One highlight was this episode about a closing film studio haunted by the movie monsters created there. It\u2019s a fun, silly premise but, though it\u2019s all patently ridiculous, there\u2019s a real sense of character and finality to it all. Partly that\u2019s due to the uniquely expressive and memorable monster designs\u2014we hear scraps of films unmade, and they actually all sound pretty good\u2014but the bulk of the credit belongs to the dual lead performers, Gomez Addams himself, John Astin, and his real-life wife Patty Duke. The two have a natural gravity, and mine the tragedy and pathos in this story of the end of an era. And an on-point cameo by horror master William Castle will give a charge to fans of the genre and be totally invisible to casual eyes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Circle Of Fear (TV 1973) :01x19 - Graveyard Shift\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NZlBM8hw3cg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6509\" style=\"border: 4px solid  #000000;\" src=\"http:\/\/smugfilm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/graveyard.jpg\" alt=\"graveyard\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NZlBM8hw3cg\" target=\"_blank\">Circle of Fear &#8220;Graveyard Shift&#8221;<\/a> (1973) | Dir.
