To this day I can't get that freaky Devil Doug Mclure ending out of my mind. Thanks for bringing the nightmares back!

The Bermuda Triangle was the subject of quite a large number of TV movies and documentaries. It's incredible how many wild, woolly, and yet surprisingly good TV movies were in the 70's. I think the restrictions in place at the time forced creative teams to really tighten up scripting, tease out directorial innovations, jettison a lot of ancillary material that added no value, and find suggestive and metaphorical opportunities with dialog. I think generally, the better TV movies had more limited casts and streamlined plots, while the lesser ones struggled to give enough material to too-large casts and threw the kitchen sink into the plot. I wish more of these things were circulated, as I remember a practically steady diet of good-to-excellent TV movies throughout my childhood and adolescence. Really an incredible number of them considering there were just three networks, although all three produced what seemed like at least one decent movie every week--in the case of ABC, more still. Not to mention summer time-fillers and after school specials. It began to seem as though television itself could not have existed without actors like Richard Crenna, Patty Duke, William Shatner, Arthur Hill, Robby Benson, John Savage, Dennis Weaver, and Linda Purl--all of whom were in a whole bunch of these things!Sherinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-17832395967309984102017-04-13T13:14:18.640-04:002017-04-13T13:14:18.640-04:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENhCjHjFLHk

Like your brother-in-law, as a young boy, I saw this on ABC on January 14, 1975 too. It was extremely scary to me back then and is yet another '70s telefilm gem. Amazing what an interesting script and good director with a low-budget could deliver. This '70s telefilm Satan’s Triangle plot was so engaging and when I saw the 1997 Event Horizon film I recalled it. They took the Bermuda Triangle/Yacht/devil and replaced it with the outer solar system/Event Horizon spaceship/devil, so similar.<br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.com
