Based in a dark disturbing museum setting, Night Gallery featured adaptations of some of the best works of dark-fantasy masters such as H. P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood, Fritz Leiber, A. E. van Vogt ... as well as a myriad of others.

The series was a collection of various tales that range from the tragic to the comedic. They may be scary or just thought-provoking. Most episodes have unexpected endings and a moral lesson. But, no matter what, it's "a journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are that of the imagination".
