an ATV Presentation |
Horror anthology series made by Hammer Films featuring a variety of guest actors (including many well known artists from the world of cult television) in horror orientated storylines. Only one season was made, although we shall never know if a second season would have been commissioned, had ATV retained it's ITV midlands franchise. The same team went on a few years later to make the inferior Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense features.
