Outstanding Season of Thrillers, Mysteries & Horror
"Alfred Hitchcock Presents" premiered in October, 1955.  Hitchcock himself introduced each show with his trademark dry wit, and directed selected episodes.  The anthology series featured tales of mystery and suspense, horror and the supernatural, usually with a surprise ending.  It ran for ten seasons and was the forerunner of such series as "Thriller" and "The Twilight Zone."  The 36 episodes from 1958-1959's Season Four, now available in a four-disc set, are one of the series' best collections of stories.<br /><br />"Poison," directed by Hitchcock and based on a Roald Dahl short story, finds plantation owner Harry Pope (James Donald) awakening to find that a deadly snake has crawled into bed with him and is now asleep under the covers on his chest.  Suspense mounts as Harry, his partner Timber Woods (Wendell Corey), and a neighboring doctor attempt to figure a way to save him from a lethal bite.<br /><br />"The Waxwork" is a creepy tale of reporter Ray Hewson (Barry Nelson) who convinces wax museum owner Mr. Marriner (Everett Sloan) to let him spend the night in the museum's murderers' row gallery so he can write a story about its atmosphere.  Later that night, Hewson is stunned to see the unfinished figure of a murderous barber named Bourdette suddenly spring to life.  Bourdette claims he was scheduled for execution the following morning, but escaped and hid in the museum.<br /><br />A personal favorite, "Banquo's Chair," also directed by Hitchcock, stars frequent series cast member John Williams as  Scotland Yard Inspector Brent, who sets up a plan to entrap a man (Kenneth Haigh), acquitted of murdering his aunt years earlier, into confessing to the crime.  Brent hires an actress to appear as the ghost of the dead woman to shake up the nephew at a dinner party, prompting a confession.  This episode is wonderful in its use of reaction shots to illustrate the growing tension and then panic of the nephew as he sees his aunt's "ghost" while casual dinner conversation takes place around him.<br /><br />Bette Davis stars in "Out There, Darkness" as wealthy Miss Fox, who hires the elevator boy to walk her beloved pet poodle.  When Eddie asks her for a loan, she turns him down and he refuses to walk the dog any longer.  That night, Miss Fox is mugged and her handbag and valuable ring are stolen.  Assuming Eddie is the perpetrator, she informs the police and Eddie is arrested but, after he's spent a year in jail, the actual culprit is caught. Eddie is released and a penitent Miss Fox tries to make amends.<br /><br />Other stars appearing in fourth season episodes include Claude Rains, Franchot Tone, Joyce Meadows, Brian Keith, Steve McQueen, Dick York, Paul Douglas, Cloris Leachman, Richard Kiley, Leslie Nielsen, and Elizabeth Montgomery.  Also included in the set is the featurette "Fasten Your Seatbelt: The Thrilling Art of Alfred Hitchcock."
