Vern needs a wife...



I've well documented my undying adoration for USA's Up-All-Night, but today's "I wish it was available on DVD" is a non-UAN, but still USA feature. I'm sure that my dad will remember the fantastic "Abducted" starring TV's Dan Haggerty. Grizzly Adams is a mountain man and his son, Vern needs a bride. They live in the fuck-all middle of nowhere so his choices are fairly limited. One day a woman is jogging in the woods, so he kidnaps her. What follows is an hour and a half of her trying to escape and them catching her again. It's pretty awesome.

Dad and I loved this movie when we watched it, and it's not very good sequel, the cleverly titled "Abducted II". We used to talk about it all the time. I couldn't remember the title, so I spent about twenty minutes googing keywords like "jogging kidnapped movie" and "horror jogging forest" until I found it. There's not much about it online, and this above picture of the box was the only image of it I could find. If anyone has a copy of the VHS, let me know.
