I am proud to say my father was a sound mixer on some or all of the Evil Touch series. I have always thought it to be an Aussie production as his studio was in Sydney.
Man, this show gave me the creeps when I was a kid but it's been over 30 years since seeing it and it's hard to remember now. I was a huge fan of 'Night Stalker', 'Night Gallery', 'Dark Shadows' and 'Ghost Story' as well a made for TV movie at that time called 'Don't Be Afriad of the Dark'.
Not too many people remember this show. It was obviously canceled after one season for reasons unknown.
Galls me to agree with my expatriot Aussie-Stud cohort on Rhode Island but he is spot on here...THE EVIL TOUCH was classic retro-70's.
The evil touch was a good tv show,corny,but good. I was once an extra in one of the episodes with Carol Lynley and Sandy Harbutt.
As with the other contributors, I have happy memories of watching this excellent TV drama which regularly included elements of sci fi, horror and supernatural goings-on.It was stylish entertainment and having recently seen a couple of episodes again for the first time since the 70s, I'm pleased to say that it's lost nothing over the years which speaks volumes about its original quality.
I too have fond memories of this show though I recall its budgetary limitations being obvious even by then-contemporary standards.The lake monster in DEAR BELOVED MONSTER looked like a briefly-glimpsed head of cabbage.
How I wish to see this show again. On DVD preferably.
