i have see this movie more than once . it be on par with a lot of the spooky stuff that be be show in television movie back then . the only problem i have be with the title for the obvious reason . one immediately think of the famous snack cake by drake . leave off the first part and hound of hell would have suffice . richard crenna always manage to bring a sense of seriousness to anything he do and anyway whether the plot be good or bad . but this be an enjoyable halloween fare offer by the cbs network . i love the part where crenna take a flight to some obscure country to find the mystic who would help him conquer the evil beast . he ask the cab driver how to find this guy . great dialogue between the native cab driver and crenna in term of the cabby diss his own people ethnic belief . aw and mr. barry and i leave that stuff behind when i come down from the mountain . refer to the mystic who rarely see or advise people and and nobody know how to really contact him . as far a supernatural fare go and this movie be still enjoyable .
