Nightmare
1953
Known Episodes: 6 Circulating
The most imitated eerie voice in the land hosts this series of weird, unusual and hair-raising dramatizations, Peter Lorre. Unfortunately out of a full year’s run of about 53 episodes, only six still survive in circulation. The stories are mediocre.

Hybrid, The
