Whilst there was a certain chemistry both times, the working relationship was not the same in The Betty ...

The official name of the program, hosted by Don Dowd, was always ABC Mystery Time. The program did have enough to attract some serious star power, including the immortal Sir Laurence Olivier! Mystery Time may not be as recognizable as some of NBC and CBS’s ...

This series was written by Michael McCabe and was produced in South Africa. It was a replacement for another series McCabe produced, called SF68.

What survives today doesn't involve a horror host per se, but a few include framing narration (by someone involved in the plot) while others just start up the story with no announcer or lead-in whatsoever.
