Do y’all remember an old show called Night Visions?
Night Visions was a horror anthology show that ran for a season in 2001. It got some good reviews as a summer replacement series but it struggled to find an audience. After the 9-11 attacks, the show was preempted for three weeks straight and, when it finally did come back, I imagine that viewers weren’t really in the mood for a horror anthology, not when they had real-life horror to deal with on a daily basis.
And so, Night Visions was canceled but apparently, it still has a strong cult following.
Below is the very first episode of Night Visions. It originally aired on July 12th, 2001 and it tells two stories. In the Passenger List, a man investigating a plane crash starts to doubt his own sanity. In the Bokor, a group of medical students make the mistake of cutting into the cadaver of a powerful voodoo priest. Mayhem follows.
From what I’ve seen on YouTube, it looks like Night Visions was actually pretty good so enjoy this episode!
(And yes, each episode was hosted by Henry Rollins.)
