Originally from the Philippines I am a big horror fan both TV and movies(though my tastes have much diversified). Anyways in those days in the 1980s I was watching the following horror anthology shows on Manila TV:<br /><br />Monsters, Hammer House of Horror, Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense, Twilight Zone(80s), Ray Bradbury Theatre. Tales From the Darkside, Darkroom. HItchhiker<br /><br />In the 1970s I used to watch:<br /><br />Night Gallery, Twilight zone(60s rerun), Quinn Martin Tales of the Unexpected.Journey To the Unknown, Ghost Story, Evil Touch<br /><br />As for Brit TV horror, while I started on Hammer House of Horror I just discovered them in the late 90s and early 2000 with Urban Gothic, Thriller, Dead of Night(1972), Supernatural, M.R. James stuff, Ghost stories for Christmas, superantural, West country tales, Shades of Darkness, Worlds beyond, Chiller, Spinechillers,Beasts, Shadows of Fear etc. etc. etc.<br /><br />I also have a very extensive collection of Brit and US TV Horror anthologies(dead of night, with some Italian and Japanese stuff thrown in the mix.<br /><br />Anyways for the topic of British TV horror antholgies I love most of them and consider them storywise superior to the US TV stuff(however some US tv stuff is preety good too).<br /><br />Anyways here is the UK Horror TV shows that I love and rewatch:<br /><br />The Supernatural(1977): WOWS great gothic horror anthology should have been continued. I especially liked Dorabella, the night of the marrionettes and the werewolf eps Great acting.<br /><br />Dead of Night(1972): I am hunting down the lost eps. So far no cigar.Liked the Exorcism ep. Creepy stuff done in the simple low budget way.<br /><br />Urban Gothic: WOW this is what horror should be in the 21st century. Great way to hook up the stories. I especially liked the vamp ep. very funny but also grisly in the end.<br /><br />Hammer House of Horror: The first season was great stuff. Old school hammer horror. The second series got coopted with American actors.<br /><br />Journey into the Unknown: While whimsical, great show. Like it much. The horror is in how well the actors did their job.<br /><br />Thriller: Betweent the US and UK version. I like both and its a hard choice but the UK Thriller seems better acted and creepy too with the color. Love this, most of it is giallo but hey great stuff.<br /><br />M.R. James BBC stuff. I love all of them. I'm a big fan of M.R. James. I think the Beeb did him justice.tetsuohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04726413765553434707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652470563521952606.post-48921298631705916892011-07-12T15:38:35.058-07:002011-07-12T15:38:35.058-07:00Your secret is safe with me... and the 25 others w...Your secret is safe with me... and the 25 others who follow this blog.
