Synopsis

Ghost Story is an American television anthology series that aired for one season on NBC from 1972 to 1973. Executive-produced by William Castle, it initially featured supernatural entities such as ghosts, vampires, and witches. By mid-season, low ratings led to a shift -- for the most part -- away from paranormal themes and a title change to Circle of Fear.

preppy-3 I remember watching the entire run of this on TV when I was 10. It only played about 24 episodes or so but I loved it! I distinctly remember a shot of a ghost that almost had me bolting from the room! There's one episode that stands out though. I'm kind of vague on the details however. A woman is pregnant. She's happily married to a man who (I believe) is a guard at a facility that contains reels of old horror movies. Somehow the monsters come out of the movies and appear to the woman yelling, "Give him to me". They basically want her unborn child! I remember covering my eyes a few times during that one. And one of the producers William Castle does a quick cameo. I don't think I'd like to see it now--it probably wouldn't live up to my childhood memories. But I LOVE being scared and that show really did the trick for me...when I was 10! I give it a 7.

elswinger I was probably 8 or 9 when I saw the episode with Martin Sheen and Kim Darby and the toy horse. Man it creeped me out and for the next several years I slept with my head under the covers. It took me a long time to watch another scary movie (I liked Night Gallery but it was nowhere as scary as Circle of Fear/Ghost Story. I don't know why I don't remember any of the other episodes. The descriptions of the episodes sound cool.I agree that another horror anthology would be good, but historically they don

BrentCarleton Despite, typical seventies TV cinematography, marred by over-lighting, and bland paint by numbers art direction, (the show often looks like an episode of "Qunicy"--hardly ideal for supernatural horror--just imagine, ten years earlier it might have had the glorious monochrome of "Boris Karloff's 'Thriller') this program is, nonetheless, unjustly forgotten. I saw it in its original prime time incarnation and though it can't approach the sophistication of Britain's "Journey to the Unknown," and had more duds than hits, several episodes were standouts, and the entire series needs to again see the light of day.The pilot, (entitled, "The New House") aired in March, 1972, and featured Sebastion Cabot as the program's host, grandly swaggering about an old world luxury hotel, as he expounds upon his fondness for the glories of earlier times. He then spots Barbara Parkins, (never more beautiful than here--her close-ups are lovely) the protagonist of the teleplay at hand, seated at the bar, and expresses his doubts as to her future happiness (with good reason as you will soon see!) All this serves as the springboard for her saga--a tale of witchcraft--with elements not unlike "Crowhaven Farm". This episode, despite being marred by some excessive lovey-dovey dialog between Parkins and on screen husband David Birney, is effectively rendered, and surprises in the power of its extremely bleak denouement.The show changed its title to "Circle of Fear" in Jan. 1973, though the stories continued to be supernatural in character. Amongst the better "Circle of Fear"s were:1) Still lovely Eleanor Parker's riveting performance as a tortured mother in a splendid yarn of spectral siblings, "Half a Death" written by the accomplished Henry Slesar.2) The Janet Leigh episode, "Death's Head" which contains a deliciously foreboding visit to a seaside carnival gypsy, who later turns up in a woozy nightmare sequence.3) The story depicting Martin Sheen and Kim Darby as newlyweds coping with a malefic toy horse.4) The always superb Shirley Knight, (in an outstanding Emmy worthy characterization) as a diffident young typist who finds new meaning in the phrase, "office politics" in "Legion of Demons." This episode is extremely provocative and disturbing in its images and dialog, some of which make it hard to see how it got past the censors--and is arguably the best written of the series.Unfortunately, the series had more bombs than clicks, which may account for its premature demise. Still, tastes vary, and there are doubtless viewers out there who will enjoy the Helen Hayes, Melvynn Douglas, and Tab Hunter episodes as well. As for the trivia-ites, note that the Jody Foster episode features the Samantha and Darren Stevens house from "Bewitched."

Jim-500 I liked this series. The one episode I remember best is "Concrete Captain," where the body of an old sailor is entombed in a block of concrete. He was killed by the grandfather of one of the characters in the story (I think it was a mercy killing) by having a harpoon chucked through his heart. The top of the harpoon still sticks out of the concrete. Then the ghost of the sailor comes back to haunt everyone.I also liked the theme music. I actually recorded it off the TV one night with my first cassette recorder. I still have that tape.When they changed it to "Circle of Fear," I thought it was a mistake. The theme music was dumb, too.
