Eight Men Out (1988)
Complete longshot, but can anyone tell me which TV show this is?
This has been bugging me for years. When I was about eight (1988), I went to my uncle’s house here in the UK. It was a Saturday morning and my mum plonked me down in front of the TV. I watched this rather odd TV show, and I’d love to know what it was.
I’m pretty sure it was American, and probably from the 70s-early 80s. In it, a man – possibly a detective – visited a house by the sea. It was a big, semi-gothic place, and it had a grand staircase. He met the owner of the house, who went away. Then the eyes on a spooky painting on the wall “opened”, and someone on the other side looked through them. I think I turned off then because I was a bit scared.
It was definitely live-action, and probably part of a series. I remember it quite vividly, undoubtedly because it freaked me out a bit. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Could it have been Dark Shadows?
