The Night Gallery Box Set, the entire first season including the pilot.

The Twilight Zone "In Color" :D :D

I had to watch this in B&W on a 19" RCA portable when it was in first run.

Uhh, no disrespect, you're a moderator & all, but I'm about 100% sure "Twilight Zone" WASN'T in color. Oh wait-yeah, the abortive mid-80s thing was. But there were, what, about a dozen of those shows? -Sandy G.

Night Gallery was just like Twilight Zone, (Rod Serling, same type of show) but it came on back in the late 60s-70s(?) thus it was in color.

I always thought Night Gallery was a bit scarier. That music still freaks me out, whereas the TZ theme is just cool and campy.

Sandy, yes TZ was B&W, guess I should have said "Like" the TZ in color :) Rod Serling even comes out and does an introduction just like TZ.

These are more scary, there is one episode where there is a creature (maybe Satan?) trapped in a well in someones basement, that one scared the Sh** out of me as a kid, watching alone, late at night, :) :) 1970's Horror was awesome, I miss those days.

Oh yeah !! They WERE scary as all get out !! Remember "The Earwig ?" And there was one about this guy who could fake death by a series of raps'n' taps on a sounding board- and the one where this little kid could see the future & the sun was going to go supernova? Yeah, great show-nothing w/that level of imagination could make it nowadays-we just wanna see some bad-comb-overed beauzeau snarling "You're fired !" at hapless folks. Another good show was "Darkroom" from like 1979-80. Kinda in the same vein as "Night Gallery". I think maybe 3 people besides me actually watched it. James Coburn was the host-he's kinda sinister, & made a pretty good surrogate Serling. -Sandy G.
