Thanks for the comments Gerry and Hamicus. Gerry, I took a peek at your site -- very comprehensive coverage -- but didn't read down through the reviews for fear of spoilers. I think I've seen most of these either in first run on TV (which station I can't remember but 1980 is a little early for cable TV even though the box has an A&E logo on it), or by renting those damnable Elvira things.

Were all of the episodes distributed on VHS with the Elvira attachment, or just a selected few?

Good to see that Peter Cushing shows up in at least one episode.
