BORIS KARLOFF'S THRILLER

Episode 5 aired on 10/11/1960 and is entitled Rose's Last Summer and it stars Mary Astor as an actress who is found murdered in the garden of a family she didn't even know, or did she? Good solid murder mystery.
Episode 6 is entitled The Guilty Men and it was broadcast on 10/18/1960 and stars Jay C. Flippen as a man who attempts to run a gangland style operation of drugs, but he does get his just desert in the end. A fine cast also includes Everett Sloane and Frank Silvera.
Episode 7 aired on 10/25/1960 and was the Halloween episode entitled The Purple Room which stars Rip Torn as a man who spends the night in a "haunted" mansion in order to claim an estate. This episode is truely terrifying and must have made the execs at NBC decide to make the show into strictly a horror show in the coming episodes.
This just keeps getting better and better...more coming soon.
