Suspenseful stuff

This short-lived anthology series provided half-hour episodes of suspense and the supernatural. Henry Rollins was the Rod Serling-type host, and each episode starred at least one recognizable actor. The episodes can be seen on youtube. The two in question here feature Lou Philips as a wise-mouth FM DJ who eventually gets his comeuppance one dark and stormy night, and Gil Bellows as an ex-alcoholic with a wife and baby who moves into a house that was the site of a murder years ago. That episode plays out like The Shining and Amityville Horror. Both episodes work well because of the acting and tight pacing. No special effects, no fancy sets. And they work just fine without them. Sadly, the show was pulled after one season.
