It was black and white but maybe from the 60s? Each week was up to 3 people telling a different horror story to their fellow club members.

    I put your question into chatGPT because I didn’t see any responses and was curious myself.


    The TV horror anthology series you’re referring to is likely “Night Gallery” (1969-1973), created by Rod Serling. Although “Night Gallery” was mostly in color and a bit later than the '60s, the format and setting you described might be a conflation with another series.

    However, the show most fitting your description is “Mystery and Imagination,” a British anthology series that ran from 1966 to 1970. It featured classic horror stories and was set in various gothic locations, though it wasn’t exclusively set in a gentleman’s club.

    Another possibility is “The Black Castle”, a German series from 1963 that involved storytelling in a gentleman’s club, although it’s less well-known.

    If the show had a stronger club setting and was in black and white, it could be an earlier or more obscure anthology series. None perfectly fit your description, but these might be close to what you’re thinking of.

      It routinely baffles me when folks think that copy-pasting crap into and out of a chatbot somehow contributes to a conversation. It’s like half a step up from telling everyone about the dreams you had last night

        I added three possible answers. One OP thinks may be correct. Based on VERY little information.

        You and a few others complained because I was open about how I got that answer. How foolish of me to query a tool that’s ingested every movie / tv database on the internet.

        From where I’m standing only one person added to this conversation.

          Did you look into it further or copy and pasted? For all anyone knows it could be what they are looking for, or it could be a fabrication.

        To be fair, LLMs are very good at this sort of associative lookup. But I agree that it doesn’t add much to thr conversation. It’s like the modern equivalent of letmegooglethatforyou

          doesn’t add to the conversation

          I provided a response and 3 possible answers.

          All you added to this conversation was a complaint. Thank you for your contribution.

            You copy pasted 3 possible answers from the font of infinite possible answers. OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.

              Another incredible contribution to the conversation. Thanks bud.

              OP could have done the same themselves but chose to ask humans.

              Did they though? They didn’t even provide which country the show aired in. Doesn’t exactly look like a thoroughly aired out question from OP.

        What was I thinking asking an LLM that ingested IMDB and every other TV/Movie website on the internet, a question about a TV show? I feel like such an idiot! Thank you hamms for setting me straight.

    I remember this, too. I also can’t remember what the name was, but I can picture the setting.
