It's the MUSIC that brings the memories flooding back for me. That music you used to hear in all 70s TV and movies that had a supernatural theme. You don't hear it these days. I still find it eerie.
Your absolutely right, it's the music I still hear that music like I heard yesterday. I was only 8 and wasn't allowed to watch this or other scary movie or series mom didn't allow it nightmares, but I had older cousins that I would stay over there house and they would let me watch this. They had there own TV and my aunt and uncle weren't aware of what I was watching.
Full of nice laid back easy going friendly folks like Ted Bundy , the I 5 Killer, Son of Sam , The Hillside Strangler, Edwin Kemper, PCP, Aeroplane Glue Addicts everywhere, Teachers padling students, parents allowed to let their children go anywhere unsupervised.

Stunning end!! They made quality series in 70 and 80 without computer special effects. ONly a good script and great acting. Mrs.Janet Leigh a beautiful actress
Only half a dozen years later her daughter started her Scream Queen career in the original Halloween series of movies. The guy who later was on Nightmare on Elm Street playing Freddy Krueger, was a set decorator on Halloween, throwing out bags of Autumn leaves ( as it was filmed in the Spring) to make it look like it was October.
He played a character that was the exact opposite of his real-life personality. He would have had the affair with Janet immediately...before she even got out of the pool.

In fact, I have no cable and watch MeTV and antenna TV a lot. Both channels have classic shows like: Bewitched, ALICE, the Jeffersons, Archie Bunker's Place et al.
I agree.. There are no good sitcoms on anymore or hour long shows from 9-11 on the 3 Major Networks..They stopped showing the Movies of the week a long time ago thank goodness so many are on RUclips for Free for us to enjoy..

Janet stayed skinny a lifetime...so has her daughter Jamie. Rory Calhoun was quite the looker when young. He also had a 60's TV show but I don't recall the name of it. I loved The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond and of course Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Now I can binge on what I didn't see. :o)
@@nancyelliott3653 Psycho, wasn't my first introduction to Janet but she seemed to get thinner as she got older which is the reverse for most of us. lol
@@dadodydo Could be but it could also be genetics. My sister in law is 63 and still skinny so is her 100 yr old mother. So was her 95 yr old grandmother when she passed.
That guy wasn't much of a friend to her husband because they had a quickie affair behind his back. She assumed it was love and continued to carry a torch. That guy didn't make it any easier hanging around them all the time. She got what was coming to her for murder, but I thought it was going to end with her getting revenge on the friend for using her somehow. Still liked this ending though. Now he'll have to be haunted by what he'd seen in the Butterfly for the rest of his life. And the other lesson? You play with dark magic, expect dark outcomes. Great episode and acting by Janet Leigh.
Also digging Carol's pleather vest, mini skirt and go go boot ensemble and Steve's white loafers and matching belt. Sweet 70's style, thank you Winston!
@@cherokeegirl5908 ghost story - bad connection and a movie with a stupid name, the reincarnation of Peter Proud. Where a man was killed by his wife and reincarnated with the memory of his death.
The reason I like to watch these old shows is to see what used to be. Especially in los angeles. They were at the old Ports O Call Village in San Pedro CA. It's been torn down, but they are building a new shopping and dining area in its place.
I love these old episodes of Circle of Fear and Ghost Story! It looks like they may have used part of the same set in this that was used for filming Bewitched. Thanks for the upload.
Janet Leigh! I like this one. Love her green car. Poor Janet. That fluttering noise is creepy. Funny, I always remember Rory Calhoun from his guest starring on Gilligan's Island as the mad hunter. Remember the Creepshow segment where EJ Marshall was terrified of cockroaches?
i was 11 watching circle of fear, Sebastian Cabot , i remember from family affair being the narrator, the one episode that i remember is susan dey, from partridge family , was put behind a brickwall in a basement i believe, . im just glad i can see the show on RUclips now. 😁😁
I remember this well. I was around 9 when this was on NBC. Saturday night, I believe. My uncle Frank and I used to watch it. My fave episode is the one with John Astin as the former horror movie star-turned security guard, haunted by the spectres of the lot he filmed his movies on. William Castle has a guest appearance too.
@@markfaulkner5626 I knew I was in the ballpark! I distinctly remember it being on NBC, with two of my fave episodes being "Graveyard Shift" with John Astin and another about a bunch of hippie artists that found these 6 glass jars in a flat they rented for their artistic ventures, only to be possessed by the jars as they devoured their spirits. Friday nights were also reserved for The Planet Of The Apes TV series, Kolchak The Night Stalker and the CBS Late movie. So many memories from that day, and hard to believe it was nearly 50 years ago out of my life!
@@markfaulkner5626 Other accomplishments in my life at that time? Seeing the world premiere of "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" on ABC as well as Trilogy Of Terror AND Frankenstein:The True Story with Michael Sarrazin as The Monster. Oh and Gargoyles on CBS! Now THERE was a horror movie, as well as Stan Winston's first makeup and FX job too! Those were truly the days!
Thank you so much. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Never seen this series before. Lovely to see the great Janet Leigh in action. Saw her with daughter Jamie few days ago in The Fog. Great entertainment. Will watch the rest of these. Thanks again.
Go to 27:20 and notice the black door. See the top two squares? On the outside, they're wider than they are tall. The guy opens the door and they switch to the interior shot where the two squares are now taller than they are wide and B A N G..............we're back in the Bewitched house again. I wonder how much rent Darrin and Samantha are getting for this place? Seems like everyone lives there now. :)
Also, the panes of glass are missing either side, it's a magic house all right, I think they were practising on our apathy and lack of seeing what's in front of us, and now 2021, Voila! It was worth the effort, we now choose to ignore what we are looking at.🤔😤
I love Janet Leigh. Seeing by the pool made my heart flutter. She looks so good even though she is older. Enter that hairdo and those cloths. You have to put your foot down with those hair and make-up crew. 1973 rocks.
I was young back then and watched them programs they freaked me out TV was good back then ain't that good as when 60s and 70s shows were on circle of fear and night gallery were awesome programs😎👍👍 thanks for the videos👍👍
Janet Leigh=Queen of HorrorBummed they changed the opening & discontinued the Winston Essex character. But story still has the same feeling. So onto Ep 15...
A baby when this aired. But it hasn't changed. Only the materiel it was put on. But it's been transferred onto new computer discs and chips. So it's just as young as ever. Like an Immortal vampire. While I just keep getting older. Some of the players are now dead. Like us all. Sooner or later. Depressing.
As a point of horror film interest or trivia, this episode features Ayn Ruyman in a small but pivotal role. Ms. Ruyman starred in Paul Bartel's bizarre cult classic psychothriller PRIVATE PARTS a year earlier.
Yes and sadly it has come to light, recently, Hitchcock threatened her; he would "ruin her career" if she didn't sleep with himshe agreed he did hurt her career. So 1973, she would be in a slump.
I love all the stars in these. They were wonderful. Not like the crap they spew out today. But the poor tarantula. This is why I had arachnophobia till I was in my 40's. Because Tv shows portrayed them as evil. But with therapy I learned to love spiders. So do not fear tarantulas. I have a curly haired tarantula and she is as laid back as ever. LOL But other than that I am enjoying watching these again. I know I watched them once a couple of years ago, but I have a brain injury that allows me to watch things over and over again (after some time has passed) because I don't remember what happens. lol The good side to an injury. :) Thanks so much for posting!!
I remember the changeover. I guess Sebastian as a host jist wasn't cutting it or something. I remember a lot of these episodes...I was 13 when they aired, and they only lasted one season.
+James Brice ...and when the 'Ghost Story' episodes were rerun under the title 'Circle of Fear', any references to Sebastain Cabot were deleted..NBC merely filled the extra time with more network promos...
Danny Hill It was a pretty good show of its kind. Night Gallery was winding down this same year with episodes that were nowhere near as good as the season before, and the next horror show that I.would be interested in wouldn't begin for almost two years. ..The Night Stalker...but this WAS the era of the great spooky movie of the Week movies that were often so memorable.
+James Brice It was a bad year for anthology series hosts. Cabot got the boot, and Serling felt he had no control of "Gallery" because it wasn't his baby as "TZ" was.
I find this episode absolutely riveting. It's the best of all those I've seen so far. Oh, sure, it has the William Castle shlocky elements, but it all works. Great pacing and suspense, effective musical accompaniment, and a great performance by Janet Leigh, whom I've always thought was another under-rated actress. Her style was very naturalistic and convincing. She had 'acting honesty', by which I mean she had natural talent and not too much (or the wrong kind) of training. I also love how not too much is said; inference and action take the place of too much dialogue, something more contemporary tv horror shows don't do as well. Of course, the film-makers were referencing Janet's role in 'Psycho', (and of course the famous and shocking 'shower scene') but that was a fabulous idea too and they didn't make too close a connection.
I'm a conservative Christian, and I do believe in divorce if necessary. But, people these days give up on their marriages a lot of times, without trying to work things out, which is sad. Either that or they don't take the time to be sure the person is really right for them before getting married.

Saw them at age 10 and rewatching now. Still spooky 😊
Better acted and better put together than todays full budget movies.
God, Its like I'm back on my beanbag chair watching tv with my parents ! LOVIN' IT !!!
In the early 70’s when I watched this I would have been lying on the bean bag! 😂
Remember the Creature from the black lagoon and the Blob? Man they were so scary! 😂
Agreed! It’s crazy seeing this again! Love it.
Wow I must admit being born in 1980 and a fan of Tales from the darkside/Crypt, Twilight Zone and so forth. Man these are awesome!!!!
Tales From the Darkside😂😂😂😂😂 Last Car 😂😂 That show was hilarious
I love that early 2000s one called night visions too. They only made one season though 😩
@@mamadoom9724I forgot about night vision but yeah I watched that
even after decades, it's amazing to see these series in the best quality
its 480p wdym?
What I loved about these shows is that there was an underlying creepy element/not in-your-face fright!!
It had the taste to just set the scene, use the effects of the medium and let the viewer connect the dots and feel the creep.

Yes and sadly it has come to light, recently, Hitchcock threatened her; he would "ruin her career" if she didn't sleep with himshe agreed he did hurt her career. So 1973, she would be in a slump.
@@yaywhewclips242 that was tippy hedren
Yes and so was Tony. But their kid Jamie...
Good episode, thanks!
I love all the stars in these. They were wonderful. Not like the crap they spew out today. But the poor tarantula. This is why I had arachnophobia till I was in my 40's. Because Tv shows portrayed them as evil. But with therapy I learned to love spiders. So do not fear tarantulas. I have a curly haired tarantula and she is as laid back as ever. LOL But other than that I am enjoying watching these again. I know I watched them once a couple of years ago, but I have a brain injury that allows me to watch things over and over again (after some time has passed) because I don't remember what happens. lol The good side to an injury. :) Thanks so much for posting!!
These shows are very compatible with my mind and body
This vaguely rings a bell, I have seen it but was in the mid 1970’s when I was 14 or 15. Wow it’s 2024 and my second time seeing this.
Miss the Winston Essex intro...
I think they axed it so they could squeeze more commercials in.
Glad they kept the "Ghost Story" music, and did anyone notice that one of the coffee cups had the same pattern as in the opening sequence?
I remember the changeover. I guess Sebastian as a host jist wasn't cutting it or something. I remember a lot of these episodes...I was 13 when they aired, and they only lasted one season.
+James Brice Sebastian died of cancer.
+James Brice ...and when the 'Ghost Story' episodes were rerun under the title 'Circle of Fear', any references to Sebastain Cabot were deleted..NBC merely filled the extra time with more network promos...
Danny Hill It was a pretty good show of its kind. Night Gallery was winding down this same year with episodes that were nowhere near as good as the season before, and the next horror show that I.would be interested in wouldn't begin for almost two years. ..The Night Stalker...but this WAS the era of the great spooky movie of the Week movies that were often so memorable.
+James Brice It was a bad year for anthology series hosts. Cabot got the boot, and Serling felt he had no control of "Gallery" because it wasn't his baby as "TZ" was.
The cup she gives her husband has the same logo on it as the show.
Cool I didn't notice I'll look for it now so
And this was the first episode since the change up of the series.
No it isn't, not even close. Sorry!
@@jatigre1 Not the logo but the pattern looks identical.
@@jatigre1 It's Close ..
Dang good yarn! Action with the butterflies & moths wonderful take off "The Birds"! Peace again, 10-Q1
thanks to upload such a nice Series.👍
46 years old looks great on Janet Leigh
Burnt Blonde 46? Omg. I’m 44 and she looks like she could be my mother. 😳
More like 70
Janet Leigh and the original Bates Motel,loved her in that!Showers were never the same!
In the afterlife, if it were that easy, a whole lot of unsolved cases would be solved by now
SPOILER: She really misread her husband's friend. She made a fool of herself and killed her husband for nothing.
True enough, but he made damn sure she DID misread him ... for his own benefit, of course.
That was one good film. Thanks for the upload
after ghost story another great show from the 70's
Hubby dies.... Haunted by his bugs... Time to burn the house down!
Upto 70s. Women wore women's clothes.
I find this episode absolutely riveting. It's the best of all those I've seen so far. Oh, sure, it has the William Castle shlocky elements, but it all works. Great pacing and suspense, effective musical accompaniment, and a great performance by Janet Leigh, whom I've always thought was another under-rated actress. Her style was very naturalistic and convincing. She had 'acting honesty', by which I mean she had natural talent and not too much (or the wrong kind) of training. I also love how not too much is said; inference and action take the place of too much dialogue, something more contemporary tv horror shows don't do as well. Of course, the film-makers were referencing Janet's role in 'Psycho', (and of course the famous and shocking 'shower scene') but that was a fabulous idea too and they didn't make too close a connection.
love it
That Herb Shop has appeared in Ghost Story, that's definitely Seaport Village in San Diego but that shop doesn't exist anymore.
There was one like it in Ports O’Call in San Pedro too! We called it the witchcraft shop.
Thanks for posting.
Spiders, why did it have to be spiders?
Come up! Lots of great things up here. Herbs and medicinals. Potions and elixirs. Insect-root, tanner-root. All things, real and imagined!
i feel sorry for the bugs more than the people
I'm a conservative Christian and don't believe in divorce. And I would divorce him.
Oh it exists, believe me :)
Haha
I'm a conservative Christian, and I do believe in divorce if necessary. But, people these days give up on their marriages a lot of times, without trying to work things out, which is sad. Either that or they don't take the time to be sure the person is really right for them before getting married.
Brooke Singleton Yeah he likes his bugs more.
