Doctor David Sorell, Psychiatrist, investigates the story of a young tortured woman; bedeviled, seduced, and violated; being pulled over to the lip of Hell. How can you fight the unreal? The unseen?? The unbelievable??? “Broadcast once - Then .... gone! The first made-for-televison horror film. . . As if blown away by a demon wind in the night, this intriguing teleplay has vanished! Forgotten by most and now only a speculative memory from another era!! In this book, you will read, you will bring back the memory and the story that once was!! Between these pages, it lives again!!! Rakashi lives yet again!!!! You will relive, and try not to “FEAR NO EVIL Also contains commentary by Gary Gerani on early television horror films. Hmmm. The first made-for-television horror film? In 1969? I thought there was another thread somewhere in this folder that discusses early TV horror films, and went back farther than 1969. Like kochillt, I have both the Jourdan films on gray market DVRs, have had them for several years. I'm waiting for a legit release that cleans up any VHS copying fuzziness. I'll buy a remastered version in a heartbeat. ... Reed

Riley and producer, Gary Gerani. All praises are to be aimed at them, exclusively, for their total, OUTSTANDING contribution to the creation of the book on this lost television motion picture. My own contribution, despite the authorship, I consider quite minimal to the project!

This appears to be the case with a 1976 videotaped "ABC Wide world of Mystery Movie" I have been trying to track down, "The Two Deaths of Sean Doolittle." It's listed in 1980s Leonard Maltin guides so presumably it was syndicated and there may be tapes of those broadcasts in circulation (though I have yet to find any). I presume that the source of the currently circulating prints of Fear No Evil & Ritual of Evil come from home taping of old broadcasts. H.

Riley, who has contacts there, had a full search done -in the vaults and elsewhere- and there was nothing. A theory is that Universal junked this, and others, as they thought, at the time, they had no future commercial value. I would suggest all inquiries should be directed to Philip J. Riley (film historian) or producer Gary Gerani (who, it seems, is a total expert on this, and other films of this type!), both on Facebook.
