The Classic Ghosts (Blu-ray)
Virtually unseen since their late-night airings on ABC television in 1973, The Classic Ghosts is a series of five feature-length teleplays, shot live on videotape (in the style of daytime dramas) and meticulously restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Not only do these gothic thrillers showcase an array of celebrated actors, but are notable for having been produced by a primarily female creative team, including producer Jacqueline Babbin (Sybil) and directors Lela Swift (Dark Shadows) and Gloria Monty (Sorority Kill). This two-disc edition includes all five productions: The Haunting of Rosalind, The Screaming Skull, The Deadly Visitor, The House and the Brain, and And the Bones Came Together.
