Another thread about scary music has prompted me to try to remember a series which I can't name....but the b/w opening sequence had a scary image of a
sculptured man's head, in a shadowy, smoke-billowed set etc etc. as the camera slowly went round it..... Shown 'late' for my years in early 1970s on ITV it was a drama series of short stories I
never chanced to watch cos the opening sequence was scary enough. It was like a 'alfred hitchcock presents',,, style prog , but not him, someone. Anyone, HELP!
This is a little like you describe

I found this very obscure series, which could have still have been shown in the seventies, but there is little information.
Late Night Horror (TV Series 1968) - IMDb
It's the Edgar Wallace mysteries, isn't it? A plaster bust of a man's head in a foggy/dry ice set.
i'd have said it was 'orson welles great mysteries' -the intro of which features a hat wearing mr welles walking through a very dark and foggy street set,the series is of 30mins episodes of mystery and supernatural tales.

it as the edgar wallace mysteries - many thanks ....all I recall is that very weird opening sequence :0
Yes - the bust was of Edgar Wallace himself. And I recall that The Shadows released a cover version of the the theme tune.
