Interesting facts

Fear No Evil is a 1969 American made-for-television horror thriller film directed by Paul Wendkos and starring Louis Jourdan as David Sorrell, a psychologist and authority on the occult who becomes involved in supernatural investigations. Wilfrid Hyde-White appears as Sorrell's mentor, Harry Snowden. Originally broadcast on March 3, 1969 as NBC's first "Movie of the Week", Fear No Evil was a pilot for a proposed television series. It performed well enough in the ratings for the network to commission a sequel television film, Ritual of Evil (1970), but it never became a series.

Production

The Fear No Evil project was approved by the NBC programming executive Mort Werner, and the veteran film writer Guy Endore was signed on to write the story, but Endore was unable to finish the assignment and it was passed on to Richard Alan Simmons instead. Despite this, Endore received a screen credit for "story".
