I have copies of a lot of these (including Girl Most Likely To) sitting around unwatched. Perhaps the time has come to tackle some tv trash.I liked The House That Would Not Die with Barbara Stanwyck. Kind of my platonic ideal Halloween (mildly creepy, mildly goofy, something you can put on in the background to just enjoy the vibes without needing to be too invested).

Lots of good horror ‘uns when I was a kid:
Trilogy of Terror (Karen Black in 3 roles)
Frankenstein: The True Story (“funny Polly Dolly!”)
Sybil (not really a horror movie but it played like one)

I've still never seen Duel, but Spielberg's Something Evil, done a year later and with the kid from Family Affair, is scary.
And yeah, Sybil's great (and very much a horror movie whenever the mom is on screen).

The third segment of Trilogy of Terror, the Zuni doll segment, is like the mic drop of all TV movies

[Born Innocent (1974) starring Linda Blair is incredible (mentioned 20 years ago itt). Nightmare in Badham County (1976) also astonishing - look for the uncensored theatrical cut of that.
Dying Room Only (1973) starring Cloris Leachman is very strong. Written by Richard Matheson who wrote Duel and many Twilight Zone episodes.
