Imagine a deliciously evil series of psychological thrillers, each one more spellbinding than the last. Imagine the most colorful locations that Europe has to offer. Imagine the finest actors in the world--Nicol Williamso... more »n, Sir Michael Gordon, Marisa Berenson, Ian Richardson, Ian Holm, Tuesday Weld, Edward Fox and others--all banding together to create these dramas which stand alone as mini-masterpieces of intrigue. If you can imagine all that, then you've imagined the 12 titles of Chillers.« less
OMG...when you get to the Chickens (CAFO) episode, your mind will be altered and irreversibly changed. That episode even has a recurring song with it. This was a short run anthology series. And Anthony Perkins does well hosting. Been on the keeper shelf for many years.

A similar anthology program from the early '90s, based on Ray Bradbury stories and hosted by the author, is THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER. This great box set contains all 65 episodes of that unusual series."
A collectors must.

MUCH better than I expected. Some good fun stuff--and Perkins is a delight as the host. The transfers are technically exellent. Recommended!"

"These episodes were produced and acted well, but the story lines are really kind of lame. Really a little boring."

"A VERY GOOD SERIES WITH ANTHONY PERKINS AS THE HOST. THE STORIES VARY, AND SOME ARE A LITTLE HUMOROUS. A NICE ADDITION TO ANYONES COLLECTION."
