Out of the Night
1947
Circulating Episodes: 8
An Australian show about the supernatural with many adaptations of classic spooky short stories. Episodes are only 15 minutes long.
There is an American version said to run a full half-hour, but I have not come across any of these mythical episodes.
Empty Coffin, The
In 1875, an insurance investigator discovers that a coffin holds not a missing husband’s corpse, but scrap metal!
Framing of Paster Quist, The
A man swears revenge when he is brutally rebuked by a woman’s father, the church rector, when he asks for her hand. The body of the rejected man’s brother is soon found buried in the garden, a cut and dry murder rap for the woman’s father. [Adapted from The Rector of Veilbye by Steen Steensen Blicher]
Girl With Two Personalities, The
A young girl wakes believing she is the daughter of a neighbor who died years ago. She knows things only that girl would know. The change lasts only a few days before the girl returns to herself.
