saw this for the first time around 1982 or so at a movie theater in Kalamazoo MI my friend was managing. got to make my own popcorn in the theaters popper and saw this and Superman for free. how cool is that!!
That's cool & fun whether you were a kid or an adult lol. 🤷♀
Have you ever seen Elvis?
Good times always hang on to us!
Saw this gem at the theater when I was a kid. The sleeping bag scene is worth the price of admission.
I'm 52. I have wondered about this movie, now and again. I just remembered certain parts, somewhat, and I remembered it scared the heck out of me as a little kid. I believe it came on one of our local channels in eastern KY, WV on a Saturday night. Every Sat, late at night, a local station had a program called "Chiller", where they would feature scary movies. Scared me to death. But I couldn't remember the name ir who was in it ir anything.
Thanks for the upload.
Hi 👋 I’m from Maysville Kentucky and lived in barboursville wv for about two years
@jacobshelt01 Hello Jacob, nice to meet you. My dad and stepmom lived in/near Kenova, WV. I wish I could remember exactly where it was. I could probably find it. I do know it was close to Greenland or Dreamland Swimming Pool. I remember that big public swimming pool that we used to go to.
I saw this in a theater when I was 14. Scared me so bad I had nightmares and thought about the sleeping bag scene for MONTHS. At age 59, I had to watch it again to kill those demons. Lol. Amazing how desensitized we become.
This was the 1st movie I went the theater by myself, at the Druid Movie Theatre in Damascus, MD in 1979. I was 12. Great movie.
I love the theme song, and the cool hosts.
CREEPED ME OUT WHEN THIS WAS NEW ... now on CF be able to watch it several times
I was 9 when this movie was shown as television movie of the week. I was horrified and I still love the movie 💕
I saw this in my recommendations and I immediately Subscribed. I remember seeing this movie back then. The 70's and 80's had some of the absolute best horror movies, scary movies, spooky movies, whatever you called them the 70's & 80's had them. From the Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Phantasm, the Hills Have Eyes I & II, Rosemary's Baby, the Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th franchise, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and all of the wild slasher movies that followed. Lastly the most terrifying movie that I ever saw, The Exorcist. The Exorcist was a movie that people, well there's not even a way to accurately describe it except to say that it scared the living 💩💩 out of a LOT of people. Movies made during the 60's, 70's and 80's were usually very well made. Movies back then had heart and soul. The movies were based on CHARACTERS, their Story, etc, while Nowadays movies all have some type of agenda, forced agendas, forced diversity even if it completely alters and makes absolutely no sense to the movie being made. They still force it. Some of the movies back then had a message, but their messages never overshadowed the plot of the movie or the character's story or journey. Nowadays they sacrifice the entertainment of the movie to again push their SJW Agendas. Which is why I and so many other people have decided to start buying more and more movies from the past three decades, 60's, 70's, and 80's, and some 90's and a few 2000's. Honestly over the last 12 months I've bought maybe 5 or 6 new📀Blu-Ray📀 🎬movies🎬 while I have bought or received as a 🎁gift🎁 at least 20-30 movies or television shows from those 3 decades. I used to love those classic TV shows of the 70's and now I've been watching out for the complete 📀📀Blu-Ray📀DVD📀📀 box sets of them. So far I've been able to acquire M*A*S*H, The Odd Couple, SOAP, Barney Miller, Get Smart, the first two seasons of Leave it to Beaver, and a couple of newer shows, CSI(Original), The Big Bang Theory, That 70's Show, House MD, Burn Notice, and White Collar. I'm still trying to find the Complete 📀DVD📀 sets of Adam-12, Emergency, Bewitched, Dragnet, and a couple of others. Point is movies made in the 60's, 70's, and 80's are so much better than anything made nowadays.
Welcome!

"I'd like to see my landlord in the hospital."
"Me, too, but we've got some CEOs first."
i remember watching this movie when i was 15 at the drive in way back then in 1979👍
I was 11 then, and managed to get into the theater unaccompanied, while Mom & little brother went to see something else. Afterward, I was shivering and Mom said she'd never seen me looking so pale. A good 20+ years of nightmares ensued. A few years after that first watch I found a copy of the novel, the reading of which did nothing to assuage the bad dreams. Still one of my favorite flicks.
My dad took a 8 year old me to watch this movie at the theatre. I was scared out of my wits, hiding under the chairs at one point. I had a blast! I couldn’t stop talking about this “amazingly scary movie”.
I always thought this was an early 80s made for tv move
I remember watching it when I was young enough that it scared me. We had a babysitter that night and my sister and I were on the floor in front of the tv and we had a bean bag. Every time the monster showed up, we would hide our heads under the bean bag. 🤣
I was 14. San Jose, Calif.
Coincidentally,I was about to google this movie,to see if it were streaming anywhere. I'll love watching it with you and the crew!
Thinking about this movie 24 hrs ago....prophecy indeed!
CF is on fire lately. Another great.
Ikr
I saw this movie in the theater 1979 with my mother when I was 13 years old. Made me terrified of the woods. Lol. To this very day, I still think about it when camping.
I was 9 when this came out, I'm loving the Friday night offerings lately. Not so much the new intro theme but I love the movies!
I remember being hooked by the radio ad for this. Pretty sure it started with a dramatic voice stating "She is 15 feet tall...", and ending along the lines of "She will find you." Would love to hear that ad again.
There was an advert in the 90s that is love to see again cos it made me shriek with excitement. There was a young guy sitting alone, looking all depressed, saying "I can't get over her.... nothing's been the same since she went away.... we went everywhere together, risked everything...." And then he looked up with a gleam in his eye " got her back, though" and then it showed Lara Croft firing on all cylinders, and it was Tomb Raider 2.
Man, lately you have been drudging up nightmares from my childhood, lol. Saw this when I was way too young and parts of it have lived in my brain and come up now and then.
This movie and Day of the Animals are my two favorite movies. Before their time. Thank you for showing Prophecy.
Yes another Night with Creature Features. To watch another classic movie 🍿🎥👍🏼 Keep Up The Good And Hard Work you all have put together. Thank You Creature Features 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is a great movie everyone
Saw this in the theater in 79, one of my favorite creature features.
Exellent. One of the most underrated monster movies
Awesome movie "The Prophecy". The creature sure is nightmarish. Great show Creature Features!
Thanks creature feature for this I seen this movie at the world theater on Hollywood Blvd one block from Bronson Ave every weekend we were there thanks mom for the memories
Saw this as a kid with my brother. At the theater. Looking forward to this old classic.
Remember watching a trailer for this in the early 80's , the only version available at my local video shop was on betamax , i had vhs player so never got to see it until now , thanks.
Looking forward very much to watching later - thank you Creature Features for all you do! ❤
This was a really cool creature movie. Good cast, scary monster, good jump scares ! xx
This movie horrifed me as I was able to watch it after my parents were asleep on Showtime in 1980 - I was only 10. I wonder if it will hold up :)
Dear sir, Armand Assante is American,born in New York, from an Irish mother and an Italian father, as easy as to look for the information beforehand in wikipedia. On the other hand,this is a great movie!
I grew up in Maine. Katahdin is the name of the tallest mountain in Maine, it runs along the Appalachian mountain range. It was also where a few writers and poets spent some time, like Emerson and Whitman.
I'm from Atlantic Canada, I've been to Mount Katahdin too
I am loving this channel! Some really brilliant selections❤
I remember all those satisfying chain saw fights I used to have with my grandma🤗 I even managed to win a couple👍
Axe vs chainsaw is always a fun fight!
Why would anyone like a comment about someone getting into chainsaw fights with their grandma especially considering there isn't much left of either of us?👃🦻🦶🦵🤳😶😔🤨
@@kk-wh3hb you're the one who made the comment. I liked it because I have a morbid sense of humor.
@@jeffblack1644 she drained most of the gas from my chainsaw before our last fight. Not cool.
Unfortunately or fortunately I don't remember much about it but can no longer stand to watch my favorite movie Scarface, or hold a chainsaw😔
I loved this movie, very underrated!
OK, I am ready for this one! I have not seen it since i was young...eons ago. The Prophecy was in the group with The Entity and The Manatou(?) that I found horrifying.
The Manitou! Great movie and book.
Wish I could find a free site to watch The Entity! Am reading the book and would like to see the movie again. It's hard to find!
@@KarenSchoettlerHave you tried here? Sometimes you can find a full upload here on RUclips and another good place is Tubi. Tubi reminds me of the old style Mom & Pop video stores. 😊
Watching here in Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 This December 13th 2024
It's Man-Bear-Pig! I'm super cereal!
Watched it the first time when i was like 7 years old.Love the movie ever since....I forgot the name of it and was looking 4 it for years...and now i watch it at least once a year...
I've never seen this movie before 🤔 I'm currently about half way through and am really enjoying it lol
reminds me of The Thing especially with Richard Dysart in this
Thank you for showing this. The last time I watched it was on Monstervision in the pre-JBB days.
You were lucky, I'm Canadian and we didn't get a dedicated horror channel until 2001 or so with "SCREAM"...and that only lasted till like 2009
Thank you Creature Features for sharing this fantastic movie. It was very entertaining 👍💫🏆👏
Watched this one when it came out in the Theater in 79, really good film, back then they where kind of promoting the film to be like the Jaws of the woods, and I think it worked, being that JAWS was out a few years earlier, this was a great film to watch on the Big Screen, I was about 14 at the time I saw this and it was pretty scary.
Cool movie. Never seen it before. Great cast! Great Script! The actor who played Isley, Richard Dysart, I recognized from playing Doc Copper in John Carpenter's "The Thing", one of my favorite horror movies of all time. Thanks Creature Features!
He was the bad guy in "Pale Rider" too
@@ShadowSonic2 Good memory! Haven't seen that in a long time. I forgot about Preacher and the villains. Yet another movie I'll have to watch again! Thanks for the reminder! I like the preach softly but carry a big bat part.
In 2006 Japan remembered 50 yrs since the mercury poisoning of Minamata. 900 people have died, 2M have suffered ill health affects. But, by 2001, only 10K people have been compensated. The Chisso chemical company responsible still functions today. Mizuho Bank of Japan is the firm's largest shareholder.
The Dead Kennedys have a song about this...
@Fallingtower969 I liked them but I only ever got to know a certain amount of their catalog. What's its name, so I can go find it?
Sort of close to the topic I'm reminded of REM, on the Life's Rich Pageant album, had a song called Cuyahoga, which I believe was about the Cuyahoga River, which is in Ohio, catching on fire, which did actually happen. I think that incident was in the '60s.
Cool movie, very enjoyable! Thank-you.
TY CF!
💀 Oh HELL yes "Creature Features Family". One of the first eco horror movies from 1979. It also has one of the greatest "kills" in horror history. Beware of sleeping bags!! Enjoy Friday the 13th!!!💯🍕 🍻
I remember seeing the television commercial for this movie when I was 7 years old and it terrified me.
I watched it at that age, not a good idea.
@ 😳
Loved this movie ever since i was a kid
The first time seeing this. It got me good. always a good review for a horror movie
This movie scared the crap out of me when I was 14.
I saw it at 12. Pretty scary, but like Alien, which I also saw
@christianbolt5761 To us children, heck yea it was. Along with Alien. The Alien coming out of his stomach was astonishing.
Excellent film, and very close to the book.
Half man, half bear, half pig, I give you man bear pig😅😅😂
@@robinbranco437 U forgot the most important half. Brian Boytano.
❤ creature features always look forward to watching u show all kinds of movies some good some bad who cares its thumbs up from me
good film , I remember watching it on VHS , have`nt seen it on DVD , but I imagine it is available !
I really enjoyed that. I've passed it up before a few times. But, settled in to watch this through, and was pleasantly surprised.
There are many creatures or cryptids of tale in Northwoods Maine still today. Katahdin is an amazing place here.
I wonder if the 100,000 acres in this story is the one spoke of here as, Chamberlain Lake or the Golden Road. I know that it once was used for logging. But, is now all private property. You can still drive through it with a heavy duty 4wd truck if you pay their fee and do a good deal of paperwork. But, no new camps or cabins can be built there. Most are torn down or just deserted.
Anyways, good movie. Glad I can appreciate it now more that I'm older.
Got this VHS years ago it's a good one figured i better watch this one thank you Happy Holidays have a safe one
I just learned the other month, with all the fresh sea food and shellfish sold on Fisherman's Warf in San Francisco, none of it comes out of SF Bay because of high mercury levels. Mercury washed down the delta from old mining techniques from previous generations☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️.
This is one of my favorite movies thanks💎
Best movie ever made
I don't know if the actor knew or meant to do it, but I had to laugh when he told them they needed to make a "Bear-racade" to keep the bear out. 😅
Awesome movie❤❤❤❤
This movie was filmed in British Columbia at the start of Hollywood North. The orchestra scene near the beginning of the film is in the Orpheum in downtown Vancouver. I was down there last July for a summer concert. It is the home of the VSO, and has probably some of it's members at the time performing the symphony behind the actors.
No what Good moive that mate can't believe I never seen it before nice one ''.🤔👍
I love this channel thx!❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯
I saw this in the theater when I was a kid!
Good adaption of the book-but there is a section of the ending missing. There is a consveration between the lead character and the man who sent him, also the fate of the unborn baby. Thank you for putting this film up.
Great pick! It's like Billy Bob from Showbiz Pizza got rabies! Laugh out loud death scene that has to be seen to be believed, all I'll say is Banana feathers!
My first horror movie in the theater!
Definitely a classic , loved it
I've read the book many years ago but not seen the movie so thankyou 😮
I enjoy the show, and love the fact that tangella is the perfect woman, quiet!!!
I'm a 77 year old American man who lives his life pretending to be a 16 year old Japanese high school girl. Whenever I finish watching one of your shows, I always grab my favorite teddy bear & hide under my bed until tomorrow morning.
@@GregoryHawkins-d2p thats weird, hope you're kidding, wow, lol
Good on ya, mate! Hope you are happy being you!!❤🎉❤🎉
I don't have a teddy bear, but I'll grab a cat and get under some covers!!
Have a wonderful day! 💖
As long as its inside ur house, no problem. But, if you go in public and identify as such it should be condemned. Moreover, don't enter public female toilet.
You a freaky, freaky.😒
@@ronstiles2681on my momma when I read dudes comment I thought I was tweaking, damn cuz I agree with u I hope this guy is joking bcuz if not this dude might need to be looked into
EXCELLENT PRODUCTION
Crow: "Look out, Big Bird!"😅
This is great guys, well done!
Been wanting to see this.
Ran away from the theater the first time the beast appeared. I was 10 yrs old.
You don't need to be the Oracle of Delphi to know that this prophecy will bring some absolute bullshit! But I'm still looking forward to it!

Hey, if the movie is fun and entertaining, then no one really cares for they just want to have a good time.
😂😂😂😂😂 so true!!!
@@mikesilva3868 Silva?
@@fredpagniello3267I was making a joke based on a popular internet video
I got this movie mixed up with Alien when I went to see it with my blind mother when I was ten.
The movie posters were kinda similar and once I had realized my mistake I was already past the face-hugger scene and was invested.
Movies were never the same after that.
The only thing that gets me about this flick is how open-ended they left it with the lady being knocked up and the mutant bear thing still out there.
Sure, I recognized Adrian from Rocky and the dude from the Questor Tapes, but the guy from the paper mill drove me nuts because he was so damn familiar. Imdb solved it. Of course! Copper from The Thing!!! My favorite horror movie -- how could I have missed that!?!
Great show! ❤
The book ended that way,too.
Hi Creature Feature Fam!😊
Hey! 😉
This movie is one of the earliest examples of "Environmental Horror" I can recall. Another is Food of the Gods. Mercury can mess some stuff up but the most dangerous kind is something called Elemental Mercury. That stuff can go right though protective gloves and into your body in seconds and what happens after isn't good.
Happy Friday the 13th everyone
U too!!
Armand Assante is Italian and Irish. Yes he was a big deal in the 70’s and 80’s. I love your show by the way.❤
I cried during Prophecy. I felt sorry for that bear.
fabulous film
Seen this movie at the drive in when it was first released a great flick👍👍👍
Molto interessante. Frankenheimer era uno tosto e di ottima mano. Tema, direi attualissimo. A 1080 , perfetto. 🙏✨🎖️⭐🎥🎞️🎬.Ricordo benissimo la locandina quando uscì sui giornali. 1979. Un pianeta fa. ✨
Even better than I remembered, seeing it the first time in 1980 or so
🎵 " If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise...."🎵
See you in the woods friday night!
Trust me, this movie is no picnic...
This creature is buried some where in my back yard . . . if I only where it is . . .
I saw this film way back in the '80 or '81 at a church youth group Halloween party. Except they couldn't call it a Halloween Party because it was a fundamentalist church where we weren't supposed to celebrate those pagan festivals (including Christmas) because they aren't authorized in the Bible. But our youth leader was a radical young guy who was trying to be hip and cool and thought we needed a fun little break. So I asked this gorgeous crush from school to go with me, but since she had no idea how out of touch our church was with reality, she thought it was a 'normal' Halloween party and dressed up in a really cute clown costume, and since it never even occurred to me to think about such a thing, nor to discuss it with her beforehand, I didn't have a costume when I picked her up, and it was too late to come up with something at the last minute. As it turned out, she was the ONLY one to dress up, and was totally embarrassed the whole time - and I felt like a total idiot. For some unknowable reason, we never went out again. ** This movie has always had a special place in my heart because it reminds me of how totally clueless I was as a teen-aged fundamentalist nerd, and how far I've come in the last fifty years or so. I got the book (used) about the same time; it's still in my collection, and, like the original Jurassic Park novel, fun to go back and re-read when I'm feeling nostalgic. Thanks for the trip back down memory lane! Even if it is painful and humiliating!
@robertleemeyer Ha ha ha! Good story! The young and the clueless, yes. There's an element there that's maybe not universal, but close enough. It sounds like you had several opportunities to take control, and change course. When you first picked her up and she was in costume and you were not, and presumably that's because you knew that it was not a costume party. That was opportunity number 1.
Then when you got there and saw that yes indeed, she WAS the only one in costume, and it should've been obvious that she was embarrassed - cuz wouldn't you be, if YOU were the only one in costume? - you could've turned right around and taken her away from that scene. Opportunity number 2.
And then you were there for some hours, right? It would never have been too late to at least try to mitigate the damage by leaving early. Cuz she obviously did like you, or she wouldn't have gone at all.
My point here, what's really very common I think, is that you felt locked in right from the start. Like it was fate, that you could do nothing about but forge ahead and muddle through, and maybe if you didn't call attention to this gigantic eff up then she wouldn't either, so you kept your mouth shut and got through the evening and OF COURSE she never went out with you again.
Did you ever even ask her out again? You could've manned up and faced her and said Omg I'm so sorry, I know I effed up bad, let me make it up to you please. But I'll bet you didn't. You were both mortified and neither of you ever brought it up again, right?
I'm NOT busting on you. I'm recalling that sense of inevitability and having no idea what to do, so you do nothing, when practically anything would've been better than nothing.
I was never in anything like that specific situation, from your story. But that overall dynamic, of having effed up or even just getting into something effed up and then acting like a deer in the headlights, just freezing up instead of taking charge - I think that's a nearly universal experience from those awkward times. I sure as hell would never want to be a teenager again!
@@JamesThompson-zk1ht Thanks for the comment! And to give you "the rest of the story...", a couple months later on New Year's Eve (1980), I attended a party with my closest friends from school and ended up spending the night parked out front of the host's house listening to one of the girls tearfully telling me how her boyfriend (my best friend at the time) had broken up with her and how miserable and sad and depressed she was ... and on and on ... until 8 in the morning. I had no clue what to say or how to tell her that I was exhausted and needed to go home because my dad had said to be home by midnight. In those days, the word "no" was not in my vocabulary because I was so desperate to be liked. When she finally ran out of steam, I drove home, and my dad met me at the door and said for the first -- and only -- time, "You're grounded!". Which was fine by me, since I had been feeling ill since about 3 am while sitting in the car with that poor girl. Turns out, I had come down with the flu and would spend the next couple days in bed. While on 'holiday'.
But the punchline to the story is that the girl I'd asked to the Halloween party, the girl on whom I had a crush, called me on the phone on that miserable New Year's Day to ask me out, to give me another chance. And I had to say, "No". because I was sick, and I was grounded. I'm not sure she was convinced by what probably sounded like totally lame excuses. She never asked me again, and I never had the courage to ask her, either.
That's probably why I didn't get married til I was thirty.
@@robertleemeyer - I hope your life worked out better later on
@@BlackMaria61 Thanks for the hope! It worked out better once I learned to "communicate". And found someone patient enough to put up with my idiosyncrasies. But that didn't happen til I was 30. I'm a slow learner!!
I'm 59. Saw this at the theater with my 12 year old cousin when I was 14. Scared the Hell outta me and gave me nightmares. Now it seems so cheesy. Thank you for your story. I loved it and can empathize with the teenage YOU. ❤
I saw this at Drive-in in Colorado Springs. Seems like last week. The giant tadpole comes to mind.
Great movie. Thanks Vincent ♥️
It’s gonna be a fantastic Friday the 13th……….. 😈
Nice way to end the year, eh?
@ Janet you vixen I couldn’t have said it better myself. 💯 agreed
@@Nebraska93 :)
main character went on to star in Falcon Crest in the early 1980's. the pilot episode was good but then it rapidly declined into a soap opera centered around a vineyard winery business.
Great movie! Great cast! Greatish director! Thanks! 😆
I haven't seen this one since I was 12 or so. It gave me nightmares, for years.
Just how Hollywood should do plots and film today. Way back when Hollywood is legally allowed to do a bumpie.
Exactly. No originality or decent writers left. The book is very good too.
I remember when there's the writer of The Omen back in 1976. Great movie! Good choice!
Good I like it 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
