In 1961, there was a summer replacement series called "Great Ghost Tales" that ran for 13 episodes.

The episode called "The Wendigo" was the scariest thing I have ever seen or could imagine. The show was live, there are no tapes. I was 11, but people who watched that episode still remember it.

I saw it still remember it. Also one or two other episodes I remember. One I think was called the “Monkey’s Paw”

Careful. You may have a touch of the wendigo psychosis.

Back in the day, ‘Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things’ was true horror. Watched it again. Too much fluff and overacting. Gotta wait for the end.
