The Veil 1958

The Veil is an American horror/suspense anthology television series 
produced in 1958 by Hal Roach Studios.

The series was hosted by Boris Karloff, who also acted in every episode 
but one, and was allegedly based upon real-life reports of supernatural 
happenings and the unexplained. Ten of the twelve episodes began and 
ended with Karloff standing in front of a roaring fireplace and inviting viewers 
to find out what lies "behind the veil."

Hailed by critics as "the greatest television series never seen" The Veil was 
never broadcast. Troubles within the studio (and the collapse of a preliminary 
co-production arrangement with National Telefilm Associates) resulted in production 
being cancelled after only 10 episodes
