No thrills or chills to be found here.
PLEASE NOTE: This is in regards to the DVD, which contains 4 TV episodes as opposed to 2 for the VHS version.

It's easy to see why this never became a successful show, even with Boris Karloff attached to it.

"Destination Nightmare" is actually a collection of four TV episodes of about 25 minutes apiece. The writers apparently had very little creativity when compared to such classics as "Twilight Zone" or "Amazing Stories".

The first episode is about a teenage girl who goes to visit her mother's childhood home. When she gets there, she is overcome with the spirit of a girl who had died ten years earlier. This is the best out of the four, but that really isn't saying much.

The second episode is about a young man who sees a ghost while he is flying a plane. The ghost tries to make him crash.

The third episode is too similar to the first. A young Indian woman has been reincarnated and she remembers her past life. She shocks people by knowing things that only her previous incarnation could possibly know. The fact that white people are trying to portray Hindu Indians adds to the tackiness.

The final episode is kind of hard to explain because it is so utterly illogical. In general, a gentleman encounters a young blonde woman having car trouble. He senses that she is in some sort of imminent danger. I won't spoil the "twist" for you but it makes everything that occurred earlier in the episode lack any sense whatsoever.

If these stories were the best that they could come up with at the start, then I would hate to see what they would've come up with if the show was around for a while.

Absolute bore.
Only in case these late 50s (it should be 1958 instead 1968 as listed above) TV-episodes can evoke some personal memories in you, is this DVD worth viewing. Unfortunately I have to describe it, together with some other DVDs from this lot, incredibly boring. Looks poor Boris was in bad need of money, he looks so uninspired. The technical quality of these DVD-s are nothing much to boust about as well. So, don't expect anything but nostalgia here. No nightmares, no destination.

Two excellent tales of the supernatural!
These two seperate stories come from Boris Karloff's 10 episode series "THE VEIL" which was filmed for TV.These are two of the better episodes~~The first story revolves around a strange girl & an even stranger man (Karloff) who,well...you'll have to watch the show!Episode two concerns a fellow who witnesses a murder from his window...or does he? Karloff again plays a role.Great tape! Great fun! ... Read more

Shoulds be called the lost episodes- and the best.
Even though I have been a Lone Ranger fan since the 50's, I was surprised that I had never seen the first three television episodes from 1949. I don't recall ever seeing any of these in syndication. I was also surprised at how good they were- actually better than many of the later episodes.

These three shows explain everything that I was curious about as a kid: the origin of the Lone Ranger, Where Tonto came from, how he found Silver, the meaning of the silver bullets, the vow to never shoot to kill.... It is all there, everything I wondered about as a boy.

I supposed some people will consider the dialog and the acting to be old fashion. I ,however, liked the fact that the actors took the ideals of the show seriously (justice, law, order, decency, fairness and good) There is no tongue-in-check "spoofing" or laughing at these ideals. I rate these three episodes right up there with any western that I have ever seen- and I've seen alot.

Legend of the Lone Ranger
A great movie about how the Lone Ranger became the Lone Ranger.. I have purchased Legend of the Lone Ranger, Enter the Lone Ranger and The Lone ranger Triumph. These three videos are one and the same just in diffenent format. By purchasing the Legend of the Lone Ranger you will have all three of these videos.

Premiere Episode, and Origin!
This video features the first three episodes of the classic TV series with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels. It chronicles the origin of the Lone Ranger, how he met Tonto and became the Lone Ranger, where his silver bullets come from, and his quest to bring the Cavendish Gang (who murdered his brother, and several other Texas Rangers) to justice.

This is definitely *THE* Lone Ranger video to have. It features:

"Enter the Lone Ranger" - The Texas Rangers were the only law and order in the Old West until they were double-crossed, ambushed and slaughtered by the notorious Cavendish Gang. Now, only one ranger survives and he dedicates his life to their memory. With the help of his long lost friend Tonto, the Lone Ranger vows to bring back law and order to the frontier.

"The Ranger Fights On" - After burying his true identity by the graves of his brother and other Texas Ranger companions, the Lone Ranger disguises himself with a black mask and goes after the Cavendish Gang on the back of a wild silver stallion.

"The Cavendish Gang" - Butch Cavendish and his band of outlaws escape again and it is up to the Lone Ranger and Tonto to put and end to The Cavendish Gang.

First Episode of Lone Ranger Series
This is it! If you are a Lone Ranger fan, this is a must have. Somewhat stiff and hokey action and script, but that is the kitsch of the series. Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in b & w not as picturesque as the color series, but all in all very interesting three story arc. ... Read more
