Does anyone remember this brilliant series, shown by The Beeb in the late 70s? Each week a story was told to The Club Of The Damned - One in particular was really frightening - Dorabella it was called I think. I remember the chap at the end asking for 'candied fruit' - and revealing his white, iris and pupil free eyes. Yet another novelisation I used to own and havent got a clue what happened to it. Knowing me it was probably traded for a pack of Top Trumps or a Bowie single!
Has the series ever been repeated, or available on DVD?

Night Of The Marionettes was probably the creepiest episode. No commercial dvd release yet available I'm afraid.

Hope you turn up another copy of the novelisation of the series, Colin. I thought it was super fun with Muller's stories adapted by Mary Danby, 'Roger Malisson', Rosemary Timperley and others. Supernatural |

I remember this I think... one episode about a vampire with a coffin full of maggots in it and another with a bloke in a weird room and suddenly this inexplicable galloping horse noise happens around him? I seem to recall a scene with blokes dragging the Thames for bodies in Victorian London too... there were letters to the Radio Times about this series accompanied by a one frame cartoon, a bloke knocking a stake into his telly, which is unplugged, but Supernatural's credits still rolling!

...another with a bloke in a weird room and suddenly this inexplicable galloping horse noise happens around him... This sound very like Hodgson's "The Horse of the Invisible" again (as done in the TV series "The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes"). There can't be two TV versions of this, can there? |

I'm sure not the be all and end all of such info, so who knows, but I do follow any and all Hodgson and Manly Wade Wellman adaptations as closely as possible and hadn't heard of another adaptation of Hodgson's Horse of the Invisible.

The episodes that I remember clearest are the two-parter "Countess Ilona" with Billie Whitelaw, about a werewolf. The series was shown on saturday nights I believe and had a very good cast e.g. Gordon Jackson, Ian Hendry, Jeremy Brett, Robert Hardy and Denholm Elliott, in addition to the aforementioned Billie Whitelaw. I am not aware that it was ever repeated.
