Macabre 25-minute tales delving into horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. Dahl's disconcerting monologues introduce twisted stories involving undertakers, frogs, and murdering rivals with ground tiger's whiskers.

"'Way Out" was a 1961 US horror, fantasy, and science fiction television anthology series hosted by Roald Dahl. The macabre black-and-white 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl, his face projected in a disconcerting hall of mirrors effect, dryly delivering a brief introductory monologue, expounding on such unusual subjects as undertakers or frogs or murdering a romantic rival with ground tiger's whiskers.—The Professor
