The late 1950s and early 1960s were the golden years of horror
television. Anthology series such as Way Out and Great Ghost Tales,
along with certain episodes of Twilight Zone and The Alfred
Hitchcock Hour, were among the shows that consistently frightened a
generation of television viewers. And perhaps the best of them all
was Thriller, hosted by Boris Karloff. In Thriller the horror was
gothic, with a darker, bleaker vision of life than its
contemporaries. The show's origins and troubled history is first
discussed here, followed by biographies of such key figures as
producer William Frye, executive producer Hubbell Robinson, writers
Robert Block and Donald S. Sanford, and Karloff. The episode guide
covers all 67 installments, providing airdate, production credits,
cast, plot synopses and critical evaluations.
