"Telephonic Terror from Times Gone By!" - WHEN MICHAEL CALLS (1972)

This episode of ScreamQueenz was originally published on June 20, 2024 on Patreon as an episode of "It Came From the '70s!". For more Patreon-exclusive episodes of "It Came From the '70s' and "Damn You, Uncle Lewis: The Friday the 13th: The Series Retrospective", become a Patron at patreon.com/screamqueenz.

Climb aboard Polyester Airlines for a trip full of telephonic terror as we travel back in time to February 5, 1972: the night WHEN MICHAEL CALLS starring ELIZABETH ASHLEY, BEN GAZARRA and MICHAEL DOUGLAS premiered as the ABC Movie of the Week.

Elizabeth Ashley starts receiving vaguely threatening phone calls from her long-dead nephew. Naturally, she dismisses it as a prank until it becomes clear that when Michael calls...people die.

My copilot for this dangerous voyage is New York City's favorite undead horror host: the fabulous UNKLE SPOOKY.
