QuoteAfter Night Gallery was cancelled, many of the artworks used to introduce the stories were either altered for use in other productions, or sold by Universal Studios. Most of them remain in private hands, but occasionally, one will surface at an auction house. Surprisingly, there have been known cases of forgeries of some of these paintings. In December of 2002, two forgeries were offered in an online auction from Sotheby's through eBay. One of the forgeries was pulled before the auction began, but the fact that forgeries even exist, and that people are willing to risk purchasing one serves as proof that these iconic paintings still generate public interest.

Does anyone know what happened to the paintings on Night Gallery?

The book page linked above implies that they are located in different places.

What everyone has posted previously is true. I do know that some compare it unfavorablely to Rod Serling's Twilight Zone, but, I, for one like it better. Maybe because I did not find it as scary as Rod Serling's previous series. I also know that Leslie Nielsen got his start as a comic actor with his portrayal of the Phantom of the Opera in that blackout spot on Night Gallery. While he was doing his comic bit, he looked around and saw the crew shooting it were falling all over themselves laughing, and that was when he realized he could do comedy. As for myself, while it has been years since I saw that blackout spot, it is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen on TV.
