Britská seriálová řada představuje příběhy hrůzy, tajemství, napětí a strachu. Několik příběhů ja natočeno na základě povídek spisovatele Roalda Dahla, který také během prvních dvou sezon pořadem provázel. I přes nízký rozpočet série přilákal hostující hvězdy nejvyššího kalibru, jako jsou Brian Blessed, Anna Neagle, Timothy West, Rod Taylor, John Gielgud, Elaine Stritch, John Mills, Julie Harris, Wendy Hillerová, Ian Holm, Joan Collinsová, Joseph Cotten, Derek Jacobi, Janet Leighová, Andrew Ray, Siobhan McKenna a Cyril Cusack. Dahl představil všechny své vlastní příběhy sám a krátce pohovořil o tom, co ho inspirovalo k napsání příběhu.
