There’s an in between zone that parents often look for if they’re easing their kids into horror. If they’re fans of the genre themselves, the urge to take the tykes from Scooby-Doo to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is very tempting. I was one of the fortunate ones who was allowed to cut out the middleman and dive right into the heady stuff. So it was then that I missed out on a great bridge between the two extremes, The Midnight Hour (1985), ABC’s successful bid to get the Thriller-crazy crowd on their side.
Originally airing November 1st as part of The ABC Friday Night Movie (really? There was no Thursday slot open to make it for Halloween?), The Midnight Hour fought off CBS’ Dallas for its first half and NBC’s Miami Vice for the back, but those shows weren’t the ideal demographic anyway – this...

Dr. Quinn is back ... but she's in full-on Heisenberg mode now!Jane Seymour and a ton of her former "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" costars just reunited for a hilarious Funny or Die video, showing what would probably happen if the show was rebooted now.Taking some heavy cues from "Breaking Bad," the reimagined series follows the title doc as she deals morphine to everyone in Colorado Springs.Joe Lando (and that hair) makes a very welcome cameo as Byron Sully, as do show regulars like Henry G. Sanders, Jonelle Allen, Orson Bean, Brandon Douglas, Geoffrey Lower and Jason Leland Adams.Check out the parody below:We have to admit, both Seymour and Lando look pretty amazing these days, over 20 years after the show made its TV debut.How have more women of the '90s held up?

Dr. Quinn is back! Sort of. Thanks to Funny or Die, we now know what a gritty Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman reboot would like. It's Dr. Quinn meets Breaking Bad. She is the one who knocks. Jane Seymour reprised her Emmy-nominated role for the new video and she was joined by several of her former costars including Joe Lando, Jonelle Allen and Chad Allen. We're getting some serious 1990s nostalgia over here! Dr. Quinn was known for using morphine—hey, it was the mid-1800s after all—so what happens when all the townsfolk become addicts? She slaps on a pair of Walter White-esque glasses and embraces her new drug lord persona, as TV characters are known to do. The original Dr. Quinn,...

The Midnight Hour (1985)
Written by: William Bleich
Directed by: Jack Bender
Cast: Shari Belafonte Harper (Melissa), Lee Montgomery (Phil), Jonna Lee (Sandy), LeVar Burton (Vinnie), Peter DeLuise (Mitch), Deedee Pfeiffer (Mary), Jonelle Allen (Lucinda Cavender), Kevin McCarthy (Judge Crandall), Dick Van Patten (Martin Grenville)
This is the very first time I’ve featured a TV movie on any of my reviews. I’m really surprised that it is. Some solid entries in the annals of horror and sci fi history made their debut on the small screen. “Salem’s Lot” is the first one to come to mind. Although the film that I’m going to talk about isn’t even remotely close to being anything like “Salem’s Lot” (except for having vampires), it does come from a bygone era where things might have been a little tighter on what could be shown on TV.

Jonelle Allen played Lucinda in the fondly remembered ABC television horror comedy "The Midnight Hour". The Midnight Hour had a huge cast of up and coming or well known actors inlcuding Shari Belafonte (daughter of the legendary Harry Belafonte), Lee Montgomery (Burnt Offerings), LeVar Burton (Ali), Peter DeLuise (Children of the Night), Dedee Pfeiffer (Vamp), Jonna Lee (Making the Grade), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), Cindy Morgan (Tron) and Dick Van Patten (Westworld). Amidst that huge cast lineup, Jonelle Allen stood out. Even if she was simply standing still, she filled the screen with her presence. Her performance in The Midnight Hour was equal parts mysterious, seductive and just downright fun! We took a moment with Jonelle Allen to look back on The Midnight Hour. Here's what she had to say.
