Although rarely held in high regard by critics, the made for television horror film remains an intriguing artifact of network programming. Any subgenre was up for grabs, and the output was disparate, vast, and surprisingly subversive, often producing a collective memory (or trauma, depending) shared by millions of viewers. This retrospective on the golden age of the telefilm and beyond will be hosted by Amanda Reyes, editor and co-author of the indispensable guide “Are You in the House Alone? A TV Movie Compendium: 1964-1999.”
