OLD gargoyle movie

[johny5]

Hello all,

I am trying to find the name of a movie about gargoyles that was made in the 50s or 60s.
The info I have about it is lame at best but I hope it may help jog some memories.

It was about a male and a female.
They werent evil or dangerous they just wanted to be left alone.
They had a child.
It was black and white.

Please dont be overwhelmed by the details.

Thanks,

JOHN.

I too have been looking for this movie to refer to it in a magazine article. I remember at the end of the movie, three people in the front of a pickup and you see them driving off in the distance; they have managed to escape from the gargoyles. But then the camera pans up close to the back window of the pickup and you see a gargoyle hand go up on the back glass of the pickup. Of course the movie ends there. It is not the 1972 movie, as I too remember this one as being in black & white. It also seems that the gargoyles were only alive at night.

Did the Gargoyles have needles that came out of their fingers?

fwiw: i'm featuring this thread as I was also deeply freaked out as a kid by a gargoyle movie... i mean FREAKED... and i blocked it out for eons... but now that i'm, you know, older... for me I think it's the 72 film.... anyway, i like this thread. 

Yeah -- i just watched some of this -- i think this was it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyZU6TVka_E  (Which makes sense. In 1972 i was 9 and probably caught this on TV)

thanks for digging it all up.

 The Movie was filmed in and around Carlsbad, NM and I am pretty sure it was titled " Night of the Gargoyles".

 I belive it was filmed in the fifties and would really like to find a copy if available. The "Gargoyle Cave" is still a local attraction.

I think your title might be a bit "off."  Looked for it all over the internet but no movies come back with that title.  If you remember the correct title, please post back.  I am dying to find this movie (at least the title."

The film made in Carlsbad is the 1972 "Gargoyles."  Google "gargoyles Carlsbad."

That is correct. It was a tv movie, Bernie Casey played the Gargoyle.

Night of The Gargoyle was a book. You can buy it on Amazon.

There's been a discussion on IMDB going on since 2008 that seems to be trying to locate the same film you are.  Some people mention a few possible titles, but I don't think any of them are the one you're looking for.  Still, you could browse through the responses and see if anything clicks for you.

I searched for the keyword "gargoyle" at IMDB also, but it didn't turn up anything that seemed like what you're describing.

The one I am thinking of is black and white too. One detail I remember is that the gargoyles had needles that came out of their fingers. This movies scard me for years!!!
