The Fillmore Studio that was used in Graveyard Shift starring John and Patty Duke Astin was actually the old Columbia Pictures studio that was for sale at the time. This place is probably long gone, but it make me think that the ghosts of Curly and Shemp could have joined the other ghosts Submitted By: Tim Hall

wow. I wasn't born until 1975 and I have no clue about the tv series that y'all (yeah I'm from Alabama) are talking about, but I know that I would love it! Sorry there's so little info about it anywhere. Submitted By: Jayna

Wow! All your memories are EXEMPLARY. I remember these two shows, but not much about the episodes. I'm sure much would become familiar upon another viewing. The only part I can recall in any episode was one on twin sisters, one having passed on in her youth, and the surviving sister returning to pay her respects at her sister's grave. That's when the she sees her sister's spirit hovering in front of the tombstone! Eerie show. Didn't realize Cabot's participation was so short. I agree, he made a stately host. It aired on Friday nights. TV was generally better then in some ways, 'cause Creature Features and Chiller Theatre was on Saturday nights here in CT then! Cheers, all! Submitted By: Mac P

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I was beginning to think that I had imagined this show! I was about 7 when it aired, and I remember loving the show. I distinctly remember the episode about the twin rocking horses...the only way to get rid of the horse was to show it it's reflection in the mirror. It thought that the reflection was its twin, and it shrunk down (it had gotten really big), and they were able to get rid of it. I also remember the episode about the man who had a tv that would show him the future. He tried to smash it, but it kept working. I have wondered for years what the name of the show was, but couldn't find anyone who remembered it. For my own peace of mind, answer me this...when the show first came on, didn't it have a red and black swirly thing on the screen. I seem to associate that image with this show. Thanks!

I almost thought I imagined the show too, and the episode with the jars that talked. Do anyone know where I could find the theme music? I still remember it. Submitted By: Brian

Thank you kolchak for introducing me to this site! For years I've wanted to see more about this show.It absolutely scared the hell out of me as a kid. It premiered when I was about 10 & if I'm not mistaken I think the pilot/premiere episode was a 2 hour movie.I'll never forget it & would absolutely love to see it again.It totally freaked me out. It was about a brand new house haunted by the particularly nasty ghost of a witch who was hung on that property centuries beforehand.It kept me up that night & many nights afterward! Some of the subsequent episodes were just about as scary.The one about the jars & the one about the TV & the one where the people back to life after being buried in the barn are particularly memorable to me.Oh,the death's head moth one too. And yeah,it did start with that "red & black swirling stuff". God I'd love to get my hands on tapes of this great show! Did anyone ever find a source? -Jim Submitted By: samhain61

I remember it too. I was a pre-teen at the time and used to watch it right after I got home from little-league bowling on friday nights. I wonder if a letter writing campaign to the SciFi channel would do any good? ....considering they've shown practically everything else. Submitted By: Fright Guy

I was probably 8 or 9 when I saw these shows. I didn't see many, but the ones I remember are vivid: the death's-head moth; At the Cradle Foot - which began with a haunting slow-motion dream sequence in which a father is riding on a merry-go-round on the horse behind his daughter and watches her get shot and fall off the ride; and I think I remember one with Vincent Price where he was sending messages to people telepathically. Anyway, I'd love to see these again, too. Submitted By: bob willoughby

Yeah, that episode about the twin toy horses (I believe they were pull toys on wheels)gave me the creeps as a kid. I also seem to remember an episode about a scientist that brought back a prehistoric sea serpent. A vague memory of a speedboat towing a huge side of meat as bait for it. Also an episode of a parrot that kept saying "Gee, you have shifty eyes!" to this guy that killed its owner. Were these episodes from this series or am I remembering some other one?

WOW, I can't believe I found this! I always ask people about this show and nobody remembers it. I especially remember the one about the cookies and the doll house. I was about 9 or 10 when this show aired. Glad I found some people who remember this show, I thought maybe I had remembered the title wrong, but I was right! thanks! Submitted By: Nurky

Yes, like everyone else I am delighted to have found this site and watched it when I was seven (in a country town in Australia when staying with my grandmother!) and have thought about it a lot since then. I especially loved the haunting theme music. My favourite episode was called Cry of the Cougar. There was this beautiful girl in the Mountains of Colorado. Her husband was played I think by Doug McClure (who I suspect was the inspiration for Troy McClure of the Simpsons). Anyway at night she turned into a Cougar and she attacked people and killed them. Finally the husband not knowing her identity tracks the Cougar down and kills it not knowing that it it is her and as she dies in front of him she turns back into her human form. I remember that in her human form she sometimes made a cute sort of cougar like sound and lip movement. Another episode starred Patricia Neal who played a woman lost on a highway. SHe eventually finds a motel resort with lots of other people who are very happy and it's there that she finds out that she has died and has gone to heaven. It was a really wonderful show!

IHAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOREVER!!! Finally, someone know that red and black spriral logo! Does anyone remember or know the name of the movie where there are a bunch of witches and they try to kill this woman because they accuse her of being one? But really, they are witches themselves. I was only a kid, but I remember the end being a man on a horse tying a bow on a baby carriage, I think. I think that is was the same way her dead husband used to tie bows. Submitted By: Traci

I recently purchased the pilot of this series from Video vortex www.video-vortex.com They have it listed as "GHOST STORY - THE NEW HOUSE." I had read about this series in various books but hadn't seen any of the episodes. I was pleasantly surprised with this creepy episode. It's about a couple that move into a new house. They hear strange noises at night. The plot also involves witches. Submitted By: rat pfink
