Sven- Gargoyles (1972)

 

Every five hundred years a race of reptilian Gargoyles returns to life.  Apparently they are not compatible with humans, though there seems to be something to the rumor of incubi and sucubi throughout the centuries.  Just as a Dr. Mercer Boley and his daughter Diana show up in the New Mexico desert to see some kind of local kook about some bones, the gargoyles start coming back to life.  They want their bones back.  If only they had left the humans alone until all the eggs had hatched and matured, they would have had a better chance.  Eventually, a bike "gang" is enlisted to help the local constabulary find and defeat the gargoyles.  The head gargoyle and his queen are left alive, and they fly off into the desert night.  The end... ? This is the fourth time Sven has aired this movie, and the fourth time I have seen it.  I couldn't remember exactly how many times he had shown it.  There is a Daredevil reference at one point, but then Danhausen makes an appearance, so that was a new insert.  It was fun seeing him interact with Sven.  There is a comic book team up waiting to happen!  I had forgotten Reeger had sacrificed himself to destroy the eggs.   I have talked about this movie a time or two before, usually around the time Sven has aired it.  It holds up well, really.
