I actually liked Rod Serling’s 70’s endeavor “Night Gallery.” Similar format to TZ with unrelated vignettes exploring a horror/supernatural suggestion. Some of them were terrifying to me as a kid.
Night Gallery Trilogy of Fear.
The little monster who lost his captive necklace. And then he got tho chefs knife.
That was the one the scared the crap out me.
Thanks for the memory!
Another writer whose work I enjoyed, and quite a few of his stories were tv productions and movies, was Ray Bradbury. The Twilight Zone episode described loosely reminded me of his I Sing the Body Electric .
A similar anthology from the British was Tales of the Unexpected .
I can’t really remember the show, but I’m sure I watched some of them. Because I loved Twilight Zone, so I would have watched Night Gallery. I was out of the country in Japan as my dad was stationed in Tokyo at an Air Force base, so I had missed the first episodes. We returned stateside in 1960. 1970 I was old enough to drive, so watching TV kind of became a more sporadic activity, and we had no machines to record shows to watch later back then. 🙂
