Creepy TV: The Ghost of Potter's Field (Circle of Fear, 1973)

We previously screened this over at Saturday Morning Archives three years ago because two of the cast in this entry are known to cartoon fans.

Anyway, this offering from Circle of Fear is evidence that William Castle's vision was squandered by NBC, which cancelled the series (previously known as Ghost Story) after 1 season. Jimmy Sangster, better known for his work at Hammer Films in England in the 60's, was a contributor to the series.

"The Ghost of Potter's Field" deals with a magazine editor (Tab Hunter) and an evil doppleganger. Also starring William Boyett (Adam-12), Robert Mandan (2 years before Caribe), Pat Harrington, Paul Winchell, and Gary Conway (ex-Land of The Giants, Burke's Law):



Yes, it's a Sony property, but it broils me that no one's considered picking this up.

Rating: B.
