Looking for other fans of the show!

How can we get access to the show. I remember this as a child and it was one scary televison program. Classic. Any info is very much appreciated.

Hi Jason:

I had not checked back on this website for awhile. I am glad that I did today, because I am also a fan of the Ghost Story/Circle of Fear series. I just got my 5th copy off of ebay yesterday, Doorway to Death and The Ghost of Potter's Field, and I am going to view it to make sure it is of good quality. I previously found The Summer House and House of Evil from Ebay, but the vhs copies were not of good picture quality. I also found the Graveyard Shift episode on vhs, from MoviesUnlimited, but the picture quality was also poor. I was just a child when they were on, but I remember watching them with my sister and grandmother. Let me know what episodes you have, and other movie interests. I do not know if you will recall "Don't be afraid of the dark", back from the early 70's, it was a movie, along the same lines as Circle of Fear, but I was also able to get a copy of that on vhs, which was a real blast from the past!!

Hi Jason (or others); I remember this series from my teen years and I always enjoyed it. Sort of along the lines of Night Gallery. I'm looking for a bit of information regarding one episode. It's gotten pretty nebulous with the passing years but I'll do the best I can. I want to say the episode was about a couple who are staying in a "house with a history". One of the people may have lived there as a child and had returned after a long absence. I seem to remember one of the characters standing on a second floor landing and looking down into the living room. I think this takes place at night. They are looking down into the dark room and an apparition appears of someone pushing a child in a swing. I don't know if this is supposed to be a replay of an event in the observer's childhood or if they are watching a ghostly re-enactment from a previous owner's childhood... Like I said, pretty nebulous. I MOSTLY remember being totally captivated by the music that was accompanying the apparition of the child being pushed in the swing. I can't remember the music because I only heard it the one time I saw the original episode. But I have to track this down somehow before I can ever hope to die in peace. Does any of the above strike a chord with any of you other fans of the series? I'd appreciate any information you could provide that would Windex the glass through which I view the foggy images within my memory. Thanks for any help.

Cool to see such a growing group of fans. This show was a real influence on me when I was a kid. When I saw the series again in New York City in the mid '80s, I realized that some of my nightmares actually came from parts of this series! They've been kicking around my subconcious for over a decade!

I had been looking high and low for episodes of the series. I had a few on VHS recorded in SLP and tuned in with rabbit ears, so there was a lot of blur, double images, etc. Recently, on Ebay, someone has been offering the ENTIRE series on DVD. I work with video image quality for a living, so I was disappointed by the quality of the image when shown on a large TV. Lots of digitzed artifacts and squarish patterns. But, it was probably from being highly compressed or some other problem. However, it IS the series, and it IS watchable and great to see the episodes I have forgotten. Among the ones I remember best:

THE CONCRETE CAPTAIN (one that gave me nightmares for years)

ALTER EGO where a boy creates a duplicate of himself who tries to drive his kindly teacher insane.

GRAVEYARD SHIFT where ghosts on a haunted movie lot torment John Astin and his wife to take over the soul of her unborn baby. A great cameo by William Castle.

I'll have to join the yahoo group!

This show scared the hell out of me. Mainly the one where that ghost lady appears in the mirror. I was afraid to look in mirrors at night for a long time afterwards. I was sure my mind would produce a ghost for me to see.

Wow, I'm not crazy!! Everybody I know who I ask about this show look at me as if I just got off a spaceship. Some of my earliest memories are of this show, as well as some of my first nightmares that I also carry around with me today. When i wake up and helplessly start thinking scary thoughts many are still images from this show. I must have been only 3 or 4 years old, but I do remember. I would love to see these episodes again.

Hi all,

I grew up watching Circle of Fear. i was around 8 years old when the show was on. I would love to get the show to add to my movie and tv collection. I remember it coming on right after Hee Haw. My mother loved Hee Haw and I would start getting scared when the closing song on Hee Haw was performed. If it had not been for my mother watching Hee Haw, I might not have known about Circle Of fear.
