Night Gallery
''Night Gallery'' is an American anthology television series that aired on NBC from December 16, 1970, to May 27, 1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre. Rod Serling, who had gained fame from an earlier series, ''The Twilight Zone'', served both as the on-air host of ''Night Gallery'' and as a major contributor of scripts, although he did not have the same control of content and tone as he had on ''The Twilight Zone''. Serling viewed ''Night Gallery'' as a logical extension of ''The Twilight Zone'', but while both series shared an interest in thought-provoking dark fantasy, more of ''Zone''s offerings were science fiction while ''Night Gallery'' focused on horrors of the supernatural. Format Serling appeared in an art gallery setting as the curator and introduced the macabre tales that made up each episode by unveiling paintings (by artists Thomas J. Wright and Jaroslav "Jerry" Gebr) that depicted the stories. His intro usually was, “Good evening, and welcome to a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
