Satanic Sundays! Six Films Truly Spawned From The Devil’s Lair

Growing up everyone said that television was the devil’s tool. And what a tool it was. There was some groovy shows in the 70’s that brought the occult and the horror to sets all over American. There were also some great 70’s horror and occult TV movies that celebrated and warned of the evils of a supernatural presence. So for Satanic Sunday I have chosen six films that came to TV land in those unglorious days of the 70’s.
