==Television series== ===''Journey to the Unknown''=== {{main|Journey to the Unknown}} This was a fantasy, science fiction and supernatural [[anthology]] series which dealt with normal people in everyday situations that found themselves having to experience something out of the ordinary. 17 episodes of approximately 50 minutes each were produced by Hammer Film Productions and [[20th Century Fox Television]]. In America, eight episodes from the series were broadcast as four [[Television film|made-for-television films]] consisting of twinned episodes along with new segment introduction footage provided by actors [[Patrick McGoohan]], [[Sebastian Cabot (actor)|Sebastian Cabot]] and [[Joan Crawford]] serving as hosts. The series was first aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] from 26 September, 1968 to 30 January, 1969, prior to broadcast in the UK on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] in 1969. ===''Hammer House of Horror''=== {{main|Hammer House of Horror}} In 1980, Hammer Films created an [[anthology]] series for British television, ''Hammer House of Horror''. Shown on [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]], it ran for 13 episodes with a running length of approximately 54 minutes each. In a break from their cinema format, these self-contained episodes featured [[plot twist]]s which usually saw the protagonists fall into the hands of that episode's horror at the end. The series featured a different kind of horror each week, including witches, werewolves, ghosts, devil worship and voodoo, but also included non-supernatural horror themes such as cannibalism, confinement and serial killers. All the stories were set in contemporary England. ===''Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense''=== {{main|Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense}} A second television anthology series, ''[[Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense]]'', was produced in 1984 and ran for 13 episodes. The stories were originally to have been the same 54 min. length as their previous series, but it was decided to expand them to feature-length to market them as 'movies of the week' in the US. The running time varied from 69 to 73 minutes. The series was made in association with [[20th Century Fox]] (who broadcast films as ''Fox Mystery Theater'') and as such, the sex and violence seen in the earlier series was toned down considerably for US television. Each episode featured a star, often American, known to US viewers. This series was Hammer's final production of the 20th century, and the studio went into semi-permanent hiatus.
