Ah, the book cover as work of art

Next Step Beyond (1978-79) remade this story. Newland returned to direct, but had a paltry budget so the series ending up scrappy, shot on the cheap. Still, the changes made to the tale and Newland's efforts to give NSB at least a *little* 70s horror atmosphere are fascinating. https://t.co/mLN5kWBYZP

With a new producer just a few eps in, Thriller finally comes alive in a story (written/directed by Douglas Heyes) of haunted houses and conmen starring a jittery Rip Torn. Still pacing issues, but this darkly funny Hitchcockian tale suitably honours the Pyscho house set it uses.

Some Helen Hoke-edited anthology covers

Gonna start a run through of Thriller (1960-62) so just pondering one of the best, Boris Karloff, and some favourite performances. Such a versatile actor and by all accounts, a thoroughly decent fellow.

Night Gallery S2 segment 'Brenda' is a good example of how S2 hovered between the great and the struggling in outcomes. It's clunky, overlong and too restrained by TV, but also has interesting things to say about family, identity, the trauma of adolescence ending and loneliness.

'The Case of Mr. Pelham' adapts Anthony Armstrong's short story about a businessman telling a doctor acquaintance he feels he is being slowly, seemingly benignly but *permanently* replaced in his own life by a double. No explanations given in this effective version of the story.

Just thinking about Night Visions, the 2001-02 anthology series hosted by Henry Rollins with actors like Jack Palance, Bridget Fonda, Brian Dennehy (and many others), directors like Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper and Ernest Dickerson - no DVD or streaming release, so largely forgotten.

'The New House' is a solid start to Ghost Story. Cabot's wraparound is delightful, and the main tale of the understandably embittered 200-year old spirit of a woman (hanged for stealing a loaf of bread) seeking a way back into the world is well made and nicely directed by Moxey.
