later in real life...... from smoking related emphysema / COPD..... Want to save your daughter's life? DON'T SMOKE!!!!!!!

[@grnpeepers2683]

ALT NEWS USA 2017..... Or hire a body guard for her instead w/her would be inheritance. 🤔

[@brooklyngal6334]

Very sad, James Franciscus had 4 daughters in real life.

[@Heinrich1122]

12..bucks a week..that would be $397.33 .a week.. with inflation. 2019

[@leavingitblank9363]

About $57/day--- For a plain room, that seems consistent with modern prices.

[@stephenwitherington879]

If my surmises are correct, James Franciscus's mistake was going back into the past. If he had left well alone, his daughter in 20 years' time would be safe, whereas nothing would save her after the killing (self defence). Why? Because the girl would give birth to a son; he would learn of what happened to his father, & the identity of who shot him; then, what better way to exact revenge than to kill the killer's daughter. So, although Franciscus felt he were preventing his daughter's murder he was, in reality, bringing it about. The premonition was correct, but only if acted upon; which, unfortunately, for JF, he did & would pay the price in the future. I had already worked out earlier that the girl wouldn't need to 'marry' the guy to have a child, & clearly JF failed to realise this until she told him. In the final analysis, if JF had killed the girl he would have saved his daughter's life in the future, but surrendered his own life in the past in the process. A riveting story.

[@allenkracalik7662]

Well done, but once again, I guessed the ending.

[@2011paramedic]

Now stay tuned for Robert Forster as Banyon, next on NBC!

[@elvinposey5251]

still waiting! I only have 2 episodes on dvd from another collector.

[@jmarie9997]

He caused it. By killing the father, he gave the son a motive for revenge.
