    Does anyone remember a british TV horror series from the seventies called "Club of the Damned" ? each week a prospective member had to tell an assembled commitee of established members a story that would justify them being accepted into the club, cue flashbacks and various horror/supernatural tales. It was a bit like a TV version of the Amicus horror compendiums, I remember it being quite good, are there any recordings around I wonder?

    This sounds to me like the series that was called 'Supernatural' that was shown in 1977 by the BBC.

    Wasn't it an American series with people like Fred Astaire, etc and they all sat around in high-backed leather chairs around a roaring fire...

    No defintley British, by the BBC and filmed on good old fashioned video tape. Don't recall Fred Astaire in any of the episodes.

    This sounds like the film 'Ghost Story' based on a Peter Straub horror story.

    the main focus is he remembers a series that was shown by the BBC in or around 1977 that featured the 'Club of the Damned' with a prospective member that had to tell an assembled commitee of established members a story that would justify them being accepted into the club.



    In short this would be the series called 'Supernatural'

    I'm sure club of the damned was a BBC production shown on BBC 1 on a Saturday night before match of the day - could stay up no school next day. Didn't the story tellers pay with their lives if they failed to impress the members of the club.
