This is one I remember from childhood and the ending stuck with me all these years-- Really Creepy--especially when you're only 11 years old!

The ending is very well done. I love the background music they use during that sequence. Add that to the chiming of midnight and William Redfield's chilling description and you have one of the best climax in the series.

The sequence in the woods to close out the first act is quite effective, too. It also makes a great preview to "Our next Tale" at the end of my copy of "Sea of Troubles" (the episode broadcast the night before this one-- during the first season).

One minor continuity error I noticed was the charcter portrayed by Ralph Bell mentions he was stationed near the Baron's castle during World War One, but then he mentions the "Werewolves" (A Neo-Nazi group that gave the allies trouble at the end of WW II) and that it was thirty years ago (which subtracted from 1974 ((When it was first broadcast)) would be the 1940's. Later, I think he even mentions he was there in 1945. Just a little something I noticed.

Great Choice, especially for this time of year!!!!

Until Next Time................
