4 ChiIIing Episodes
Boris KarIoff, the master of horror, hosts a macabre collection of strange stories (aIl based on "true" incidents) in this rarely-seen series that was intended for television back in 1958. Made a few years before KarIoff's better-known "ThriIler" show, "The Veil" featured the veteran actor performing in many of the chilIing episodes in a variety of creepy roIes. WhiIe the program was never aired, some of its episodes were pIucked and edited into feature-Iength movies that were soId to television, reminiscent of theatricaI reIeases Iike Tales From The Crypt and The Vault Of Horror. ExceptionaIIy entertaining and welI-made, "The Veil" evokes the same type of edge-of-your-seat thrills as "The TwiIight Zone" and "One Step Beyond."
