Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Sam Spayed I remember this episode very well, even though I was only seven years old when it aired, because of subsequent events (scarred for life!).The reason for the horse growing and terrorizing the couple was fully explained in the story; in enough detail, at least, that a seven-year-old could understand it: The horse was originally one of a pair of toy horses. At some point, its mate was broken and thrown away, and the remaining horse got bigger and bigger, and terrorized people, because it was so upset that its mate was lost.It wasn't that intelligent, however, so if you showed it its reflection in a mirror, it thought its mate had returned, and it calmed down and shrunk to its original size. The couple discovered this accidentally: the horse was chasing them through the house, and it stopped and began to shrink when they stepped in front of a large mirror. The horse had been kept in the mirrored box, so it would think that its mate was always with it and it would stay calm.Wow, I'm actually tearing up a little as I'm writing this.So, the subsequent event: Shortly after we had watched the program, my babysitter accidentally (I'm sure) knocked over and broke one of a set of two wooden horse sculptures that my parents kept on our coffee table. She pretended I(!) had broken it, and waved the other one around saying that it was coming after me because I broke its mate! I was completely terrified. I stayed awake until my parents got home and insisted that they repair the horse that night. They glued the head back on, and peace was restored.

moonspinner55 Despite some great talents on-board (Richard Matheson as director of development, Jimmy Sangster as story consultant and occasional writer, William Castle as executive producer, Sebastian Cabot as host, and a slew of up-and-coming directors at the helm), "Ghost Story" didn't make it in the ratings, and was in fact retitled halfway through its run to "Circle of Fear". Cabot welcomes us as Winston Essex, portly host of the ornately spooky Mansfield House, introducing us to the characters in each week's one-hour episode. It's an anthology series which doesn't have much on "Night Gallery" (which, in turn, had nothing on "The Twilight Zone"). Usually, a married couple is beset with supernatural trouble when either the husband or the wife starts hearing/seeing things, while their respective spouses attempt to stop the madness in its tracks. Some of the trick photography and editing effects in the pilot episode (wherein pregnant Barbara Parkins is hearing things) are actually quite good, though subsequent episodes show a dip in inspiration. Some stories (such as "Concrete Captain") are mercilessly padded to fill time on the clock, while others are over-plotted and fall apart from the weight (as with "The Dead We Leave Behind", concerning a TV set which turns crystal ball). Nice to see this early work from filmmakers such as Richard Donner and Leo Penn, and actors like Jodie Foster, Karen Black, Susan Dey, Gena Rowlands, etc. But taking ideas from the imagination to the printed page--and then onto the television screen--has never been an easy journey, and "Ghost Story" doesn't fulfill expectations.

csqcarol I clearly remember Sebastian Cabot.The three episodes that really stand out in my (very scared) memories are: 1. The one with the captain buried in the cement 2. The one where someone's TV just turned itself on all the time 3. The one starring Meg Foster where she was in a hospital with transplanted eyes. I never could look at her after that without thinking she had freaky eyes! (Google images of her and have a shiver) Was Karen Black ever in one of these shows... with dobermans? OK maybe I'm now remembering FOUR!! I Googled myself... and found this: TV dot com slash ghost-story slash show slash 8806 slash episode_guide dot h t m l Fascinating! Carol

fperez-1 I very much enjoyed watching Circle of Fear. Being only 7 at the time, there was one episode that has stayed with me to date. Thanks to the episode "Dark Vengeance" I still have a small fear of wooden toy horses. The "scary" stuff on TV today does not compare with the horror shows of 70's such as Circle of Fear. I would be overjoyed if copies of these episodes were avaible for purchase.
