- TriviaTwelve episodes were shot at the Hal Roach Studios in 1959, but never aired at the time because the show failed to be sold to any of the television networks. None of the episodes made were ever shown until released on DVD decades later. As for why the show was unaired back in the 1950s, speculation is that it was because of the financial woes the studio was experiencing. Boris Karloff supposedly claimed he was never paid.

Featured review
Boris Karloff hosted(and sometimes acted in) this ten-episode series that dealt with ghosts and psychic phenomenon. Never aired because the studio went bankrupt, this is still an entertaining series, due to the talent Of Boris Karloff, an acting legend. Episodes included titles like: 'Vision Of Crime', 'Girl On The Road', Food On The Table', 'The Doctors', 'The Crystal Ball', 'Genesis', Destination Nightmare', 'Summer Heat', 'The Return Of Madame Verney', & 'Jack The Ripper'.(the best of the bunch). Often overlooked by "Thriller", also hosted by Karloff, this can also be compared to "One Step Beyond", and can be viewed on DVD. Worth seeking out for fans of Boris Karloff.
