TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED SET 4 DVD REVIEW


A short blurb from Acorn Media about Tales of the Unexpected Set 4:” Mixing dark humor with horror and fantasy, these entertaining tales each build up to a startling final twist. This DVD set includes all 20 episodes from the last of the sixth season, part of the seventh and eighth seasons, available uncut for the first time.”
This set continues the horror and mystery stories with a touch of black humor. It had a cavalcade of British and American actors in these interesting 25-minute episodes.
