GHOST STORY

SEBASTIAN CABOT - "WINSTON ESSEX"



"Ghost Story", which premiered on 17 March 1972; was a US anthology horror series focusing on the supernatural. Winston Essex played by Sebastian Cabot, opened each episode by taking the audience into his spooky old mansion and introducing the plot, which could range from a vampire preying on college students to a ghost haunting a house to an old man using voodoo against his own family. On 5 January 1973, the series changed its title to "Circle of Fear.htm", and became a non-hosted horror show.

From Wikipedia:
Charles Sebastian Thomas Cabot was born on 6 July 1918 and passed away on 23 August 1977. Cabot was a British actor. He is best remembered as the gentleman's gentleman, Giles French, opposite Brian Keith's character, William "Uncle Bill" Davis, in the CBS-TV sitcom "Family Affair" (1966-1971). He was also known for playing the Wazir in the film "Kismet" (1955) and Dr. Carl Hyatt in the CBS-TV series "Checkmate" (1960-1962).

Cabot was also a voice performer in many Disney animated films. He made one of his first contributions in "The Sword in the Stone" (1963), as both the narrator and Lord Ector. Not long thereafter, he brought life to Bagheera in "The Jungle Book" (1967). His longest-standing role came through the Winnie the Pooh series, in which he narrated "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" (1966), "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" (1968), "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too" (1974), and "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" (1977).
