andyboy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I remember, when I was about 18, I watched a TV show called Boris Karloff Presents. Boris Karloff, would host the show, and each week, there were, three short subject, horror stories. Same premise as Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The first time I saw it, a horror short called, "A wig for Ms. Venture", scared the heck out of me. From what I remember, the woman wore a wig, and when she took it off, she became a hideous monster. After that, I watch it every week(Friday), until it went off the air. I remember one other episode, I think called, "I want your face", where, a man has a hideous monster face. No one knew him, he stayed hidden. One day he was discovered, and this one newsman, was astounded by the man's face. The newsman, would say to the hideous man, I want your face, got to have your face, over, and over again, day after day. Until one day, woke up, to discover, in horror, he had that mans face. I saw many of these horror classics, but I never remembered the plots. Anyone remember these?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joefilmone Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 You might be thinking about " Thriller" which Karloff hosted and was featured in some of its scarier episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainingviolets21 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I love the old Thriller shows and have the episode you mentioned, but it is called A WIG FOR MISS DEVORE and it starred Patricia Barry as a fortiesh movie star who dons the wig and looks twenty again--the only drawback is once you put it on , you can't take it off or you will turn into a monster. If I am not mistaken NICKELODIAN owns the series~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBSG Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think "Boris Karloff Presents" was the syndication name for "Thriller" which was on TV from 1960-62. Favorite episodes of "Thriller" include: "The Cheaters," a cursed pair of eyeglasses. "Well of Doom," "The Devil's Ticket" "Terror in Teakwood" severed hands "Prisoner in the Mirror" "The Weird Tailor" "The Grim Reaper" haunted painting "What Beckoning Ghost?" "La Strega" "The Incrdible Dr. Markesan," starring Karloff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainingviolets21 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Was Donna Douglas in The Prisoner in the Mirror? Was the story about reflections that pulled you into the mirror? I seem to remember William Shatner, too--or am I way off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBSG Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Donna Douglas and William Shatner were in "The Hungry Glass," which is another good "thriller" episode. Douglas appeared only briefly, as the character whose narcissism began the curse back in the 19th Century. Shatner played the modern guy who is destroyed by the haunted house. "Prisoner in the Mirror" is about the mirror of the magician Cagliostro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redriver Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 "It's a real THRILLER!" This was not a bad show. Some of the stories were mature and intelligent. If anything, I liked it better than Hitchcock. I, also, suspect you saw re-runs of this in the 70's. Karloff died in 1969. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
