Night Gallery is an American
anthology series that aired on
NBC from 1970 to 1973, featuring stories of
horror and the
macabre.
Rod Serling, who had gained fame from an earlier series,
The Twilight Zone, served both as the on-air host of
Night Gallery and as a major contributor of scripts, although he did not have the same control of content and tone as he had on
The Twilight Zone. Serling viewed
Night Gallery as a logical extension of
The Twilight Zone, but while both series shared an interest in thought-provoking dark fantasy, most of
Zone‘s offerings were science fiction or fantasy while
Night Gallery focused on horror and the supernatural.
