The absolutely most terrifying horror flick was "The Last Man on Earth" with Vincent Price. Based on Richard Matheson's novel "I am Legend" (1954).

I think I saw that once, on AMC's "Friday Night Frights" or TCM...Matheson is an often underrated horror/sci-fi writer. BTW, Spielberg's directorial debut was for a segment of the pilot for "Night Gallery" that featured Joan Crawford as a blind woman who pays to have another person's eyes transplanted to her...according to legend, Crawford asked who this "Child" was who was going to be directing her, and when Spielberg met her she told him stories about all the fights she'd had with Betty Davis over the years!

Dennis Weaver may have been a lib, but he was of that generation who knew how to keep his work and his politics seperate. Anyone remember the McCloud episode where he got high on LSD and started hallucinating? Or the one with the guy who thought he was a vampire (with guest star Tom Snyder?)
