Descripción general
Suspense fue creado por Hubbell Robinson por MCA 's Revue Estudios . Aunque recordada principalmente como una serie que enfatizaba el horror gótico , bajo el productor Fletcher Markle Thriller fue inicialmente una serie orientada hacia el suspenso y el drama criminal, a la manera de Alfred Hitchcock Presents . Markle fue despedido después de haber completado ocho episodios y reemplazado por Maxwell Shane . Shane continuó en el molde del drama criminal, aunque comenzó a agregar adornos de terror gótico a algunas historias, pero también fue reemplazado después de haber completado nueve episodios más. El resto de la primera temporada y toda la segunda fue producida por William Frye, quien movió firmemente Thriller al formato por el que sería más recordado, aunque de vez en cuando se seguirían presentando historias de crímenes y de misterio que no fueran de terror. a lo largo de la carrera del programa.
Entre los muchos escritores de la serie se encuentran Donald S. Sanford , Robert Hardy Andrews y Robert Bloch , que adaptaron varias de sus propias historias, en particular "The Weird Tailor". Los autores cuyas obras se adaptaron con frecuencia incluyeron a August Derleth , Charlotte Armstrong y Cornell Woolrich .
Además de actuar como presentador de la serie, Karloff también protagonizó cinco episodios: "La predicción", "El entierro prematuro", "El último de los Sommerville", "Diálogos con la muerte" y "El increíble doctor Markesan". .
Otros actores incluyeron a Leslie Nielsen en el primer episodio del programa "The Twisted Image", William Shatner en dos episodios, "The Hungry Glass" y "The Grim Reaper", Constance Ford en dos episodios, Mary Tyler Moore en dos episodios, Henry Daniell en cinco episodios y Edward Andrews en tres episodios. La actriz infantil Beverly Washburn apareció en "Parasite Mansion"; Joan Tompkins apareció en "The Cheaters" y "Mr. George". Elizabeth Montgomery , Tom Poston y John Carradine en "Masquerade".

En Danse Macabre , la historia de Stephen King de 1981 y la crítica de la ficción de terror, King sugiere que Thriller fue la mejor serie de su tipo hasta ese momento. [2]
Alfred Hitchcock aceleró la desaparición de la serie después de subir a bordo de NBC con The Alfred Hitchcock Hour , una versión ampliada de una hora de su anterior serie de media hora Alfred Hitchcock Presents . Hitchcock aparentemente no quería dos programas similares de una hora al mismo tiempo. [3]
En una reseña del lanzamiento del DVD de la antología en 2010, The Hollywood Reporter dijo: "No todos los episodios funcionan y las transferencias pueden ser un poco granulosas. Pero cuando lo hacen, las fuertes sombras que viven en blanco y negro, la partitura asombrosamente sobreexcitada por compositores Jerry Goldsmith y Morton Stevens (aunque sólo tenían música así de nuevo), la narración no usar sustos de gore y barato como muletas, los resultados son realmente goosebump inductora ". [4]
