Celebrating the classic series
For two seasons and over sixty episodes, horror icon Boris Karloff invited television audiences to enjoy captivating tales of suspense, murder, and relentless terror as host of the 1960s anthology series âThriller.â Featuring stories from such master storytellers as Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Bloch, Cornell Woolrich and starring a galaxy of classic television stars from the 1960s and 1970s, âThrillerâ was dubbed by Stephen King as âthe best horror series ever put on TV.â
Now, Image Entertainment proudly announces a tribute to a television legend with the August 31st release of âThriller: The Complete Seriesâ 14-DVD Deluxe Box Set. All 67 unforgettable episodes have been remastered, and are presented uncut for the first time since their original broadcasts!
