The Norliss Tapes (1973)
Produced & Directed by Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler)
Written by William F. Nolan (Trilogy of Terror, Logan's Run)
Roy Thinnes - David Norliss
Don Porter - Sanford T. Evans (publisher)
Angie Dickinson - Ellen Sterns Cort (widow)
Claude Akins - Sheriff Tom Hartley
Michele Carey - Marsha Sterns
Vonetta McGee - Mme. Jeckiel
Hurd Hatfield - Charles Langdon
Bryan O'Byrne - Mr. Dobkins
Ed Gilbert - Sid Phelps (coroner)
Jane Dulo - Sarah Dobkins
Robert Mandan - George Rosen (Norliss' lawyer)
Bob Schott - Sargoth (demon)
George DiCenzo - Man in Langdon gallery
Patrick Wright - Larry Mather
Nick Dimitri - James Raymond Cort (zombie)
Stanley Adams - Truck driver who finds Millie
This was meant to be the beginning of a series, only this first chapter was ever completed however.
After author David Norliss fails to make an appointment he specifically asked for, his publisher goes to his home and hoping to find a clue to his disappearance, plays the audio tapes Norliss left behind.
The first tape tells the story of a recent widow and her late artist husband returning from the dead to commit murders and sculpt a statue out of blood-laced clay.
The TV movie ends with the publisher starting tape #2: "It all started when I got the letter..."
Not as good as The Night Stalker but it would have made an interesting series.
