This is a horror anthology TV series from the 1970's, originally named "Ghost Story" and later it changed the title to "Circle of Fear". Each episode has a different tale of the spooky kind, and sometimes nightmarish. It was hosted by a fictional gentleman character named Winston Essex, owner of a haunted hotel, who introduced the stories. The next episode is "Time of Terror" directed by Robert Day, and stars Sabastian Cabot, Patricia Neal and Craig Stevens.
A woman named Ellen has woken up to find that her husband has gone. She's in a big fancy hotel with a swimming pool and casino, where everyone is perfectly happy and drinks are freely given. Unable to locate her husband, she becomes wary when her husband's things have also gone and nobody can say why. The hotel becomes a strange place and she feels alone and incredibly lost.
It must be pointed out that this is the last episode of season one, and things drastically change by season two, from the title from "Ghost Story" changing into "Circle of Fear" and the character Winston Essex no longer hosting each episode. The episode "Time of Terror" is based on the story "Travelling Companion" by Elizabeth Walter. The director of this episode Robert Day has also done work in horror films "Ritual of Evil" and "The Initiation of Sarah".
This episode was good deserving a hot and spicy strawberry.
