"The Hammer House Of Horror"
Hammer Films produced this series of short horror stories for television which premiered on network British TV in 1980, and ran for 13 weeks. I was 14 years old and an avid fan of this show. The stories, the music, even the casts - some well known stars including the great Peter Cushing, Diana Dors and Denholm Elliot were brought onboard to star alongside some up and coming "hopefuls" including Pierce Brosnan - this was simply a flawless show! The episode titles were:

these sound good, i'm waiting for them to come up on my list at blockbuster.com, that's the only complain i have about living in a small mountain town, lack of movie variety... :cry:
unless you count the theatres, but few of the movies they put out interest me enough to pay, so i wait until i can go for free.
what's wrong with hollywood today...americans are increasingly having to go overseas to find a movie worth watching...yay europe!

I think the SciFi channel reran these years back as part of the SciFi Series Collection, which consisted of short run shows. Unfortunately, it hasn't been seen since then. I hope it gets released on DVD one day.
