Title: Ghost Story aka Circle of Fear
Post by: Rockshasa on June 07, 2014, 02:25:34 PM
Does anyone remember this TV show from the early 1970's?
I was just happy to discover that they have released it on DVD in a 6 disc set. This is so cool! I can remember watching it as a little kid with my older sister. It was always good for a scare back then. In case anyone's interested you can buy it here:

 The episode with the angry toy horses was cool, and the doppleganger story too.

Yes, this was a great series. The toy horse episode spooked me as a kid, as did one that involved identical twin sisters. One was deceased & tried to lure her sister to the grave. I recall a few others, all quite effective.

I bought the one off Amazon for $42...I've only watched a few episodes, but the quality is absolutely stunning. Even the wife said something. I wonder if there are knock-off sets, something I feared, and why I bought the Amazon set.

Funny you should post about this show.  I was reading about Sebastien Cabot on IMDB & Wikipedia and this was listed. I have never heard of this show and was kind of surprised Mr. French did something on the creepy side. Well.....maybe some would say Family Affair was creepy. Anyhoo...sorry I missed the show.  Sounds interesting. Netflix does not have it. Maybe soon.

Cabot also hosted a highly rated but short lived thriller show called Suspense in 1964. And don't forget his role in The Time Machine.

Sebastien Cabot also played Mr. Pip in the Twilight Zone episode, 'A Nice Place to Visit'. Definitely a very sinister character indeed.

Finally got my boxset the other day. These shows are great stuff! Really liked the one with Jason Robards and the TV set. I'm watching one episode every night before I crash out.
