This classic acclaimed anthology series presented a selection of Gothic tales from major 19th century writers. Among the adapted works featured in this collection are Robert Louis Stevenson’s nihilistic The Suicide Club, Sheridan le Fanu’s Uncle Silas, Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula and a commendably faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
A distinguished cast includes Ian Holm as Dr Frankenstein, Denholm Elliot as Dracula, Patrick Mower (Callan) and Freddie Jones, who gives an astonishing performance as the demented barber, Sweeney Todd.
This release brings together all six of the specially commissioned feature-length teleplays which made up the latter incarnation of Mystery and Imagination, produced by Thames Television, and originally screened between 1968 and 1970.
