100 YEARS OF HORROR is a 26-episode TV series made in 1996 and featuring the delightful Christopher Lee as host, his sonorous narration exploring the history of horror cinema in the 20th century. Each themed episode contains plentiful clips from the films mentioned along with brief interview footage seemingly culled from other documentaries as well as TV shows and the like.
This episode is entitled GHOSTS and as expected it looks at the subject of ghosts and haunted houses, typically in Hollywood and British cinema although one Italian horror flick, THE GHOST, gets a look in. The scope of this particular instalment is quite narrow with films such as THE UNINVITED and THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE getting plenty of air time while others aren't even mentioned. However, the breadth of interview clips is ever refreshing, particularly from some genius writers including Richard Matheson and Ray Bradbury.
