- TriviaTwelve episodes were shot at the Hal Roach Studios in 1959, but never aired at the time because the show failed to be sold to any of the television networks. None of the episodes made were ever shown until released on DVD decades later. As for why the show was unaired back in the 1950s, speculation is that it was because of the financial woes the studio was experiencing. Boris Karloff supposedly claimed he was never paid.

Featured review
Decent enough, shame there weren't more.
This seems to be the original 'weird stories based on factual happenings' series, coming a year previous to the mighty 'One Step Beyond' which used a similar format but did it better. The stories are good but some of the acting is a little wooden, but overall it is quite entertaining. Amazing it has been almost unseen since it was made.
