Night Gallery was Rod Serling's follow-up to The Twilight Zone in the late 1960s, early 1970s. Serling functioned primarily as the on-air host of Night Gallery and did not have the same control of content and tone as he did on Twilight Zone.

Serling appeared in an art gallery setting and introduced the program by showing and discussing a painting of a scene from that night's story.

Night Gallery regularly presented stories from classic fantasy, including H.P. Lovecraft, as well as original works.
