Six years after the final episode of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) aired, Rod Serling came back to host a new show called Night Gallery (1970-1973). While Night Gallery wasn't on air as long as The Twilight Zone, forty-three episodes aired that included ninety-three segments and a pilot. The premise of this show was that Serling was an art curator who would introduce a macabre tale and then unveil a painting that depicted the story. Both the paintings and stories had a darker feel to them than anything seen on The Twilight Zone.
This is a list of Old Hollywood actors with a photo of each of the episodes in Night Gallery that they starred in. Some Old Hollywood stars had bit parts like Orson Welles narrating "Silent Snow, Street Snow" (1971) or starring roles like Leslie Nielsen in "Phantom of What Opera?" (1971). No matter how large or small their roles were they each gave convincingly creepy performances.
