In Search Of was an hour long documentary TV series that aired from 1976 to 1982. The show was hosted by the great Leonard Nimoy and conducted investigations into controversial and strange phenomenon. This show scared the crap out of me.
Going back and watching it now, I can tell why, the subject manner, the overall dark tone, Leonard Nimoy’s voice, and the music are just creepy. Maybe the makers didn’t set out to scare the crap out of their viewers, but man did they succeed on many an occasion.
Here’s the one episode that is just super super creepy. It is all about the Amityville Horror that aired in 1976.
Please, bookmark this or save the link, wait until dark, make time to curl up in bed and watch this alone, you won’t regret it!
(it’s a little dark in the beginning, but it get’s brighter)
Ha! My 6th grade teacher actually made us watch this series in class. Leonard Nimoy’s dry delivery really does make this creepy.
Wow! I wish I could have gone to your school! We had to watch super boring films–ON FILM! Can you imagine how cool it would have been to have Leonard Nimoy as a teacher?!
That was a great show and had a catchy intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSK3p7CplrM Leonard Nimoy is one cool cat.
I love the music. How I miss droning synthy themes!
