All aboard for another flight into made-for-tv terror on Polyester Airlines as we journey back to the night of December 11, 1973 for the world premiere of the latest ABC Movie of the Week, "THE CAT CREATURE" starring MEREDITH BAXTER ("Family Ties", "All the President's Men"), DAVID HEDISON ("The Fly, "Live and Let Die"), GALE SONDERGAARD ("The Black Cat", "The Time of Their Lives") and STUART WHITMAN ("Night of the Lepus", "Shock Corridor").
After a mysterious Egyptian amulet is stolen from a sarcophagus, everyone who comes into contact with the amulet falls prey to a bloodsucking monster kitty.
Fresh from his sweet summer gig at Fire Island's glamorous Ice Palace, my co-pilot on this ill-advised flight into mummy mania is everyone's favorite undead horror host, UNKLE SPOOKY from "Unkle Spooky's SPOOK-O-RAMA". Follow him on Instagram at @unkle_spooky
