Years ago, before cable and all the other ultra-modern stuff, it used to be regularily broadcast as a special- usually without commercial interruption over, if one remembers correctly, the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It used to be on channel 2 or CBs as One distantly recalls. I never liked it anyhow. Too creepy and after all the lead character was a girl,.
