The Weird Tailor - Boris Karloff's Thriller - HD

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

I was a kid in the 1960's and there were some great TV shows back then. Thank you for this one.

[@per-olofwiktorsson2650]

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that the 1960's was the decade that gave true meaning to the expression "Peak Television"? Brilliant episode anyhow. Thank you so much for posting.

I was in a relationship with a gentleman that amicably ended in early 2010. His voice always mesmerized me. I just realized why. He sounded amazingly like Mr Karloff, without the British accent. My beau's mouth and tongue moved in the same manner. It was so soothing to put my head on his chest while we cuddled and talked. RIP Mr Karloff and my Captain Jeff. You both impacted my life in such positive ways!

[@JessicaMcGowan-bu4ls]

Thank you for a lovely story of a relationship that ended mutually with good memories.

[@MichaelB5150]

Ive always enjoyed the character actors of the 50s 60s and 70s. Henry Jones, George McCready and their counterparts could seamlessly go from thriller to westerns to police shows to dramas. I absolutely love this stuff. Thank you!!

[@JessicaMcGowan-bu4ls]

These people were good at their craft and glad to say that got a lot of work. A Thriller one week and a western the next and they were good in both.

[@chadpainterspallete620]

Thank you so much for this series, always one before bedtime

[@HorrorMovieClassics]

Ditto! A great sleeptime story ;)

[@davidevans6072]

I've seen four or five Thriller episodes so far and this is the best one.

[@F1989C]

The ending of this episode was so unsettling that I haven't watched the episode since the First viewing.

[@llamapajama7840]

In what way " unsettling" thank you, needed to ask

[@museonfilm8919]

This story is also featured in the anthology called 'Asylum' produced by Hammer in the 1970's - it's a shorter version, but darker.

[@per-olofwiktorsson2650]

Not Hammer films, Amicus, a rival company in large contemporary to Hammer, founded by American film producers Milton Subotsky and Max J. Rosenberg active in England, where as Hammer was genuinely British. The differences between the output of the two companies is interesting.

[@Retrorevelations]

It sure is nice to have the entire plot explained before the episode even starts. That's a nice touch.

[@MsBackstager]

Yes, the story is lot more "fleshed" out than the 19 minute version in ASYLUM starring Barry Morse and Peter Cushing.

[@ruf406]

I agree this episode really gave me nightmares when I was younger. Hans coming to life 😲

[@colinmcginn977]

In the Amicus production Barry Morse played the tailor also known for the detective who relentlessly chased Richard Kimble in The Fugitive.

[@HorrorMovieClassics]

Nice bit of info that - It will be used in our new intros to the films we put up!

[@Gambit771]

If that fortune teller can see so much I'd be interested to know why she thinks she isn't as guilty as everyone else. She lead facilitated the initial sale of the book.

[@MsBackstager]

Yet she asked a lot of questions about the son. Should she have known this?

[@per-olofwiktorsson2650]

It's an old genre tradition, from Greek tragedy. The Seer only tells the truth. You dig your own grave, even if the Seer passes you the shovel. Remember Shakespeare's Macbeth? The three Witches?

[@timmc8444]

absolute classic

[@NFFair]

This was awesome!

[@AAZEDLARC]

OK, that was one messed-up story! 10 out of 10 :)

[@darylcumming7119]

The devil made me do it. Mannequin's don't answer back?

[@joannebeauchamp1169]

Do you notice how many of the brilliant actors on these old TV shows can come up with those cool foreign accents like the woman fortune teller? How many actors nowadays can even attempt to do accents? 💥

[@lesnyk255]

Hugh Laurie does a pretty good job passing as an American...

[@lesnyk255]

Reminds me a little of Algernon Blackwood's "The Doll".

[@benjamlnlewis6836]

Lots of different dimensions 2 this episode, every changing.

[@loisrossi841]

Thank you.

[@malcolmclements9254]

Hes great Hans.

[@wouldirun]

[@HorrorMovieClassics]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wouldirun]

@@HorrorMovieClassics Cheers!

[@6Haunted-Days]

Omg I couldn’t STAND that woman!!! WHY would you keep hanging on a man who hits you and verbally abuses you so badly EVERY TIME he’s around you…..Christ her whining is godawful irritating tho…..I was so MAD when that Hans saved her…..but seriously any person who’s CONSTANTLY gotta touch and grab and pull and HANG on a person like she did with him. Just STOP mmmmk? NO ONE likes that. 🙄🤡🚌🙄

[@MsBackstager]

Don't blame the wife. She had no one else and nowhere to go in America.

[@king-fisher]

Don't worry, I'm sure "Hans" will treat her lot better.

[@essiefinch1356]

On my top five...creepy

[@HorrorMovieClassics]

Agreed!

[@wouldirun]

same

[@LilyS1031]

The ending of this one grabbed me by the throat, definitely at the top. This and the Grim Reaper.

[@Nikolaii2571]

Robert Bloch was influenced by Ed Gein.

[@TimTE01]

I mean...yeah, everyone knows that.

[@lesnyk255]

also HP Lovecraft. They corresponded frequently back in the 1930s.

[@jahudgens5344]

$500 in 1960 is worth $4400 in 2024
