Default Orson Welles Great Mysteries TV Series
Hi All,
I posted looking for this several months ago along with a few other items, I have managed to get most of these but am still looking for the full series of Orson Welles.
The only episoide I have managed to find is 'Death of an old fashioned girl', someone out there must have more episodes (hopefully!!)

I have heard that this series is going to be released on DVD but I heard this 18 months ago and as far as I am aware nothing has happened yet.

I would be greatfull for any help on the above, I do have some shows to trade if anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.

I got the Monkey's Paw years ago, from a trader in Pennsylvania, back in the send your trading list threw the post days, the original recording was from a Texas PBS station (Public Broadcasting Station), it was the only episode she had.

It's a cracking story, I'd love to see more of this series too!, but if you picture quality wise, not great, looks like it's been around, 5th generaton vhs. I've seen a lot worse, haven't we all.

Sounds like a terrific series. When I started diwging into this, I find some of his interest stems from his radio-days and his affection for the more brief story-line's writing discipline.

Didn't this series come from the same production team as Tales of the Unexpected? Also, didn't John Barry's theme for this bear a marked similarity to his Persuaders theme?

A British anthology (I think that's the word) TV series from 1973-1975 has being released on DVD called Thriller. It's supposed to be very good. How long will it be before Orson's Great Mysteries is released?

Thriller - 1973 to 75 UK series and my favourite.
Boris Karloff's Thriller 1960 - 62, another favourite.
The Twilight Zone.
Ghost Story/Circle Of Fear - One of the weakest anthology's.
The Sixth Sense - The other weakest show.
Night Gallery.
Tales From The Crypt.
Tales Of The Unexpected.
Hamer House of Horror.
Hammer House Of Mystery And Suspense.
West County Tales - Am looking for more of this show.
The Outer Limits.
Supernatural - 1977 UK series - not great.
Beasts.
Friday The 13th The Series - Great show and no connection to movies.
Who else out there loves some or all of these series?...
