Brianne (pronounced Brian) O'Neill (Carter) is an artist working in a bar owned by former stunt man Kyle Durham (Markham). One night she meets Justin Price (Granville Van Dusen), a psychologist who runs a crisis hotline. Justin thinks she would be a perfect crisis councilor and convinces her to join his staff. While on duty, she starts getting strange calls from a man calling himself The Barber who claims to have committed heinous crimes against women. As Brianne begins to delve further into the history of the crimes she starts to worry that she may be next. Can she discover the identity of The Barber before he succeeds in killing her?
This made-for-TV thriller, though slow to start has some very suspenseful moments in it. Look for Steve Forrest in the role of a movie star and British actor Julian Fellowes in a small but quirky part as a store clerk. The entire film is available on YouTube, uploaded by Edster73. Part one is above. Though it's never been released on DVD, it can be found on VHS, though copies are rare and can be expensive.
Obscurity factor: 8 (available on YouTube & VHS, hard to find, largely forgotten)

Monte Markham in The Second Hundred Years (1967)
Obscurity factor: 10
Chalk this one up to the "My Mother the Car" list of bizzare sitcom circumstances - Luke Carpenter (a very sexy Markham) is entombed in an avalanche in Alaska in 1900. He's thawed out in 1967 and found to be alive, perfectly preserved as a youthful 33 year old. He's returned to his then 67 year old son (Arthur O'Connell) and 33 year old grandson (also played by Markham) to be re-assimilated into society. Luke finds the changed world difficult to understand which leads to plenty of wacky situations.
This series was developed by Harry Ackerman, who also had a hand in Bewitched, which could account for the premis which is similar to the episodes when Sam would zap up historical figures and show them life in the 20th century. Above is part one of the episode "Little Lady X" which was the third to air in the series. It was uploaded to YouTube by 2nicks.
Obscurity factor: 10 (infrequently aired, not on DVD, would be forgotten if not for YouTube)
