    I used to watch this show in 1969 when I was 12 yrs old on my Mom n Dad's black n white Zenith TV in the corner of their bedroom from 10 pm to 11 pm just before my Dad watched the news n went to sleep so he could get up for work the next morning. They had another TV in the living room they watched until Johnny Carson came on after the News at 11 pm, Carson came on at 11:30 pm!!! The things you remember so clearly from youth are amazingly weird, so this is a total blast from the past, seeing what influenced me so very much as a teenager!! I could only remember the beginning music playing in the dark empty amusement park with no one there but the coasters were still rolling!!! That music was sooo cool n haunted my head for my entire life!!! I just lucked up on this opening music tonite for the first time since 1969, n WOW!!! I knew I remembered it from somewhere!!! Thanks for the memory jog!! I couldn't remember the name of the show n no one I ever met or knew could remember it either, until now,. That it was called "Journey To The Unknown"!!!! Awesome!!!

    I simply loved and still do “ Journey to the Unknown “ and, subsequent two episodic movies that were released in the USA. At least one ( if not two episodes) were based upon stories by Charles Beaumont of “ Twilight Zone” original series fame as well as other notable authors and screenwriters. What can I say but thank you so much for this anthology. With “ Hammer “ one can’t go wrong 💝!!!! I also noticed some “ Hammer “ regulars in this series. So nice to revisit a most entertaining, competently written series as this. Again thank you so much. “ Hammer’s House of Horror “ is also on KZread… just FYI.

    I've never seen or heard of this series that only lasted a year, producing 17 episodes (of which this actually is #7, se bottom). I guess the competition was too tough when it comes to horror/fantasy/sci-fi TV series in the late 60s. But I'm going to watch them all if they're here for various reasons. One being this is an American-British co-production between Hammer Films and Fox TV (distr. by ABC in USA and ITV in UK). It was also produced by Anthony Hinds, not only the son of William Hinds (stage name Will Hammer, co-founder of Hammer Productions), but also co-founder of Hammer Films, and the one who ran Hammer during its heyday with Michael Carreras (also a director). Also, I recognize (and appreciate) several of the directors that made some of Hammer's most famous movies, like Peter Sasdy, Roy Ward Baker and Alan Gibson. And the actors are a mix of veterans (Joseph Cotten, Vera Miles, Roddy McDowall, Michael Gough, George Maharis...) and young, up-and-coming actresses like Stefanie Powers, Tracy Reed, Patty Duke and Carol Lynley. And some of the stories/teleplays came from Americans Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch and an uncredited Ray Bradbury. Looking forward to these! //J, Sweden www.imdb.com/title/tt0617049
