Planet of the Apes, My Friend Flicka, Fright Night, and Cleopatra are just some of the films Roddy McDowall made during his long career in Hollywood. 2026 is the year we FINALLY get a biography of him. -> #BookThreads #BookSky #BookReview #RoddyMcDowall #NetGalley #Citadel #Biography #PopCulture

40 years ago this week, "Remo's Theme (What If)" by #TommyShaw entered the #Top100 at 90. It peaked at 81 on 19 Oct 1985. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDW4CV-Ge-4 If you don't remember, it was the theme song from "Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins". The adventure never continued in theatres, but there was a TV pilot called "Remo Williams: The Prophecy". #RoddyMcDowall was Chiun, so they weren't too concerned about the reaction to #JoelGrey's casting. #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

"Night Gallery: The Cemetery"
From 2014. Was rewatching the old pilot episode of NIGHT GALLERY & I loved this shot of Roddy McDowall's character tossing the painting into the fireplace.
The story itself was really solid & haunting. Like an Edgar Allen Poe tale.

Nach dem durch und durch durchschnittlichen Vorgänger habe ich von ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES (1971) nicht viel ewartet. Vielleicht wurde ich auch deshalb positiv überrascht.

Ava Gardner stars in The Ballad of Tam Lin (1970), Roddy McDowall’s only film as a director. An odd but interesting and ambiguous folk horror movie inspired by a Scottish folk tale about a love triangle involving the queen of the fairies.

Wow, I had forgotten #TheFantasticJourney. It came and went so quickly as a midseason replacement, and it was before VCRs were the norm.

I recall watching it to see #RoddyMcDowall, but it hardly got going before it was gone.

It! (1967). Roddy McDowall is wonderfully unhinged as a museum curator and occultist who discovers that an old statue is a golem, which can bring him the power he has always craved. Has some nice off-the-wall moments. Good stuff.

Many folks here know I'm a big fan of all things #PlanetOfTheApes Film, TV and animated versions.

The Legend of Hell House is a 1973 British horror flick written by Richard Matheson, based on his fine novel Hell House.

The film concerns a scientific investigation of a haunting.

One of the very best haunted house movies ever made. A superb example of subtle intelligent horror.

When highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved one needs maximum attention regardless of times watched 😁

Roger Vadim's Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971). Written by Gene Roddenberry. Yes, the Star Trek guy. A totally outrageous movie that managed to alienate almost everybody at the time.

As an outrageous and demented black comedy/sex comedy it works in its own delirious way.

A great cast - Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson, Telly Savalas, Roddy McDowall.
