When looking at older television shows, you often jump to the Hitchcocks, the Twilight Zone, to name a couple. This one is often overlooked and is just as good in its own way. Shot in a live theatre style with many Shakespearian actors and actresses, this show feels both like a television show and a good play. Each episode leaves you hanging for 1225 episodes of suspense. I would recommend this show to anybody who likes the horror or sci-fi genres.

Best mystery ever. Gave me something to look forward to after school. Now that I'm middle-age, I still watch reruns and love it even more.

Haunting music, beautifully designed sets and costumes, ensemble cast, atmospheric stories. Perfection. Not recommended for those who don't understand the limitations of a 1960s program filmed live every day. They did incredible work with the resources they had at the time.
