I remember seeing this when I was a kid. Aired on KPTV in Portland Ore. A country estate with a small graveyard. In the graveyard there was an entrance to a Subterranean cavern which housed several altars. Each painted with a large Red letter A. Cult members worshiped Asmodeus. Had a Hammer Film feel to it.
I’ve never been able to track it down. I even tried looking through some of the old schedules ( had a friend that worked at the TV station at one time ). It seems as many of those records were tossed… as were several old tapes/film reels.
I really want to find this film. I hope you can help. – Shawn
There is: Equinox (1970) – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067055/
“Spectre”(1977 TV movie)?
It was a pilot for a TV series from Gene Roddenberry. Here is the full movie from Youtube, you can see an altar with a letter ‘A’ at 1:12.

That’s it. I’m a sound designer and audio post production editor and the second I heard the chant in the cavern I recognized it. Thanks so much.
It’s strange that I saw this on IMDB in the past, but without specific scene photos or the sound I failed to recognize it. Goes to show how movies and shows are processed and remembered by the viewer. Good Lesson.
Good find Livinghead!
Thanks guys! The thing that helped me remember was the name Asmodeus, which as Cotopaxi said was the villain in “Equinox”. If Shawn hadn’t put ‘Asmodeus’ in the desc. I probably would’ve never guessed it.
I too have been haunted by the memory of the somber tolling,”Asmodeus, Oom Hah, Asmodeus, Oom Hah” since I was a kid when I first watched this on Creature Feature! Thank you all for easing my sizzled brain. Now I can watch it endlessly.
