Run time is approximately 30 minutes. This work is in color. Slipcase has some wear, tear and soiling and is in only fair condition. Secrets of the Unknown (also know as Secrets & Mysteries) is an incredible visual/hi-fi experience--daringly showcasing the bizarre, the terrifying and the real. With a little help from our other-worldly host Edward Mulhare (The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Knightrider) you will travel into the eye of another mystical dimension, an arena of strange and unusual phenomena that previously defied explanation. Jack the Ripper: Who was the phantom beast named Jack the Ripper who more than 100 years ago sllit the throats of five London prostitutes from ear-to-ear? Did he reveal his identify in writing above one of the victims:" Was Jack the Ripper a member of British Royalty? Was the killer actually three different men? Jack the Ripper explores theories surrounding one of the most notorious unsolved crimes of modern times. Between August 7 and November 10, 1888, Jack the Ripper terrorized London, killing women. Secrets & Mysteries is a television series which originally aired in syndication from 1988 to 1989. It was hosted by Irish actor Edward Mulhare and dealt with topics of a paranormal nature, as well as mysterious historical events. It was similar to the 1970s/1980s series In Search of. "Secrets of the Unknown invites you into the world of the bizarre, strange, and unusual. From ninjas who are said to transform into panthers, to the peculiar myths and rituals surrounding King Tut's tomb, to Hitler's occult connections, the sinking of the Titanic, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, dreams and nightmares, the Hindenburg disaster, and other subjects. These documentaries provide a rich visual showcase for unexplained phenomena." The series is considered a pioneer in the realm of historical and paranormal investigative television, and is also considered to be something of a cult classic among many fans. The series consists of 26 episodes, written by Erik Nelson and produced by Craig Haffner. It was released on home video in the late 1980s to the early 2000s under the title Secrets of the Unknown. After a brief introduction of what the episode had in store, the opening sequence would feature a series of provocative images to set the tone of the show. A series of 3D images reveal a mansion on top of Devil's Tower. Other images featured the Hindenburg disaster followed by the sinking of the Titanic and a pyramid featuring the all-seeing eye, tarot cards and Stonehenge. The title sequence would form over the mansion with a figure in the window. The figure would turn and reveal himself to be host Edward Mulhare. "It's time for our journey to begin." He would look into an old-fashioned zoetrope machine, which would feature preview images of the episode topic. Mulhare would then throw a switch, powering the mechanisms on the set and begin his opening narration.…
