The Grue Crew return to the proverbial well for another made-for-TV horror movie from the 1970s, this time for Black Noon (1971), a horror western starring Roy Thinnes, Lyn Loring, Ray Milland, Yvette Mimeaux, Hank Worden, Henry Silva, and Gloria Grahame. Imagine, if you will, a reverend and his wife stranded in the desert, rescued by a trio of kindly strangers (who just happen to be out for a ride in the middle of the desert), and taken to a comforting but strange little town … in the middle of the desert. The Crew are divided on this one, but you’ll have to check out the podcast to see who lands on which side of Black Noon. Regardless, the Grue Crew loves 70s made-for-TV horror movies and there is plenty of fodder for their talkabout!

At the time of this writing, Black Noon (1971) is available to stream from Tubi and YouTube.
