NIGHT GALLERY with Vincent Price.
Does anyone remember this? It scared the hell out of me. Feet and hands moving across the floor! Great stuff.

I remember that one. It was The Return of the Sorcerer. It is based on a story by the same name written by Clark Ashton Smith.
The other episode Vincent Price was in, Class of 99 was...not really anything memorable, except Brandon deWilde shooting Randolph Mantooth for being nonconformist I guess you could say. I hate to admit it but I kept thinking "Shane! Come back Shane!" :p The first episode The Dead Man was a really good episode. When the doctor's wife goes running to the cemetary to "awaken" her hypnotized lover I did get cold chills. The creepy atmosphere of Algernon Blackwood's The Doll was captured very nicely in the Night Gallery's adaptation. Big Surprise was always a favorite. Probably because it is written by Richard Matheson, a genius in his chosen field. Pickman's Model and Cool Air, neither were as faithful as I might have liked to Lovecraft but both told a nice morbid little tale. Green Fingers stayed with me for years. It is usually one of the first I think of when Night Gallery is mentioned. Lindemann's Catch was another. That whole mermaid thing was creepy. Stop Killing me is just really funny...if you have a slightly dark sense of humour. I'll Never Leave You--Ever is the only episode I can think of that is somewhat scary and not just creepy.

Some of my favourite "scary" TV shows:
Night Gallery Hammer House of Horrors Night Stalker (telemovies and series) Twilight Zone The Outer Limits Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected (although I recently saw an episode that I remember from when I was young, and it hasn't aged well).

The original Outer Limits.
The original OUTER LIMITS was always cool; you got a monster every episode; more than a few scared me ,when I was young. However, the newer OUTER LIMITS also had some very creepy moments. Yes, there was always the obligatory tits and ass, but some of the episodes were almost as good as the original series. Here in central OHIO there was a horror movie host named DR. Creep. He would often show an episode of the original OUTER LIMITS with a classic movie like ATTACT OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE! He was often obviously very buzzed and just the coolest thing a 13 year old could ever hope for. Back on topic, THE OUTER LIMITS from the 60's often scared the crap out of me!

There was something I read once about the original Outer Limits. An episode was not allowed to air because the alien looked too realistic, or something of that nature. I believe Stephen King told the story in Danse Macabre. Anyone know about this? I'd really like to see this episode if this is true. I'm sure the interpretation of a 'realistic' looking alien have changed alot in 45 years.

A haunting on Discovery Channel was kinda scary, not when I watched some of the episodes, but when I thought about them later!! I was glad it came on during the day, I tried to watch one episode one night before going to sleep( we have tivo) and I couldn't get to sleep afterward to save my ass!! My hubby was overseas, he probably would have scared the crap out of me if he were home anyway, worst than the show ever could, ha ha!! Happy Slashing All !!
