We were not allowed to watch anything remotely supernatural in our house. I
lucked out with Dark Shadows as by the time Barnabas showed up my mother was
addicted to the show too. I had to watch OL on the sly, and rarely saw an
entire episode. The one time I did my parents were using an electric brush
clearer in the far back yard and I was supposed to stay in the house. I was
watching tv in the upstairs and could clearly see them both from my window.
Seattle programming back in the 60s was like Alaska was in the 70s and even 80s.
If something didn't show up they would put on something lying around, and in
this case the news didn't make it. They put on the mutant with warren oates and
the parents stayed outside long enough for me to see the whole episode. I didnt
see a complete episode again until they put it on cable in the 80s. Then I
bought the first season. I think it crawled out of the woodwork won some sort of
nebula award or something. The next season the special effects team must have
run out of money. I remember one where the ghost looked like a hand in a pair
of panty hose. The same thing happened on kolchak. the new outer limits isnt
nearly as good. I hope they put out a good print of thriller someday. you can
buy from private people but they arent that great. There was a man on ebay that
sold vhs of the show he had made. Saw pigeons from hell the first time that way.
