Each episode features a character telling a horror story to the “Club of the Damned” — if the tale is frightening enough, they’re accepted as a member; if not, they pay with their life. The series blends gothic horror, supernatural folklore, and psychological tension, typical of 1970s British television.

This BFI release is considered a collector’s edition, restoring a rarely seen BBC series that originally aired in 1977
