  • Scary tv show from... I don't know! (saw on Children's channel early 90s?)

    Hi,

    This is a real vague one! I remember a show from what must have been late 80s/early 90s (before 1993) that I thiiink was show on the Children's channel.

    I couldn't really say what era it was from but I imagine 70s, probably 80s.

    It was a scary sort of a story show, and I can't really quite remember any of the actors in it actually speaking? It might have been entirely narrated. And based on "true" stories?

    The first episode I remember very little of - I remember a scene of a man turning into some sort of tiger/leopard. Possibly south americanish/african tribal story about magical powers that allowed them to turn into animals??

    the other story I remember was set in a dark dank castle of sorts - a woman (or man??) is bricked up inside a secret room of the castle, while still alive. As punishment for some sort of 'crime' or offence they must have committed against the person sealing them in!
    I thiiink this room was hidden behind a painting, hanging on the bricked over entrance and years later the room is discovered and there's a skeleton sitting in there..possibly at a writing desk?

    Is there maaaybe something relating to a ring with a large jewel in it, perhaps still worn by the person trapped?

    Really vague, and I wouldn't put it out of the realms of possibility that I dreamed all of this, but I'd love to know what it was if it existed! I'd have probably been only 5-8 years old when I saw it and remember it being quite creepy and scary.

    The singing ringing tree, maybe?

        The only thing I can think of from that period would be the Storyteller. It was a Jim Henson production. A great program where nearly every story told was fairly dark and gloomy in places. Would of been shown in the late 80's.But unfortunately none of the story's seem to match up with what you remember. There was one about a ring called Sapsorrow.
