You might have ordered the Thriller series from the 1970s; completely different series. (Why did they have to give it the same name?):mad:

As far as TV, what about the long forgotten "Thriller" episodes. Those were truly frightening! ( La Strega, Pigeons from Hell, etc.)

I love the Boris Karloff Thriller series.

I originally taped them in the early 1980's when they were shown on our PBS station in Beta

Then when the the tapes went bad I retaped them in the mid 90's from the Sci Fi Channel and had to cut the many commercials out.

A few years ago I got a bootleg DVD set whereby the shows were commercial free and recorded off the Scream channel. They were on sale like $75 ( normally $150). The picture quality was between 8.75 & 9. I have been very pleased since the picture was great and the price was right.

The supernatural episodes were very scary for the time.

The ones I liked best were:

The Incredible Doktor Markesan ( with Karloff himself starring)
The Pigeons from Hell
The Hungry Glass
La Strega ( I can still see that frightening witch)
God Grant That She Lye Stille
The Return Of Andrew Bentley
Dark Legacy
The Weird tailor
Terror In Teakwood
The Devil's Ticket
The Grim Reaper
The Premature Burial
The Remarkable Mrs. Hawks
A Wig For Mrs. Devore
Trio For Terror
The Cheaters

Great series. rarely shown though.

I understand that it is coming out in December but not by a bootlegger.

Well I am very hapy with the set I got a few years back.

Thought that I would share this with you.

Have a good evening.:)

[QUOTE=TheWickerFan;863038]I used to watch Ray Bradbury Theater back in the 80s. Unfortunately, the series was kind of cheesy, so it didn't do the great Bradbury stories justice. I'd love to see these stories done again:

The Crowd
The Playground
The Small Assassin
The Wind
The Veldt
The Haunting Of The New
Boys, Raise Giant Mushrooms In Your Cellar!
Mars Is Heaven
Let's Play Poison
Zero Hour

What are your favorite Ray Bradbury stories?

Just received the Ray Bradbury Theatre on DVD- The Entire Series. It has been a while since I have seen them.

However I have just played about 7 of them and so far my favorites are:

The Playground ( with William Shatner)

The banshee ( with Peter O'Toole)

As I advance watching them I am sure that I will have more favorites.

For those of you who were waiting for the Thriller release:

Wonderful! Now all I have to wait for is the third season of Night Gallery.

My fav from that series:
The Banshee...O'Toole was AMAZING

The Crowd: I just recently told my kids this story to creep them out one night...one of my favorites as well

I loved them all dearly but those 2 top the list
