Circle of Fear (1972–1973)
7/10

This is one show I hope they would bring back just so I can relive my childhood. As an 8 year old I remember it would be on Friday night at 9 on NBC. It would start out with that haunting opening theme. I still feel uncomfortable when next to heavy set men in beards.

This show came out during a time when scary and genre was in. It competed with the likes of the Night Stalker, Night Gallery and the Sixth Sense, not to mention all the re-runs of some other shows such as Twighlight Zone, Outer Limits and Boris Karlofffs Thriller.

In season two the show became known as Circle of Fear I believe because of the untimely death of Sebastian Cabot. There are some episodes that are not listed. One title I remember specifically was Night of the Toad which told the story about a lady that was being tormented by a satanic cult. I can't recall how it ended which is another reason why I hope they bring it back, even for a short time.

I felt that this show did not rank second to any of the ones I already mentioned. I was mad when they canceled the show-and relieved.
