This fright-night double bill of ripe-for-rediscovery ’70s TV gems brings together the tense stalker thriller SOMEONE’S WATCHING ME, directed with ruthless efficiency by genre master John Carpenter, and the Carrie-esque telekinesis shocker THE SPELL, featuring an unforgettable performance from Lee Grant.
