No, this isn't Michael Jackson's
Thriller album, or even the much-wanted-on-DVD Boris Karloff-hosted anthology show from the early '60s. We're talking about the 1973
Thriller series from creator/writer/producer Brian Clemens (
The Avengers), which first aired on the UK's ITV1 and was also seen in the USA on primetime, courtesy of ABC. Now A&E is bringing
Thriller - The Complete Season 1 to DVD!
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.
Those stars mentioned above in A&E's blurb cover the course of the entire 6-season series. Of those, only Donna Mills (
Knot's Landing) will be seen in this 4-DVD
Thriller - The Complete Season 1 set. She'll be joined by Barbara Feldon (
Get Smart), Robert Powell (
Jesus of Nazareth), and Polly Bergen (
Commander-in-Chief). This
September 26th release will cost $79.95 SRP (CA$99.95 SRP in Canada), running 7 hours 11 minutes.
