I have been waiting patiently for this gem to show up, and I stayed up until 4 am last night watching the first disc! The first disc features Brian Keith(family affair fame) who delivers an excellent performance as a man trapped in an iron lung. The twist at the end of this 1 episode is worth the price of the entire DVD collection. The geniuses who produced this show knew precisely what they were doing because it is not easy to scare a viewer. This series always amazes me because it transports me into a terror filled Hitchcockian horror show that is worthy of the master. I'm only up to the episode which features Robert Vaughan,David White, and Walter Mathau in a humdinger of a show!
What's great about it: All ten seasons of this show deserve to be seen because it's that good!
What's not so great: I love the murder episodes. The episodes that are supposed to be somewhat funny usually miss the mark.
