Never even heard of this before. Glad The Underground is Back.

In the same boat as you never heard of it and am watching it now. I love TCM underground too I only wish they had it going all year instead of it being so sporadic, I always check the guide on Saturday but it seems TCM rarely plays these kinds of movies very much, I wish they would devote more time to stuff like this instead of so many repeats of movies from 1930s-40's all the time. I Really can't be bothered with movies before the 1950's, I have a few real early films I like ( of mice and men is a good example) but that time period IMO has some really hokey acting its all over the top and like a stage play type stuff just not my thing.

Totally agree! The last 2 or 3 months have been dry on Saturday nights.With Halloween around the corner. I hope they continue there Horror run. Saturdays 11pm is such a perfect time slot for these type of movies. It would be even better if they brought a Host back to the format.

Finally!!! I have never heard of this for some reason. TCM was dry as the desert for so long. I remember the Pack. pretty good Killer fido flicks.

For a moment I thought the guy with the beard was Donald Sutherland lol. He sounds like him.

Dig that slow, funky Romanian groove when they are driving around.

I like this one one now best.
the 70's weren't a good time between humans and insects and animals! hahaha

reply

I have never heard of it either. And I too am watching it right now :). I wonder what breed of dog "Draculas Dog" is. He kind of looks like a blue Beauceron but that is a pretty rare breed nowadays. Let alone in the 70s...

Anyways yes I love TCMs underground. It's great catching movies like this.

reply

I'm almost positive the dog is a Doberman dyed to be black. Just like the white bird dog in the movie later turned black. Some points in the close ups of the dog I can see the rust red coloring of his muzzle.

reply

Me, too. Heard about, but never saw it. It is a great little B movie.

reply

I think this may be the first time TCM has shown it. It's not great but at least it's new to me. I'm also a TCM Underground fan. It sucks that it's gone every August because of the one Star all day deal. It does seem to disappear at random sometimes as well. I will put up with those type of shenanigans though because they sometimes show Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. It's one of the greatest movies of all time and a must see.

reply

Really they have shown Riki-oh thats pretty damn cool I did not know that. They should do a double feature of that and "The Ebola Syndrome" that would be awesome to watch while having a few beers.

reply

Watching it too. Didn't know about it. Great treat to start getting in the mood for Halloween.

reply

yeah i'm also watching it followed by The Pack, tonight's theme seems to be KILLER DOGS 

Channel Six News, they'll finger anything with a pulse!

reply

I've seen that one.It's pretty good.

reply

Oh I wish they'd show The Daring Donermans! Or The Doberman Gang. Those were my favorite movies when I was little.

reply

First time on TCM in a very good print. I'd only seen it on VHS tape. Every store had lit.

reply

That is where I watched it.
