This awesome desert horror creature feature premiered 11/21/72 onThe New CBS Tuesday Night Movies.
After getting word about the existence of a large non-human with wings and horns, anthropology Professor/Doctor Boley (Cornel Wilde) and his daughter (Jennifer Salt) travel to New Mexico to Uncle Willie’s Desert Museum to have a look, and run afoul of the gargoyles, who want their skull back, thankyouverymuch.
There is a gargoyle queen, a biker gang, a kidnapping, and plenty of lore and world-building.
Cornel Wilde is best known for his 1940s/50s swashbucklers and romantic dramas, and best known by me for his noir films: The Big Combo, Leave Her to Heaven, Shockproof, Storm Fear, and Road House, which also stars my darling Ida Lupino.
Jennifer Salt starred, with her former roommate Margot Kidder, in Brian DePalma’s deranged horror film Sisters (also 1972), but is known mostly for being on Soap (1977-1981). Later in life she became a writer and producer on American Horror Story.
