Night Visions was an American television anthology series created in the style of The Twilight Zone. Each hour-long episode was made up of two half-hour stories that dealt with themes of the supernatural or simply explored the dark side of human nature. Henry Rollins was the uncredited host of the show. Besides Rollins, the show featured many big names including Lou Diamond Phillips, Cary Elwes, Malcolm McDowell, Stephen Baldwin, Thora Birch, Natasha Lyonne, Bill Pullman, Brian Dennehy, Bridget Fonda, Sherilyn Fenn, Jason London, Jack Palance, Jay Mohr, Luke Perry, and Pam Grier, among others.
The episodes also featured various directors. Some were famous and well-established, such as Tobe Hooper. Some, like Brian Dennehy, JoBeth Williams, and Bill Pullman, were actors trying their hands at directing. Other directors include Joe Dante, Paul Shapiro, Ian Toynton, Jefery Levy, Ernest R. Dickerson, Keith Gordon, and Bryan Spicer.
The show only lasted for one season. All but six episodes aired during the series' original run on the FOX Network. All of the episodes were shown when broadcast in repeats on the Sci-Fi Channel. Four of the originally unaired episodes (Patterns, The Maze, Harmony, and Voices) were edited into the Sci-Fi Channel film Shadow Realm, minus the Rollins introductions and the Night Visions name.
As of 2008, the series is being broadcast on the satellite-only Chiller network.
