GARGOYLES (1972) - Used VHS

Good old-fashioned horror story. Very much like an H.P. Lovecraft story. Scientist and his daughter happen onto evidence of an ancient race of creatures. They've been waiting for centuries for the right time to overthrow mankind. The gargoyles are holed up in desert canyons and caves. One scene of a gargoyle attacking the car driven by the scientist stuck with me since I was 13 years old! When branches drag against the roof of my car...is it just branches? Stars Cornel Wilde and Jennifer Salt.
