The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre (1967) Judith Anderson, Martin Landau, Diane Baker - Horror/Mystery

[@mjd4502]

This movie was a staple on those 'Creature Feature' programs in Australia (mainly Sydney) in the late 60s and early to mid 70s before disappearing believed to be lost for decades, gaining cult status before surfacing on dvd and bluray, about five years ago. I remember watching this late one Saturday night when I was about eight or nine, in the very early 70s, and the ghost of the title completely freaked me out. Thanks for uploading this. Happy memories!

[@miapdx503]

I can't believe I've never seen it before! I'm stoked to find a gem I haven't seen. Pass the popcorn!

[@stevecoleman2250]

@@mjd4502 This was shown on “Deadly Earnest” back in 1966/1967 in Sydney. Mum and Dad not happy we were watching his. This film was unusual for “Deadly Earnest” as it was very modern compared to the films from the 1940s and 1950s, also Martin Landau was a regular on “Mission Impossible” which came out at the same time. Landau was a supporting actor in “North by Northwest”. “Cleopatra” and “Nevada Smith”. Then he went on to “Space 1999” and then he won the Oscar for best supporting actor playing Bela Lugosi in “Ed Wood”. From the looks of it it seemed as if it was a pilot for a series than never got off the ground.

[@mjd4502]

​​@@stevecoleman2250 Yes, this was a pilot from 1964 that was not picked up which was to be called, The Haunted. Legend has it that the wife of the then president of CBS saw it and was freaked out by the ghost effects wnd told her husband that it would be too scary for network television! The reality is that CBS probably thought that it wouldn't fit in with its schedule. It was then padded out with extra footage retitled 'Ghost of Sierra de Cobre' and sold off as a TV movie mostly to the Philippines and Australia. I don't believe it ever played in the U.S. Deadly Earnest! The opening with the guys running around Channel 10 with the coffin, scared the hell out of 5 year old me!! The original shorter version, 'The Haunted' is also on KZbin, i think and works a little better than 'Ghost'.

[@AmandathePandaBooks]

Martin Landau was terrific in anything he was in. His career lasted his whole life! Loved him in space 1999!! I still watch the reruns online for free!

[@AndyMangele]

I like your channel quite a lot - whenever I spot a film with Judith Anderson in it I give it a go!

There are a number of folks from the original OUTER LIMITS, and thank heavens for it. I'm glad someone saved this little treasure.

Does anyone else wanna LIVE inside this movie ? The furniture design .....

I just Saved several Diane Baker Movies to watch later! I just Love the way she dressed in all her Movies! I was a Teen in the 60s & her Hair, Fashions & All Together Looks are definately Indicative of that Era! It sure takes me back to those High School Days!

[@miapdx503]

Have you seen her in Marnie? It's an excellent Hitchcock film, ahead of It's time, dealing with trauma and psyco-sexual themes. I highly recommend it.

[@Docneg]

Enjoyed that! Scariest ghost ever, I think. Neat mystery, too. The empty bookcases in the blind man's room was a nice touch. Some thinking people made this.

[@RobertMendez-li5ik]

First time watching 👀 this movie. Nice old scary movie worth watching. Truly enjoyed the movie.

[@zanti209]

WOW! No wonder the pilot never flew. It was way ahead of its time --- 1964. One HEAVY DUTY show. Creepy, tragic, more in the grey than either black or white. Thanks for showing it. AWESOME!!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@jjw8662]

Created by the same writer, cinematographer, and make up artist from the 1963 The Outer Limits series, it was no surprise that after this originally aired in 1964, people called in stating it was too frightening, causing the pilot to be dropped. One of the original series episodes titled SCARECROW was not shown in some cities for the same reason. No wonder Stephen King called The Outer Limits his favorite TV show! Another movie made by the same crew was THE INCUBUS (1966).

[@misfit2022]

An interesting film I watched originally for Martin Landau then noticed Mrs Danvers and Dianne Baker, who excels in mad mother roles, even when it turns out not to be the mother, so definitely worth a watch.

[@sheilabloom6735]

A very good one. A very young Landau and a wonderful Judith Anderson in a Mrs. Danvers-like role. I love these pictures in black and white.

Rebecca is my favorite film. It just has everything. I must have seen it ten times. I could always watch it again. Another Hitchcock film with Diane in it is Marnie, another favorite.

This movie has the most creative opening I've ever seen and yes I watch a lot of movies. Going from a graveyard to city skyline to an ocean washing it out - amazing!

[@deborahlangnese7645]

Black and white is always more mysterious. This actually happened to a family in New Orleans where they had a phone placed in their coffin. And the person kept calling their family members constantly. Which drove the family members nuts. They finally removed the phone lines and the calls stopped. Eerie movie. Nightmares are coming. Weird ending.

[@Amthaus2600]

Excellent Horror Movie!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

A great ghost story.

[@tomsparks6099]

I love DIane Baker. She had incredible talent, an actor not a starlet, endless career from the start, camera loved her. She's not as recognized as she deserves, but the best intelligent artists know how to work the machine and not let it work them.

[@jims974]

Dominic Frontiere fan here, and Diane Baker fan too, so obviously i love this film/pilot. The music sequence at about 7:50 to 8:50, when reworked, appears as a fundamental part of the soundtrack to The Invaders intro (throughout the series) being the music used during the "guest star" sequence. Appearing in the pilot of The Invaders in a key role, was the lovely... Diane Baker. Who also gets to walk off with free man Richard Kimble in the final scene of The Fugitive. For which the music was written by... Dominic Frontiere... 6 degrees of separation? Not even one degree with these people 😉

[@ALBERTRANDALL-p9x]

I also recognize that music, it was the intro music in the Invaders I love that sound it was so eerie, when David Vincent was looking for a place so he could sleep , then that spaceship came down for a landing. I am glad that someone else besides me recognize that music.

​@@miapdx503 People want too much for a free movie. Every movie in English comes with complaints that it isn't available in 100 other languages.

I wouldn't dream of watching a Swedish movie on KZbin and then whine it's not in English! A free movie on KZbin is a gift. I never expect anything will be translated into English just for me.

[@barlowetube]

no one else is stunned by the idiocy of the ending? Not only is Martin L going to jail for murdering the old woman with a knife and then attempting to cover it up by driving the car off the bluff with the young woman in it , but here we have a man with an instinct and intellect so sharp that he knew everything , but he didnt get suspicious that she might drive off the cliff , after receiving several emotionally traumatizing blows, when she stops , pointed directly at the cliff, right where the ghost attempted to push it over not 5 mins before, then when he gets it , it takes him 90 seconds to move 15 feet . the rest was fun .

[@periel]

Yes. After it ended, I said, “What? That was so dumb.”

[@fiorenzointagliata3252]

. the shorter The Haunted is probably the more effective telling. Aside from the relatively languid chunks that get omitted, including Orion’s speech quoted above and that magnificent long take, which here gets sliced to a few seconds, the ending is notably different. The backstory is the same, as is the dramatic climax, but this pilot abruptly gives us one tenor of ending while the longer version throws in one last dramatic twist as Orion stands there with his mouth open instead of making a move to do anything about it.

[@JudithAndersonArchives]

This film was originally an hour-length pilot for an entire series (you can find the pilot separately here on youtube), however the pilot never got picked up, so they put together a feature-length using extra footage they had already filmed in order to at least finish the story, which hadn't been finished in the first version. What resulted is a lot of still strangely unanswered plot-points and suggestions of things to come, which never got to reveal themselves!
