Thriller (a.k.a. Boris Karloff's Thriller)
Host Boris Karloff introducing a mix of macabre horror tales and suspense thrillers.
Each
episode was shot in eerie black and white and sometimes divided
into two or sometimes even three separate tales. Boris Karloff himself
acted in several episodes. The earlier entries lean more towards straight mystery and suspense, while later shows deal directly with horror and the occult. Boris
would set the tone and prime the viewers for frightful and chilling
dramatizations based on the works of some of the era's greatest writers
in the genre—writers like Robert E. Howard, Cornell Woolrich, Richard
Matheson, and Robert Bloch.

Once again, Scott, a series I hadn't heard of before. Sounds deliciously creepy!
