'WAY OUT

ROALD DAHL

"'Way Out" was a 1961 American horror, fantasy, and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre black & white 25 minute shows were introduced by Dahl, his face projected in a disconcerting hall of mirrors effect, dryly delivering a brief introductory monologue, expounding on such unusual subjects as undertakers or frogs or murdering a romantic rival with ground tiger's whiskers. Roald Dahl was a famous short story writer who became one of the most successful and beloved children's writers of all time. He also wrote several screenplays. Born on 13 September 2016 in Wales and sadly passed away on 23 November 1990 in England, United Kingdom. Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during World War II. While assistant air attaché in Washington DC, he began writing, which after the war became his life-long vocation. He wrote two novels, two autobiographies, nineteen children's books, and many short story collections, the most notable being Kiss Kiss (1959) and Switch Bitch (1974). Many of his stories were made into movies and/or television episodes; including "Matilda", "The Witches" and "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory".
