Description:
Two years before Thriller, Boris Karloff hosted The Veil, a never-broadcast ten-episode pilot of a TV horror anthology for the Hal Roach Studios in 1958. Boris also starred in nine of The Veil's ten episodes, making this a rare treat for Karloff fans. This special double-disc set includes all ten 26-minute episodes, directed by such genre luminaries as George Waggner (The Wolf Man) and Herbert L. Strock (I Was a Teenage Frankenstein), and starring such familiar faces as Patrick Macnee (The Avengers), Robert Hardy (Psychomania), Niall MacGinnis (Curse of the Demon), Clifford Evans (Kiss of the Vampire), Morris Ankrum (Earth vs. the Flying Saucers), Eve Brent (Gun Girls), and even a young George Hamilton. So please join Boris Karloff for another journey into the world of the unexplainable which lies behind...The Veil.

Though this Series is a lesser accomplishment for Karloff, it suits Collectors. However, the Cheaper Sets than this most expensive $24.95 one are just as good, I'm sure. Don't waste your money. Buy a cheap Set of "The Veil".

I can't say I was ever much of an outspoken Karloff fan, but will say that this series was an excellent chance for him to show some range in his acting. The Veil has actually made me a Karloff fan and feel it's a shame he was not in more visible dramatic film roles later in life.
The Veil itself as mentioned on other reviews is indeed a lot like ONE STEP BEYOND, though the production values seem a bit higher and had better directing. Each episode of The Veil has a feel more akin to ... Read More

Before buying this DVD set, I wondered why it was never a series. When I watched it, I know why. Most of the tales are predictable and dull. The only redeeming value is that Boris Karloff is the host and in most of the stories. This would be good to rent--but not buy.

These short episodes were very well done in all aspects. Boris Karloff as the host and actor is very entertaining. My personal favorite is the episode with the interesting take on the old story of the Lady of the Lake. Most communities with a lake nearby have a similar tale. In Dallas, Texas, it's the Ghost of White Rock Lake. I grew up here and over the years have heard several different stories surrounding the phenomenon. Thanks for bringing these old stories back to life!

As others have said, if you're a Karloff fan, this is a must-own, although be aware it's far from his best work....
As far as the show itself, the picture clarity is wonderful, but the stories themselves end up being rather flat, despite the obvious care taken with production values. There simply seems to be a lack of drama, for want of a better word. There's a reason this show never saw regualr broadcast. A shame; Boris near-wasted again......
