Just as "The Twilight Zone" raised the bar for television horror and suspense in the early 1960s, so Rod Serling's "Night Gallery" made its mark in the early 1970s. The very first episode of "Night Gallery" featured a young Steven Spielberg's directorial debut, and just as importantly, it also featured one of actress Joan Crawford's last appearances. To no one's surprise, Serling consistently made viewers' spines tingle and their skin crawl as he pressed further and further along the frayed frontiers of the macabre. In those days though, the programs did not come with cautionary warnings, and many younger viewers were genuinely, thrillingly disturbed by what they saw. "Night Gallery" was by no means horror for intellectual or artistic lightweights. Apropos of the show's title, Serling began each episode of "Night Gallery" surrounded by fine art, and he debuted each story by unveiling a Tom Wright original which illuminated the story. In addition to showcasing all-new pieces, "Night Gallery" also adapted classics by H.P. Lovecraft and other notables.
