The best of Thriller equals the best of The Twilight Zone

This TV series, of which I never knew until MeTV started broadcasting episodes, is a sheer delight. As a lifetime fan of The Twilight Zone, a series where I have seen almost all the episodes multiple times, discovering Thriller is like getting a brand new version of TZ, with a whopping 60-plus episodes. Having said that, just like TZ, not every episode of Thriller is a winner. But patience is rewarded. The most chilling stories, like La Strega, are so striking and memorable because of good storytelling, acting, and beautiful black and white cinematography. Even middling episodes can pack a punch. For TZ fans who wish there were still more installments to enjoy that they have never seen before, Thriller is a real pleasure and a valuable find. Get the DVD box set and be transported back to the Golden Age of horror television.

score 9/10
