A short-lived anthology series, Things That Go Bump in the Night does not seem to have attracted a great deal of viewer attention, and is now extremely obscure. According to Albert Moran, in his Guide to Australian TV Series, 'This series was another short drama series produced in the Sydney studios of the ABC. The series featured Helen Morse fresh from the success of the ABC drama Marion. The program is based on tales of supernatural powers disturbing the residents of a boarding house.'
