THE VEIL VOLUME 2 - (DVD MOVIE)

Boris Karloff, the master of horror, hosts a macabre collection of strange stories (all based on true incidents) in this rarely-seen series that was intended for television back in 1958. Made a few years before Karloff s better-known Thriller show, The Veil featured the veteran actor performing in many of the chilling episodes in a variety of creepy roles. While the program was never aired, some of its episodes were plucked and edited into feature-length movies that were sold to television, reminiscent of theatrical releases like Tales From The Crypt and The Vault Of Horror. Exceptionally entertaining and well-made, The Veil evokes the same type of edge-of-your-seat thrills as The Twilight Zone and One Step Beyond. Episode 1 - The Gloucester Captain: Having gone mad after many long years at sea, Captain John Elwood returns home to Massachusetts with thoughts of brutally murdering his devoted wife. Episode 2 - The Doctor Angelo, the son of an elderly doctor, attempts to save the life of a deathly ill young girl. After his father unexpectedly arrives to help her, Angelo realizes he has had a brush with the supernatural. Episode 3 - The Crystal Ball: Edmond Valye is hopelessly in love with a beautiful but greedy woman. When he discovers a mystical crystal ball, Edmond learns the scandalous secrets of her deceitful nature. Episode 4 - Two Sons: Rival brothers battle each other for the estate of their recently departed father. When the conflict turns violent, the dead father s restless spirit returns to save his family from total destruction.
