Leonard Nimoy is a race car driver who can see into the future and who uses his powers to solve crimes!

Seriously, if that’s not enough to get you to watch the 1973 made-for-TV movie Baffled!, then I don’t know what is.  In the film, Nimoy takes a break from racing so that he and a parapsychologist (played by Susan Hampshire) can solve the mystery of the visions that Nimoy is having of a woman in a mansion.  This movie was meant to serve as a pilot and I guess if the series had been picked up, Nimoy would have had weekly visions.  Of course, the movie didn’t lead to a series but Baffled! is still fun in a 70s television sort of way.  Thanks to use of what I like to call “slow mo of doom,” a few of Nimoy’s visions are creepy and the whole thing ends with the promise of future adventures that were sadly never to be.  And it’s a shame because I’ve always wondered what was going on with that couple at the airport!

(I should mention that this is a personal favorite of mine and, as our longtime readers have probably noticed, I share it every Horrorthon.  I’m sharing it earlier than usual this month because, today, I’m having to take my car in to get the driver’s side window repaired.  I have no idea how long I’ll be at the shop but I look forward to watching Baffled when I get back!)

Enjoy Baffled!  Can you solve the mystery before Leonard?
