THEATRE MACABRE 1970 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY

This is a very rare Polish TV series that aired for a short time on US TV in 1971 and was hosted by Christopher Lee.

Severin has brought these to us in the excellent collection entitled "Eurocrypt Of Christopher Lee" and this will conclude all of my reviews from this set.

There were 26 episodes in this series and two are considered lost so we get 24 unique shows that encompass horror, sci-fi, romance, drama and adventure. Many of these have a twist ending and are fairly well done.

There are 12 episodes per disc and because information on any of this is hard to come by I will list this differently than I do when I write about other series.

One disc one the episodes are as follows... FIRST LOVE, THE MAN WHO DEMORALIZED HADLEYBURG, THE TORTURES OF HOPE, MATEO FALCONE, THE VAMPIRE, THE SWASHBUCKLER, THE ACTRESS, THE SYSTEM OF DR. TARR AND PROFESSOR FEATHER, THE RAJAH'S DIAMOND, THE NOSE, TELL TALE HEARTS, MARKHEIM

Disc 2 consists of... THE BARREL ORGAN, THE CANTERVILLE GHOST, A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE, THE HUSBAND UNDER THE BED, PAVONCELLO, SONG OF TRIUMPHANT LOVE, THE POSTMASTER, A TERRIBLY STRANGE BED, THE FATALIST, RESURRECTION OF THE OFFLAND, BOARDED WINDOW

These are tales by such people as Edgar Allen Poe, Ivan Turgenev, Mark Twain, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Ambrose Bierce and many others. It's a unique find and I am glad it has arrived on this beautiful Blu-ray set. ESSENTIAL VIEWING.
