Theatre Macabre

Storyline

Christopher Lee hosted this anthology television series originally produced by Film Polski in the tradition of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "Boris Karloff's Thriller". Lee delivers the introduction and conclusion for each half-hour at his imposing and often cheeky best, while the tales themselves - adapted from stories by Poe, Dostoevsky, Ambrose Bierce, Robert Louis Stevenson and Oscar Wilde - are written and/or directed by filmmakers that include Andrzej Zulawski and Academy Award® winner Andrzej Wajda. Dubbed into English and featuring 'additional dialogue' by Jesse Lasky Jr.
