But everyone agrees that if there are such things as ghosts, they are the souls of dead persons, haunting living persons. And that's what our story is about. Ghosts.Nameless horrors, a nice phrase. But as soon as you put a name and identity to horrors, somehow they prove bearable. In the last century, people have shown that they can and do bear up under mass genocide and atomic bombings.

And the implication is, of course, that if some magical power could grant the plea, how much better things would be handled. Or, at the very least, how differently. But is that a valid concept? Does it follow inevitably that people could or would handle things better a second time around? The almost always misquoted quote by an obscure poet is the theme of tonight's Spine-Tingler.

MarshallEver read this sort of advertisement in the real estate section of the newspaper or their personal columns of a magazine? Young Austrian couple, no children, no pets, would like to exchange their gemütlich alpine chalet for New York apartment two to three months. Please write, etc., etc., etc. If you had read that, would you be tempted to try it? Don't. It could work out nicely, but then again...The advertisement I began to read to you was the actual one that Alec and Moira Grant answered. Moira was interested because Alec was exhausted from overwork and she felt he needed a long vacation. Alec... because they had recently been married and so far had been denied a honeymoon. Outside of these two small concerns, they had nothing in the world to worry them. They were blissfully happy. The gods were good to them. How fortunate. Except it was Byron who said, whom the gods love, die young.Starring: Don Scardino, Jennifer Harmon, Robert Dryden, Joan Shay

After he breaks the ball there are suddenly two murders near by. His wife suspects that her husband has been taken over by an evil spirit. I'm afraid the chairs aren't very comfortable, but that doesn't matter because in just a moment you'll be sitting on the edge of them. For we'll be bringing you the tale of the thing inside. A strange and potent force sealed up and held in check that cried to be released and once it was freed, brought terror and death to a whole countryside. What is evil? Is it abstract or concrete? Does it seek us out, or do we seek it? Either way, there is something in all of us that senses its presence, and when we do, most of us draw back from it in fear. But occasionally, for reasons we do not always understand, we are attracted to it and come under its spell, thus freeing it to work its destruction on an unsuspecting world. Our story begins as John and Sarah Farrar get out of their car and walk towards a rather shabby and rundown antique shop in a small New England village.

Police are on the hunt for the killer before he can kill again.There are people who suddenly find themselves tortured and taunted by a fragile wisp of a memory. It's intangible and veiled, and it hovers uncertainly somewhere around the hazy borders of the conscious mind. It's a memory of something they may have said, or something they think they did. Exactly what it was has been long forgotten. But now it must be paid for and the price? Life itself. Downtown at night, the city is a deserted place. The lofty office buildings, those gleaming towers of glass and steel, stand quiet, empty and foreboding, like ancient temples and like the ancient temples, they also have their priestesses. These are the ladies who enter at night with mops and brooms and vacuum cleaners to clear away the debris of the day's worship and purify the offices for tomorrow's rituals. We are concerned now with one of these. A sturdy middle -aged woman named Mary Margaret Cannon. Steady, hard -working, no nonsense. But on this Friday evening something seems amiss. Mary Margaret is pale. She's nervous. And every now and then she stops working and just listens.Starring: Tony Roberts, Suzanne Grossman, Robert Dryden, Bryna Raeburn, Jack Grimes
