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.

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.

studmuffinoftheyear I have been trying to find out the name of a movie I saw only a few clips of as a child. I remember a woman coming down a staircase in a flowing blue dress or nightgown and the inference in the movie that I got was she was no longer the same woman--I think she was taken over or possessed or something like that--there was a woman and a man I think that realized something was not right about her as she came down the stairs(I may be totally mistaken on this part though). I'm quite sure she had long, dark hair. I also remember a bedroom and a voice saying "I want your baby, give me your baby." This voice is some kind of ghost or something, it's definitely not another living person. I'm not sure what sequence these things happened in as I was only a child and if I recall correctly I was supposed to be in bed and I kept coming out of my room for a drink because the music was creepy and I could hear bits and pieces and was getting scared in my bedroom. I think the woman came down the stairs not long after the bedroom scene though and I think this was all toward the end of the movie. I'm not sure if it was a made for TV movie or a theatrical release being shown on network TV a few years later or a TV show. I've watched tons of old movies trying to come up with which one it was and have had no luck. For years I worried that one day my mom was going to come down the stairs and not be my mom anymore. I really need to know what movie this is--it's been on my mind for over 30 years--so any help out there would be very much appreciated! If it's from this show please give me the episode title if possible. Thank You.

Joe Simiana (panavision-1) In One Episode "Time of Terror" (episode # 1.13) where Alice Ghostley appeared, played a School Teacher who met her demise after trying to reason with half man half bats that awaken after ancient slumber in a small dusty American town, who feed off the locals, I recall a good notable cast in this episode, Effects where exceptional for its day, I recall this was the first time i saw special effect contact lenses used on characters that really shocked me at the time along with voice effects, mind you i was 8 years old, I stayed up to watch it thinking it was going to be funny as the promo showed Alice Ghostley, as we know her usual character roles are comical, Recently the adaptation of this particular episode was the basis of the film Jeepers Creepers (2001)

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."
