    1 9 7 3 – 1 9 7 4 (Australia)
    26 x 30 minute episodes

    This Australian-produced thriller/horror anthology series comprised 26 self-contained sinister half-hour stories of ghosts, monsters, witchcraft and other supernatural wonders, usually with a twist ending.

    Standout episodes included Campaign ’20 in which a presidential candidate in the 2020 (the far future at the time!) elections uses a time machine to go back to 1972 to try and prevent his political opponent from ever being born and They which featured a gang of children doing battle with an expert on over-population for control of his son.

    As well as a veritable who’s-who of Aussie actors, many episodes featured a big international name to ensure sales overseas (particularly America) with guest stars including Darren McGavin, Leslie Nielsen, Ray Walston, Kim Hunter,  Robert Lansing and Noel Harrison.

    The series was hosted by Anthony Quayle who appeared at the start and end of every episode, setting up the action, and then discussing how “there is a touch of evil in all of us,” at the closing.
