#LIBRARIES LOST TO TIME SERIES#

On a fateful night, Wiley researches the 1927 murder of a librarian at the very place she died. Vera Miles of Psycho fame plays a determined criminologist named June Wiley. So the show’s lost-to-time quality seems appropriate for this episode, which is about a woman who has been trapped in the past.

Neither Hammer nor 20th has made the effort to re-release the series today. In America, eight of the seventeen episodes were chosen for four made-for-television features one of these includes the fan-favorite, “ Matakitas is Coming“. And like 1973’s Thriller series, both American and British actors were cast in the roles. In the late 1960s, Hammer Film Productions and 20th Century Fox Television teamed up on an anthology called Journey to the Unknown. These five episodes from TV anthologies show strangers hiding among the bookcases, patrons in peril, and librarians struggling to survive. At the wrong time of night, a library takes on a whole other identity. Near silence is preferred, yet sometimes being too quiet and too alone is unnerving. While they have evolved to be more like community centers, libraries still encourage guests to keep their voices down. But as anyone who frequents them knows, libraries are a haven from all the bustle. Escaping the noise outside can seem impossible, especially when living in an urban environment. The world is loud, and it is only getting louder.
