Shades of Darkness

4 stars

Looking to watch something a little spooky, and Masterpiece Theatre is your bag? The Granada Television series Shades of Darkness is just the thing for you! This collection contains six mysterious tales based on the writing of Edith Wharton, CHB Kitchin, May Sinclair, and Elizabeth Bowen. Originally produced in the 1980’s, the creepiness still holds up. The acting is superb, and the locales totally add to the mystique. My favorite of this collection is “Bewitched.” Based on an Edith Wharton story, the tale takes place in part on the seaside, where a ghostly girl calls her former lover to come to her.
