About
Ghost Stories is an American horror anthology television series that ran from 1997 to 1998 on the cable channel The Family Channel.
The show was narrated by Rip Torn and originally two episodes were presented back to back in an hour-long segment. However, towards the end of the series it was broken down into 30 minute episodes with just one story, most featuring a style similar to episodes of The Twilight Zone in which there would be a twist at the end.
There have been five DVD releases and is currently being shown in the United Kingdom on the TV channel Zone Horror.
