“This made for TV movie, which debuted in ABC’s “Movie of the Week” slot, remains a cult item by virtue of strong performances and special effects by Stan Winston… and NBC’s The Bold Ones: The New Doctors/NBC Reports. Originally broadcast as part of The New CBS Tuesday Night Movies, Gargoyles had to contend with the ABC Movie of the Week/Marcus Welby M.D. This brings us to CBS’ Gargoyles (1972), a TV movie that aimed to rectify that situation and give these mostly forgotten creatures a chance to shine through the filter of a demented Saturday morning vibe. Pity the poor gargoyle, second tier (at the very least) in horror iconography, resigned to being stone portents in many a film, but never getting their creepy due.
