I honestly believe many shows made years ago are better than many today. These stories are pretty good, and it’s fun seeing all these actors in the roles.
I missed all these TV programs which were shown at night. 50 years ago I worked the night shift and up until I retired so I am now seeing a lot of the old programs that I missed. Thank you You Tube and Winston Essex !
I was born in 1960 and 12 years of age when this aired in 1972. It seems like so very long ago now. I miss those days, so much so, watching all these old shows back home in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up back then, I would watch my mother iron almost daily. Even the bed linens got a good ironing.
Same here: 1960, and raised by a mother widowed in 1963. We thought we had it rough but I'd go back in a second, trading those years for what lies ahead.
I was born in 1964 and I loved these stories although they scared the crap out of me. My favorite was the one about the young couple who moved to the place where the young woman was hung, and her ghost came after the baby.
I remember watching Ghost Story every Friday night! I was 11 yrs old and it really scared me!! They don’t make them like this anymore!! It only proves we don’t need all the blood and gore to creep us out😬
I don't think we need ANY of it. I was 12 in 72 and I preferred it when stories left a lot up to the imagination. I still think stories are better that way...I was always most terrified of what I DIDN'T see.
And all on regular broadcast television! I saw "Trilogy of Terror" as a child, and was traumatized for life...I still can't work up the nerve to watch it again!
Winston Essex is the best these are the greatest shows that I've seen since Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock I can watch them over and over again good work Winston
@@Rosco-P.ColdchainI saw it as a kid in Sydney australia. it really scared me but I loved it. episodes that stick in my mind. one about 2 wooden rockinghorses, another about some sea captain and a rock on the shore, another with a haunted roomwith some woodsman, it was snow and forest when you open the door, a portal to a haunted realm?
I don't mind the blood and guts, I hate all of the sexual content that leaves NOTHING to the imagination. Many, many decent shows are ruined by sex scenes and its all so needless. None of the sex scenes help the story. NOT ONE.
How WONDERFUL. I took a break from my current project (recreating Uncle Bills Apartment from FAMILY AFFAIR tv show, in VR) and who do I find hosting this show but MR FRENCH from FAMILY AFFAIR! How fun! This was great, THANK YOU, On to episode 2!
Oh I love when I find a TV show I've never seen before..and enjoy it..only to discover there are loads of episodes uploaded! Looking forward to watching them all. Thanks for uploading. :)
Thank you so much for uploading this! "The Dead We Leave Behind" is the only episode I really remember, out of a series that I loved so much when I was about 10. The only things I could remember were the creepy television set, and images of the dead hands clawing through the dirt. Now, I've finally gotten to see the episode again after all these years, and can binge on the rest as well! Thanks again!
I saw this episode when I was a kid, and never forgot it, but I always thought it was from Night Gallery. I've been looking for this episode for years. Finding this made my day.
I watched this series when it was originally broadcast on NBC. I was 13 when it premiered. It stayed on the air until 12 days after my 14th birthday. The pilot, through episode 13, went under the title Ghost Story. The late Sebastian Cabot (1918-1977) was the character Winston Essex, the owner of Essex House. He was a peculiar individual, that acted as an erstwhile guide into the world of the unknown, who would provide commentary on the individuals that passed through his dwelling (hotel, rest-stop, refuge) and the effects of the supernatural upon them. With episode 14, the series was retooled to become Circle of Fear. I found the opening sequence for Ghost Story much more otherworldly and unsettling.
I remember my family used to visit my Aunt and Uncle nights this show was on and they wouldn't want us kids to watch it, fearing it would give us nightmares. While they were visiting in the kitchen, we watched it quietly in the living room. Loved it!
I like what you just said. Parents actually caring about what their children watched or was exposed to. Nowadays, parents will let their children watch a rated R movie filled with violence, gore, and raunchy sexuality. I'm glad you had such great parents. I wish other parents were more like this.
@Robert Gardea I'm 55 now and bigger than my Mom, so I'm not scared of her any more... I'm not scared of her any less, but I'm not scared of her any more. Haha.
@@vxy357 Yes. I'm glad I was brought up in a time and family where parents took more notice of what their kids did. it kept me from seeing and doing things I shouldn't have, until I was older. I think it made me a better person. Although, even though I raised my children the same way, they also did a few things like this, I have found out. My son told me that, even though his mother would make him play video games with green blood, he would change it to red when she left the room. Haha. I think all kids do it. part of being a kid. If that's the worst they did, I'm ok.
Look at the quality actors here: Jason Robards Jr. for gosh sakes, screen and stage star, and Stella Stevens, fresh off The Poseidon Adventure? Oh, how I loved TV back in my youth. I wouldn't have it in my home now.
@@ricksmith1087 Totally, I mean TOTALLY, disagree with you!! The Disco era?? Ya gotta be JOKING🙄?? The hard rock?? Yeah, but it's blasé today, and beat (not to mention, they're all dead). Some of the best music, came out, since the new millennium👍!! Delve into it, you'll see what I mean. And I'm 61, before you question.
When i got me first laptop at age 45 i was a complete technical computer numpty. I had it connected to my main tv. I put on the telly one morning still sleepy and started watching a strange but captivating image. The guy on tv was just sitting at the end of a large room staring straight ahead, i couldnt see his face, he looked familiar. It was kinda creepy after a minute as the guy didnt move. I got up to make a coffee and the guy got up too... you guessed it, it was me. I had somehow managed to switch on the cam on the laptop which was at a right angle to me in the corner of my huge living room. It was a bit unnerving and to a lesser extent funny. Ever since then i have taped over every cam on every laptop i have ever owned. I enjoy Stephen King so the idea of machines with malign intelligence watching me has always creeped me out anyways...silly me eh. Thumbs up these vids are great.
LOVE THESE OLD 1970S CHEESEY TV MOVIES. TAKES ME BACK TO MY YOUTH I WAS 8 YEARS OLD IN 1972 ID WATCH MOVIES LIKE THIS EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT LOVE IT THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS VINTAGE TV MOVIE
guess I am the only person who wasn't born in 1960 watching this. I have never seen or heard of this series before, but I really like weird movies and television shows from the 1970s.
I remember watching this on tv when I was young. I was cuddled in the corner with my sister and the girl upstairs. We were scared out of our wits at the end.
I watched those at my grandparents home; the two that freaked me out was the one about the boy in the classroom and the one about the girl and her new "dollhouse";
Also he played a sort of Octogenarian Hippy Guru in a wonderful 80's movie about 'growing up but _not growing old'_ called 'DREAM A LITTLE DREAM' with Corey Feldman and Corey Haim ... Wonderful Movie....
Yes, he played Harmonica. Great actor, great role. Ironically, the last 25 years of his career would be his crowning achievement. Complete with two Oscars, back to back.
Yeah, Robards was usually great in anything he was in, with his distinctive voice. Stevens was also pretty good too, whenever she was able to get a good part. I remember this series being re-run only once during the '90s---I wasn't familiar with it at the time, and only watched a couple of episodes. Pretty good, and creepy too.
Ghost Story, Night Stalker, Sunday Suspense Theater (british)..watching these 70s horror series were some of the best times of my life...not to mention the hammer dracula series, the horror theater series, all in black and white...now we can reminisce and enjoy once again...
I haven't seen this program before which is such a shame. For being made in 1972 (year before I was born) it is unbelievable and very very cool. Thanks for the uploads. There is so many if these series I can't wait to get stuck into. Watching them all. Awesome show!!! I've subscribed too!!
+promiseofanewday +Beth Miletti hey there! i'm quite sincere about *Jason Robards* he's always made me swoon *･｡ﾟ .*(｡•́‿•̀｡)*.*･｡ﾟ i guess that's why they make chocolate, vanilla & sarsaparilla
I was just thinking the very same thing, I don't know where all these shows were all filmed, you know stuff like Quincy etc. but I love the rural parts of it, must be California I guess.
I think that cabin with the pond was used for Drusilla's Pond in "The Waltons" , at Warner Brothers Studios, not far from the "HOLLYWOOD" sign. There's a picture of it here: www.allaboutthewaltons.com/locations.php
I was born in 1960 and never remember watching this show. The one interesting point to mention was that these two, Jason Robards and Stella Stevens, were in a movie called The Ballad of Cable Hogue together - and it was fantastic. My father used to show this film, every semester, to his American Film class at Sierra College in Rocklin California. If you get a chance to watch it you really should... As for this show, well, I will check out a few more episodes before I really give an opinion.
I never even heard of this show. I clicked on this playlist called "The Night Gallery" thinking, stupidly I suppose, that this would be an episode of "Night Gallery". Boy, was I ever disappointed when the video started and, lo and behold, I hear the WRONG theme music. I wish I could find full episodes of the REAL "Night Gallery" to watch free without having to buy a 'boxed set" or whatever.
I love these old Christmas mystery stories, they are one better than the other.Many of them are based on the novels of the magnificent James Montague Rhodes.
Yeah, I would think that they would've shown that she landed on something sharp & it went thru her head or the corner or a table even. Idk though, who knows what you could show on t.v. then!? I know things have changed over the years... always pick apart shows to much though & ya know think like, that couldn't have happened or try to make sense of them, especially when people make dumb choices etc...I think we all do that to some point & I've been trying to tell myself, "ok, it's a show & it wouldn't have or go where it's 'supposed' to if they didn't do these dumb things...& The same w/this,, ya know, they maybe couldn't show graphic things...But I am not even done watching the episode, I saw your comment b4 hand & after her death I was searching something on Google & I came back to agree w/you....lol But I'll see how it progresses, I thought perhaps he twisted her kneck, idk...I have seen men not know their own strength b4, but that's pretty strong....;)
@bubble dream You'd be surprised how often people die from a simple fall which doesn't even break the skin. It happened to Natasha Richardson, it happens even to younger people. In the case of the woman in the film, her brutish husband forcefully threw her down, she handed on a chair during which she likely broke her neck then her head hit the floor HARD.
@Robert Gardea No, it's called having a brutish husband throw you with all his might over a chair and you snap your neck, then your head hits the floor HARD. She wasn't drunk.
+LINDA BROWN a lot of people say that and that's why it was cancelled after 1 season...no one watched it.. it may had been up against one of the more popular shows at the time like mash,emergency,bob newhart show. imdb has this listed as the 28 most popular show (aka circle of fear) www.imdb.com/search/title?sort=moviemeter&title_type=tv_series&year=1972,1972
Particularly in the way nothing is really explained. Why and how are these dead people rising as the undead? I suppose just to take revenge. And why the fingers coming out of the grave? Just because it's creepy?
First time I am seeing this series and I am 89 yrs old. Very interesting! The mind has terrific powers of imagination and rationalisation! Gonna hafta watch more.
Lori N I was a 7 yo kid. I loved the series but it did scare me. Oh, the bittersweet memories of childhood. Honestly, I thought I'd never see this show again. Internet is amazing.
Many thanks. This came during my last year of schooling. I've always remembered the title of this episode and that of the one previewed at the end, which I also recall some crawling, glowing apparition from. What I remembered most from this story was Stella Stevens harping from the TV set. I was quite taken with her in the middle of the discovery years of my adolescence!
Thank you for sharing! I like these older shows, I was born in '75, but I love Twilight Zone & then I recently found Thriller & I was searching under Thriller for perhaps a Ghost story episode or two. I know it sounds 'out there' but I speak w/those who have past on...The older I get the 'gift/curse' seems too develop on it's own..& so it's cool to see the way others seem to view spirits or those who have passed on...Thanks again!
"Wow,What a great movie,They new how to create a real thriller horror movie back then,I have been watching a few of the "Ghost Story" Shows and they are great,Thank-You for sharing these!!!"
Somehow I think vintage movies are better than some of today's crap. I like the dramatic acting along with the music and lighting. I like the fact that they made you use your own imagination as opposed to "seeing" the unknown / monster etc. which to me makes it creepier. No comparison IMHO. Angel from the Bay
2020 and I’m sitting here watching this movie it’s really scary it goes to show how much better the movies were made back then I like this movie it’s giving me chills well made movie the sound of the howling wind makes it all the more scarier . I give it two thumbs up !!! Good flick . Lost but a goodie for sure .

I think this was the best episode ever of Ghost Story!!
Yes, it's a good one 📺
Time of Terror with Patricia Neal was the best 🤘

And all on regular broadcast television! I saw "Trilogy of Terror" as a child, and was traumatized for life...I still can't work up the nerve to watch it again!
people like the new stuff for all the naked women roaming about 2nd gore
Born in 70 so I never got to see this series.. Thanks for letting us watch them.. Love them!!
Stella Stevens was Beautiful. And a good actress too. RIP Stella. Best Wishes to Everyone. Sincerely, Tom
Same to you! Watching for the first time👏👏
Winston Essex is the best these are the greatest shows that I've seen since Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock I can watch them over and over again good work Winston

Love the mix of orchestra and synthesizer music. Extra creepy and suspenseful.
Great show, great actors. . .thanks for uploading this! This is when people knew how to write spooky tales without blood and guts every 10 seconds.
And no CGI bull either.
They still do, keep looking for them, they are out there.

Stella Stevens at 34 years old, What a Beautiful Woman.
Thanks for the Video!
Sad to see Stella Stevens and Carol Lynley two gorgeous beautiful actresses from the 70s who made great movies are no longer with us.
Never heard of this series until today, big fan of the genre/era, thanks very much for uploading.

I thought it was a real fly on my tablet screen.
love your profile photo! I actually tried to clean my pc screen!!! Fantastic!!! I signed up your channel just in regard!!! ;))
I remember watching this on tv when I was young. I was cuddled in the corner with my sister and the girl upstairs. We were scared out of our wits at the end.
That scene with the hands
Coming out of the graves still gives me nightmares
🙂
I watched those at my grandparents home; the two that freaked me out was the one about the boy in the classroom and the one about the girl and her new "dollhouse";
Great satirical use of the Television!
Jason Robbards great dramatic actor
Night gallery is another good one to watch. I grew up watching these 2 and twilight zone. Always enjoyed ghost story.
Night Gallery was my favorite!
wow another vintage zombie movie? love these oldies. thank you for sharing.
Great episode, thanks for posting these classic 70's gems 💎 👍
I love the clicker for the tv. Back when they still "clicked"!
We didn't even have a clicker! Someone had to adjust the dial on the floor set!
I miss any time before 2020!
Only well off people had those old fashioned remotes. Everyone else used their kids to change channels...all 4 of them
I remember the days of having to get off my ass and walk over to the tv to change the channels lol
They don't makem like this anymore , Perfect fair for a cold dark winter's evening !!

@bobbu roberts the man was scared because he realised that he was being helped by the husband of the woman he was having an affair with.
@bobbu roberts yes it was! And you are more than welcome 😊 **
Fast forward to 2024, people can’t let go of their phones.
Thanks for sharing these great old TV shows. Watched this show as a kid back in the 70s. Reality shows aren't as good as these old shows, in my book.
Thanks this brings back Good Memories of my early days when I was about ten in the Early Seventies.
Amazing quality picture!!!
Thoroughly enjoyable. Also loved Sebastian Cabot
I loved his manner of speech. Elegant and classy.
I never even heard of this show. I clicked on this playlist called "The Night Gallery" thinking, stupidly I suppose, that this would be an episode of "Night Gallery". Boy, was I ever disappointed when the video started and, lo and behold, I hear the WRONG theme music.
I wish I could find full episodes of the REAL "Night Gallery" to watch free without having to buy a 'boxed set" or whatever.
I love these old Christmas mystery stories, they are one better than the other.Many of them are based on the novels of the magnificent James Montague Rhodes.
I can't believe she died just from falling on the floor
Yeah, I would think that they would've shown that she landed on something sharp & it went thru her head or the corner or a table even. Idk though, who knows what you could show on t.v. then!? I know things have changed over the years... always pick apart shows to much though & ya know think like, that couldn't have happened or try to make sense of them, especially when people make dumb choices etc...I think we all do that to some point & I've been trying to tell myself, "ok, it's a show & it wouldn't have or go where it's 'supposed' to if they didn't do these dumb things...& The same w/this,, ya know, they maybe couldn't show graphic things...But I am not even done watching the episode, I saw your comment b4 hand & after her death I was searching something on Google & I came back to agree w/you....lol But I'll see how it progresses, I thought perhaps he twisted her kneck, idk...I have seen men not know their own strength b4, but that's pretty strong....;)
One easy way = she hit her head.
@@marsbeads I was about to comme the same thing! 😂
@bubble dream You'd be surprised how often people die from a simple fall which doesn't even break the skin. It happened to Natasha Richardson, it happens even to younger people. In the case of the woman in the film, her brutish husband forcefully threw her down, she handed on a chair during which she likely broke her neck then her head hit the floor HARD.
@Robert Gardea No, it's called having a brutish husband throw you with all his might over a chair and you snap your neck, then your head hits the floor HARD. She wasn't drunk.
I really miss Sebastion Cabot. He was such an excellent actor!
I guess it is implied he killed Tommy too and that he didn't fall from the cliffs.
Oh my, such a sweeter time,
Good example of how TV can really control someone's life.
Never heard of this series until today. It's pretty good.
+LINDA BROWN a lot of people say that and that's why it was cancelled after 1 season...no one watched it.. it may had been up against one of the more popular shows at the time like mash,emergency,bob newhart show.
imdb has this listed as the 28 most popular show (aka circle of fear)
www.imdb.com/search/title?sort=moviemeter&title_type=tv_series&year=1972,1972
Wow, I almost forgot about this series !!! Thanks for the memories !!👍🏽
I don't remember this TV show at all, but wow, famous guest stars!
Very reminiscent of "Night Gallery"
That show also used to make me sit on the edge of my seat, backed into a corner with every light on.
Particularly in the way nothing is really explained. Why and how are these dead people rising as the undead? I suppose just to take revenge. And why the fingers coming out of the grave? Just because it's creepy?
too often night gallery was just plain cheesy.
Love
Yes
First time I am seeing this series and I am 89 yrs old. Very interesting! The mind has terrific powers of imagination and rationalisation! Gonna hafta watch more.
Never heard this show before I born 74 and I. Before my time and thank you for upload
This is a really good episode. I remember seeing it 43 years ago when I was a kid and it really scared me
Lori N me too! lol@43 years ..omg Im old
Lori N I was a 7 yo kid. I loved the series but it did scare me. Oh, the bittersweet memories of childhood. Honestly, I thought I'd never see this show again. Internet is amazing.
+gordy threehorses No, hes still old and disgusting and looks ridiculous with that young girl!
you got the wrong perrson. I didnt comment
Same here. Especially when the hands crawl out of the grave.
Jason is underrated
Reminds me of Humphrey Bogart in physical appearance to a degree.He was Lauren Bacall' s second husband.
I know I am old hat, but I loved the 70s and 80s, now everything is computer animated, we can so that ourselves!!!
funny how she keeps turning it up just to bug him,she just loves to get on his every last nerve lol.
Welsh Simon MANifested as his GUILTY CONSCIENCE.
Thanks for uploading!
“The Norliss Tapes” is tough to beat!!
What horror for tv in the mid to late 70’s!!
i miss the 1970s
Me 2 my growing up years born in 66
I'm so glad I as a kid in the 70's! It as an awesome decade. To think I as just 9 years old when this came out. No wonder it scared me so much!
I was 7 and yes it scared the heck out of me.
I was 12 in 1972... :)
I was twelve and l still love the 70s; it's all retro now, but I'd go back any time.
Many thanks. This came during my last year of schooling. I've always remembered the title of this episode and that of the one previewed at the end, which I also recall some crawling, glowing apparition from. What I remembered most from this story was Stella Stevens harping from the TV set. I was quite taken with her in the middle of the discovery years of my adolescence!
I was so in love with Stella Stevens when I was a kid. I am surprised I never saw this show.
I remember watching this on tv in 1972 when I was 10. The hand scared the piss out of me.
Mr. French!
Thank you for sharing! I like these older shows, I was born in '75, but I love Twilight Zone & then I recently found Thriller & I was searching under Thriller for perhaps a Ghost story episode or two. I know it sounds 'out there' but I speak w/those who have past on...The older I get the 'gift/curse' seems too develop on it's own..& so it's cool to see the way others seem to view spirits or those who have passed on...Thanks again!
Well obviously many people like weird soooooo ☺
"Wow,What a great movie,They new how to create a real thriller horror movie back then,I have been watching a few of the "Ghost Story" Shows and they are great,Thank-You for sharing these!!!"
I was 7yrs old in 1972 when this showing on tv..it scared the crap out me including the night stalker with the creepy vampire loose in Vegas.
Hullo my fellow serpent sssssssssssss ;-)
Thank you for uploading these! I remember them from tv in the 70’s! Scared me as a kid but I loved them!
Damn TH-cam stars even sneak into his house, film the murder, and it's already online for him to watch, with an added remix ending.
Somehow I think vintage movies are better than some of today's crap. I like the dramatic acting along with the music and lighting. I like the fact that they made you use your own imagination as opposed to "seeing" the unknown / monster etc. which to me makes it creepier. No comparison IMHO. Angel from the Bay
You can't beat stuff like this. I'm thinking about starting to watch night gallery too.
2020 and I’m sitting here watching this movie it’s really scary it goes to show how much better the movies were made back then I like this movie it’s giving me chills well made movie the sound of the howling wind makes it all the more scarier . I give it two thumbs up !!! Good flick . Lost but a goodie for sure .
