A Howling in the Woods
A disillusioned housewife on a vacation in the woods is disturbed by her husband continually trying to get her to come home and, more ominously, a mysterious howling at night.
Why it matters
A simmering psychological thriller that blends small-town unease with supernatural whispers, capturing early ’70s TV horror’s creeping dread.
- Barbara Eden sheds sitcom warmth for a quietly unsettling turn as a woman unraveling in isolation.
- The eerie howls and shadowed woods create a mood of slow-burning paranoia, predating folk horror’s TV mutations.
- Larry Hagman and Vera Miles add gravitas, anchoring the film’s tension in family dynamics and hidden pasts.
- For fans of atmospheric, character-driven scares over gore — a time capsule of made-for-TV horror’s restrained but effective chills.
