About

Though he made three feature films, the ultimate legacy of writer/director Narciso 'Chicho' Ibáñez Serrador remains his groundbreaking 1966-1968 Televisión Española series Historias Para No Dormir. Serrador wrote, directed and introduced every episode, adapting stories by Ray Bradbury, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Bloch and his own material under the pseudonym Luis Peñafiel.
