Do you recognize these classic TV stars on the eerie series Thriller?
The anthology series had a killer cast.
When it comes to horror, you can trust the opinion of Stephen King. In his non-fiction book Danse Macabre, the prolific author looked back at the classic anthology shows of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
King singled "Pigeons from Hell" as "one of the finest horror stories of our century." No, that tale was not an episode of The Twilight Zone nor The Outer Limits. It was a 1961 episode of Thriller, the eerie and underrated anthology series hosted by Boris Karloff.
Who better to host a spooky show? The Universal monster movies legend had played both Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein and Imhotep in The Mummy.
Karloff acted in some of the episodes, too. The Thriller cast also included dozens of rising television stars. Let's see if you can recognize them!
