Anyone remember this American TV horror show - on in late 80s on ITV?

Question

Does anyone remember this American horror show? It was shown on TV in the late 80s - I think it was on channel 3 (or ITV1) at 9.00pm? Each episode told a different story. My guess is that it was probably made in the late 70s/early 80s.

I remember very few details but it started by showing forked lightning going across a night sky. A white light would then trace the outline of a man's face, then lightning would flash again and light up the features of the face. It also had creepy synthesiser music.

I remember in one particular episode in which a coach of people ended up stranded in the desert and they send a football player to run off alone to find help.

I'd really like to find out any information about the series - in particular what it was called, and if it's available to buy anywhere?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Remember it very well. It was called Terror in the Night. It was a program I watched where they showed Different Horror flicks such as Frankenstein, The Wolf man, The Blob, Etc. Loved Lon Chaney in some of those movies.

Answer 2

i'm not 100% sure but sounds like may be the creep show? If I remember correctly early series used to be narated by some guy at start but towards end of series was just the episode was shown without narration

Answer 3

The Twilight Zone?

Answer 4

well tales of the unexpected had a music box type music and a girl dancing, so doesn't sound like this, the twilight zone had more of a stars and space and a der, der, der theme, so could be Night Terrors

Answer 5

Twlight Zone or 1001?

Answer 6

I think it is Creepshow. I always loved those movies. There was also one similar to that called Tales from the darkside. Hope this helped.
