Circle of Fear: Death's Head


Circle of Fear is the second season of Ghost Story. The first episode is "Death's Head" directed by James Neilson and stars Janet Leigh, Gene Nelson and Rory Calhoun. 

A man named Steve is obsessed with insects, he mounts them and collects them. However, his wife Carol doesn't share his enthusiasm and she's much more interested in his friend and colleague named Larry. During a date together, Carol meets a strange woman who owns a shops full of herbs and potions. She gives Carol some special "ingredients" that will ensure her dreams. It doesn't turn out the way she wanted.

Ghost Story (season one) featured host Winston Essex played by Sabastian Cabot doesn't appear in the second season. The whole series changed from season two, from the title, the credits and music score. IMHO it was better with Winston Essex and his charismatic presence. In this particular episode the house was also used in the 1960's tv series "Bewitched". The director James Neilson has worked on Ghost Story before and he has also done work for Disney. 

This insect filled episode is rather moth eaten and gets a grey strawberry.
