Feb 14 11 6:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My kids are ages 13 and 10 and seem to like the old Thriller series with Karloff hosting. They wanted me to find out the 5 most creepy episodes to watch at night with me. I haven't had a chance to watch many so far...just a few from season 1

A Thriller A Day site for lots of great info on the show: http://athrilleraday.blogspot.com/ Alias the Scarecrow lists several great examples, to which I'd add one of my personal favorites: The Terror in Teakwood.

That would be episode #7 from the first season, THE PURPLE ROOM, and the mask is a pull of Cagney's Phantom of the Opera from MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES. Perry Shields Member, Torrance Theatre Company

Jul 7 12 11:54 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My high five Thrillers: Pigeons From Hell The Incredible Dr. Markesan The Cheaters The Hollow Watcher Parasite Mansion There are many other fine episodes, some non-horror, but these are my five favorites. If you're a fan of black and white and have retro tastes you can't go wrong with any of the five titles I listed.

Jul 9 12 6:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was expecting this thread to be about the 70's long running TV series we had over here in the UK created by Brian Clemens, that was called Thriller too and I know it was aired in the US. I'm guessing this is a different Thriller that we're talking about here? Unless the episodes were given different names?

Jul 9 12 7:06 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yes, this is the American tv series on NBC in the early '60s hosted by (and sometimes starring) Boris Karloff. I know the British Thriller has been seen over here on occasion, but I'm not aware of it ever having been regularly broadcast on any wide basis.

Jul 9 12 8:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I know I'm in a minority but I just love "A Wig for Miss Devore" and the one with a kindly bed and breakfast landlady actually being the goddess Circe. They're both so offbeat, and I appreciate the wit in both. "Wig" does have some creepy over the top FX but I doubt anything in it would scare your kids. They might actually be bored. H.

Sounds good, I'm off to see if it's on dvd.
