"The Black Door"... from what series?

Postby Monsterwax » Mon Jan 11, 2010 12:42 am

I found this cool sci-fi horror episode online but it is missing the series intro and closing themes/ credits. I don't know what series it is from, but the story is called "The Black Door".

It's about a professor who goes to South America, and meets up with a local who has a stature of a dog headed person his grand father found in the jungle before he died. The two agree to seek the source of the statue for treasure and fame. The go via helicopter, and find it inside an abandoned volcano. They find treasure, and a black door leading to stairs descending down below. Instead of leaving and returning with a team, they go down the stairway and find a sacrifice room, and eaten mushrooms... and creatures who are starving for fresh meat! I could tell you more, but don't want to spoil it if you haven't heard it before. Here's the link:

Anyone know what series it's from? Instead of an organ, it uses a piano for the background music. There's also other sound effects, but it's mainly the cool script that makes this story spooky. Enjoy!

I found a link to this show that says:

"This is Suspense's show #901 broadcasted 11/19/61."

The title on the link was "Boogere Living Underground"
So this might be from Suspense. Yet it has none regular suspense music or breaks included. At a little over 22 minutes, it could have been edited out though.

This is not confirmation, just a maybe of what it is.
