About This Event

Thriller was a classic anthology series hosted by legendary horror icon Boris Karloff. Each week brought viewers a completely different tale of mystery, suspense, the supernatural, and the macabre. Now, you can experience the series the way it was meant to be seen—with the lights down and the eerie atmosphere of the historic Oroville Inn.

Join us Wednesday evenings at 7 PM for four classic episodes from the first season:

🪞 September 30 — “The Hungry Glass”

A newly married couple discovers that their new home may be haunted by terrifying images appearing in glass and mirrors. Originally aired January 3, 1961. 

👻 October 7 — “Mr. George”

A young girl facing greedy relatives finds an unlikely protector in a mysterious ghost named Mr. George. Originally aired May 9, 1961. 

🧠 October 14 — “A Good Imagination”

A seemingly mild-mannered bookworm uses his imagination—and inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe—to take revenge on his unfaithful wife and her lovers. Originally aired May 2, 1961. 

💀 October 21 — “The Grim Reaper”

A mysterious painting depicting the Grim Reaper comes into the possession of a famous author. But when blood appears on the Reaper’s blade, an old legend suddenly becomes terrifyingly real. Originally aired June 13, 1961.
