THE VEIL

Two years before "Thriller", Boris Karloff hosted "The Veil", a never-broadcast ten-episode
pilot of a TV horror anthology for the Hal Roach Studios in 1958. Boris also starred in nine of
"The Veil's". This special double-disc set includes all ten 26-minute episodes, directed by
such genre luminaries as George Waggner (The Wolf Man) and Herbert L. Strock
(I Was a Teenage Frankenstein), and starring such familiar faces as Patrick Macnee
(The Avengers), Robert Hardy (Psychomania), Niall MacGinnis (Curse of the Demon),
Clifford Evans (Kiss of the Vampire), Morris Ankrum (Earth vs. the Flying Saucers),
Eve Brent (Gun Girls), and even a young George Hamilton.
