It has much more of a horror-themed, and was for kids, but would Are You Afraid of the Dark? also count?

I've never seen it personally, but there was "The Hidden Room". There was a set out there in the trading world. I've always wanted to acquire it.

Perversions of Science

There was another one Al Hitchcock was involved in. I think it was called "Suspicion" or "Suspense"

Although I didn't care for it personally because it seemed to focus more on scare tactics than good stories, but some people liked "Freddy's Nightmares"

In a way..."Beyond Belief: Fact of Fiction".

There's one story which was 100% true and one story that was well-written to think it did happen but it didn't...yet!

Oh, I use to love that show!

One of the episodes had Alan Young from "Mister Ed" as a guest star.

I thought the last "Twilight Zone" revival with Forest Whitaker had some good episodes too.

I'm going to check this show out! I read a lot of Harlan Ellison last year for a Science Fiction literature class and I loved it.
