Product Description:
An international cult phenomenon from television genius Brian Clemens (The Avengers Danger Man) now on DVD for the first time all ten spine-tingling movies from the first season of THRILLER available for your viewing terror.Positively Hitchcockian with a liberal dose of the supernatural nothing is what it seems in each feature length episode of THRILLER. Witches serial killers ghosts con-artists Satanists and terrorists are just some of the villains involved in the outlandish plots the unexpected twists and the even more surprising endings. But it's what you can't see--the sinister atmosphere the almost unbearable tension--that makes this one of television's most terrifyingly enjoyable shows ever. Fear has never been better.Innovative and boundlessly inventive THRILLER boasts a galaxy of American and British stars like Donna Mills Bob Hoskins Patrick Magee Helen Mirren Hayley Mills and Stephen Rea.Season 11.

Not to be confused with the 1960s American anthology series with Boris Karloff, this Thriller is a British anthology program that ran from 1973 to 1976 and the brainchild of writer-producer-director Brian Clemens, best known for The Avengers. A cult favorite in its native country (though frustratingly difficult to see for the last two decades), the show aired briefly in United States through the ABC Mystery Movie, which repackaged the episodes with new introductions and titles.
Though A&E's boxed set packaging presents Thriller as a horror classic, the ten stories (each running 65 minutes) presented in the Season One set lean more heavily towards suspense in the Alfred Hitchcock Presents vein, though some stories feature distinct supernatural elements: "Spell of Evil" has Diane Cilento as a witch preying on widowed businessman Edward De Souza, while "Someone at the Top of the Stairs" stars Donna Mills (Knots Landing) and Judy Carne as tourists in a boarding house with a terrible secret, and "A Place to Die" addresses pagan rituals. The rest of the episodes generate their chills from distinctly human subjects: "Lady Killer" pits cold-blooded con men Robert Powell and The Avengers' Linda Thorson against naive Barbara Feldon (Get Smart), while "The Colour of Blood" has an attorney's secretary mistake an escaped serial killer for a client. Uniformly well-acted by a solid cast of British and American talent, Thriller: Season One is a taut ten-pack of television frights, delivered with class and skill by Clemens and a talented group of directors. The four-disc set features interviews with Clemens and directors Shaun O'Riordan and John Cooper; Clemens also provides amusingly morbid introductions to each episode à la Hitchcock. --Paul Gaita

WHY HAS SEASON 2 NOT BEEN RELEASED? THE PRICE IS TERRIBLE-79.99-WHICH IS PROBABLY THE REASON? THATS CRAZY BUT THE SERIES ITSELF IS A WONDERFUL FLASHBACK.
IF THEY LOWERED THE PRICE PEOPLE WOULD FIND THIS SERIES.

My husband and I are long-time fans of Alfred Hitchcock, Night Gallery and the original Twilight Zone series, and thought based on promotional data and reviews that this would be right up our alley. Unfortunately, we found this show lives a few alleys over and it's not in a great neighborhood. I'll use one of the episodes as an example -- the episode featuring Donna Mills and Judy Carne as roommates in a creepy house with a "secret." First of all, the secret isn't hard to cypher out after a few ... Read More

This series has a nostalgic sway over those of us who stayed up late in the 70s and 80s to watch these. Others may find it all a little creaky, at least the shows in this first set. Stories like The Eyes Have It, which were once really frightening, now seem quaint. Others are a little dull - especially those with imported American stars. Still, there's a lot to enjoy here. The nature of the video taping gives you the sense you're seeing West End stage thrillers of the era, with delicious star ... Read More

Why do TV companies do this!, they release one season, you buy it then months later they release the complete box set. Now the only option left open to me if I wish to purchase all the stories (which I do) is to buy the box set.
OK rant over, but I'm still annoyed.
The Avengers is Brian Clemens most famous work, but some of his best stories are to be found in this Anthological show, he created.
Talking about The Avengers Linda Thorson(Tara King) has a part in the first story; "Lady ... Read More
