Series Description:

SPINE CHILLERS was a 5-part series of horror shows that aired over
the British Broadcasting Corporation's BBC-4.  The shows were heard
Wednesday afternoon and were broadcast in stereo.  All shows were
approximately 45 minutes long.  The stories take place in the
present and are very much modern shows.

It struck me odd that these shows originally aired in the afternoon.
They're much more suited for listening in a darkened room with a
fire burning low in the fireplace.  A fun listen.

14 Feb, 1984  Tue   1   "Figures", A modern ghost story with an
                            unusual twist.  Instead of ghosts of the
                            past, it deals with ghostly images from

                            people go to lose their troubles.  Maybe
                            they lose too much.
