KOLCHAK The Night Stalker ep 1The VEIL
Horror legend Boris Karloff hosted and performed in this never-aired anthology series. Each program opened with the camera entering through a huge archway, pulling in on Karloff who’s seated and reading by an oversized, blazing fireplace. Karloff stands before the flames and says, “Good evening. Tonight, I’m going to tell you another strange and unusual story of the unexplainable which lies behind The Veil”. The series was created and produced by Frank P. Bibas, who had worked in television and film since 1950. He had an interest in the supernatural and decided that the supposed “true” stories of the paranormal he’d come across would make for a great series. The show was made for Hal Roach Studios and filmed on their lot in Culver City, CA.
