A 1975 Supernatural Horror directed by Robert Fuest that follows a cult leader (Ernest Borgnine) haunting the Preston family for generations.
The movie also stars Eddie Albert, William Shatner, Ida Lupino, Tom Skerritt, Joan Prather, John Travolta, George Sawaya, Anton Le Vey, Diane Hegarty, Woodrow Chambliss, and Lisa Todd.
It was released on August 7, 1975.
Tropes for the film:
- Cut Phone Lines: The town's outside phone lines are cut.
- I'm Melting!: The climax shows the satanic cult melting due to the eponymous occurrence.
- I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Shatner, Skerritt, and Prather previously worked together on Big Bad Mama.
- Secret Circle of Secrets: The movie was advertised as giving the audience "the first real look into the world of Satanism". Despite the presence of several LARGE HAMS (including William Shatner and Ernest Borgnine), it has all the thrilling scares of
cardboard box convention. - Tagline: "Absolutely the most incredible ending of any motion picture".
