Thriller is an anthology series of single plays – some horrific, some darkly hilarious. Highly-popular and critically acclaimed in its time, the show attracted a high calibre of stars. With tales featuring foreign agents and time-bending serial killers (and all points in between!), Thriller set a new benchmark for quality horror in the 1970s.
