When this program started in 1960, it was the first time I'd ever seen Karloff. I hadn't seen any any of his movies. He was very distingushed looking, yet sinnister at the same time.

@ricardo364 maybe the dvd includes the Spanish dubbing. In Puerto Rico this tv show was shown in Spanish dubbing. Buscalo!

The other anthology series "Insight",that also premiered in 1960,was more toward psychological drama with religious tones in several episodes. That show was in syndication for over 17 years. "Thriller" during Season 1 were stories full of crime and psychological terror. But its second and final season,the show switched formats towards the supernatural and tales of horror and suspense which made the censors scary.

There were other kinds of shows that were similar to "Thriller". In 1960,you had "The Twilight Zone", "One Step Beyond",and "Insight",which were all great anthology shows of the period that were around in 1960. "Thriller",and "One Step Beyond" were part crime noir-mystery/suspense while "The Twilight Zone" was more stories of science fiction and fantasy.

@rayssonation Are there other kinds of black and white that a show in 1960 might have been?

I used to wake up at 5:30 AM every morning to watch this show on Channel 41 when I was about 8 years old! My mom always used to yell at me to sleep longer!

The show ran for two seasons at NBC,and it was very well received in the ratings from 1960 until 1962 that produced 58 episodes,all in classic black and white and was more of the better anthology shows of the early 1960's.

I didnt think I'd enjoy the mystery episodes (or non-horror episodes) but I think 'Late Date' is my favorite episode.

@jsrosa1282 I used to watch Unsolved Mysteries when I was in high school and yes ... Stack was creepy.

The Thriller "The Cheaters" The final scene with Harry Townesby lpvcrcd3,147 views
This is another fondly remembered anthology show from early 1960's network TV. I suppose the studio execs were trying to duplicate the success of another suspense anthology show of the period ("Alfred Hitchcock Presents'). What a shame "Thriller" only lasted two seasons. Couldn't ask for a better host than the late great Mr Karloff!

This was one of the first episodes of the series, originally telecast on October 4, 1960. The series started out as a anthology of psychological and "terror" stories (usually involving murder), and shifted, by early 1961, towards more supernatural and "horror" tales...
