What happens

The Veil is an American supernatural anthology television series hosted by and starring Boris Karloff and produced in 1958 by Hal Roach Studios, very similar to Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond. The series was created by Frank P. Bibas (1917-1997). Production was abandoned after a pilot and eleven episodes had been made, which were never broadcast nor shown in syndication. However the episodes were later compiled into three feature-length films which were broadcast on late night TV in the 1960s and later released to VHS home video. The complete original series has since been released in its original format on DVD from Shout! Factory / Timeless Media retitled Tales of the Unexplained. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
