Or for those who just prefer horror-lite.  Fantastic performances from the entire cast.  Grace Zabriskie, Bernard Fox, John Fujioka, and more, chew up the scenery and keep right up with Knotts and Conway&#8217;s antics.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course it has its flaws.  It is a product of its time and features negative and insulting stereotypes that both masquerade as &#8220;humor&#8221; and are overt.  Still, it&#8217;s an enjoyable watch and a film that I revisit periodically.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a>&#8220;Beware the Wookalar!&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"mojodawn\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"The%20Private%20Eyes%20%281980%29%20-%20Film\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Private Eyes&#8221; Day 18 of the 31-Days of Horror For more information follow this link.
