Boris Karloff's Television-series

[Preston]

While on the forum, I noticed at the top of the page an ad announcing dvds for the 1960s TELEVISION series hosted by Boris Karloff. That TV-series was known as THRILLER, an anthology series. In that series was an episode written by Robert Bloch entitled "Yours Truly, Jack The Ripper."

Interesting behind-the-scenes revelation for that episode is that it was later adapted for the TV-series STAR TREK in the episode "Wolf in the Fold." The whole idea is that Jack The Ripper was actually an EXTRATERRESTRIAL!

It was already in the BORIS KARLOFF episode that it was shown that Jack The Ripper is an Extraterrestrial. So I was wondering how the police inspector in the Karloff-series figured out that the serial killer is an Extraterrestrial? Hopefully,Zone Fighter knows, because he usually seems up to snuff about the latest dvds.

i've never cared much for "Thriller" but of course i've seen the ST episode several times. it's kind of interesting to know where it came from.

I watched Thriller as a kid but haven't seen it since. So that's 30 sumpun sumpun years ago. I remember that it sure scared me back then and I still remember the opening credits with the white lines slashing across the screen, even that was creepy.

Wished they still aired those shows instead of TWILIGHT ZONE.Yeah it's good but c'mon we've seen it already!Give us the ones we haven't seen like LIGHTS OUT!!!!!


By the way a local broadcast station here in Chicago airs "flashback" commercials on weekends and one that
pops up regularly is an A-1 commercial starring Boris Karloff.
