PLOT SUMMARY

An anthology of strange horror and fantasy stories centered around an art gallery.

All too often Night Gallery is unfairly dismissed as being inferior to Serling's The Twilight Zone (1959 - 1965) when it's every bit its equal - and sometimes better. There are more horror stories here than in The Twilight Zone and for the most part they are well done and genuinely creepy - inevitably there are a few that fail to make the grade, but on the whole this was a more impressive series than it's been given credit for.
