Synopsis
Though he made two feature films – the legendary WHO CAN KILL A CHILD? and THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED – the ultimate legacy of writer/director Narciso 'Chicho' Ibáñez Serrador remains his groundbreaking 1966-1968 Televisión Española series HISTORIAS PARA NO DORMIR . Serrador wrote, directed and introduced every episode, adapting stories by Ray Bradbury , Edgar Allan Poe , Robert Bloch and his own material under the pseudonym Luis Peñafiel , shocking Franco-era audiences with black humor, macabre themes and sharp social commentary while inspiring generations of Spain's greatest genre filmmakers as well as a 2021 reboot. This definitive 2-disc collection includes Serrador's complete classic series, 1974 special, 1982 mini-series and more that celebrates the Lifetime Achievement Goya Award winner Nerdist calls “one of the great Euro-Horror directors of all time.”
