Boris Karloff's THRILLER

[argytunes]

I admit there's a reluctance from a few distributors to resurrect black and white programs---but I'd love to see a few of the episodes of Boris Karloff's THRILLER! The show ran for 2 seasons (1960 & 1961) on NBC. There were some real chills...not to mention some well-known actors (including Mr. Karloff) connected with the program.

Does anybody know who has the broadcast rights to this? Or if the show will ever be released on DVD?

I stumbled onto this website.
But since I have never ordered anything fom there, I can't vouch for the quality of the dvds.

Gotta agree with you. It was a great series.

In the 80s, the Bay Area's then rather quirky independent station KOFY TV20 did occasional retro-TV weekends, and dug up some obscure programming - including Thriller.. I was surprised at how well done they were...the two that were aired in any case.

One 1961 episode featured a somewhat familiar looking young co-ed (attractive but with a prominent nose) in the first scence or two As I remember, she doesn't survive long. I waited for the end-credits so I could find out who it was...it turned out to be Marlo Thomas pre- nose-job. The resemblance to "Daddy" was more apparent.
