Hello-

since this is one of my personal favorites- one that I\'ve pushed forward since I\'ve joined this site- I feel obliged to comment and even defend it, or, at least explain why I like it so much. This is definitely one episode though, I\'ll admit, that none of my many RMT fan friends like as much as I do-

a couple of notes first-

as far as it being a good or bad choice for Halloween- well, a Halloween story should naturally have monsters in it, and the real monster in it is all too human. Still, it\'s not often heard- and for that reason alone it deserves some attention

yes, it is definitely of lesser audio quality, not a good encode at all- but that\'s not the episode\'s fault. Those who collected RMT in the last 10 years or show might remember this one as being one of the few \"lost\" episodes for a while. I did not get a copy until about 5 years ago, after several years of searching for it. Unfortunately this is the best we\'ve got at this point.

OK, why I like it so much-

for personal reasons this is the most vivid RMT memory of my youth. I heard the show on its repeat airing, which was in summer of 76 I believe. I can remember exactly where I was when I heard, the time of day (early evening) and who was with me when I heard it. I can remember I was in a cold sweat by the time it was over. Of course, I was only 9 at the time...

but in any case, this was the turning point for RMT for me- the one show I can point to which made me a fan for the rest of my life- and as such to me it is tremendously important.

OK, to move away from the personal aspect, and to point toward other reasons why this show should be heard:

this is a Henry Slesar episode, who IMO, was one of the finest writers RMT employed. Read some of his murder mystery stories in Alfred Hitchcock anthology sometimes.

this is a ghost who is actually out there killing people, rather than merely scaring them

I find the scene where the sister sees the other\'s reflection, and the continual cry of \"Heather...\" to be both visually and mentally disturbing

the real horror in this episode, and one of the most dreadful horrors perpetrated in any RMT episode, does not come from the ghost, but rather, from the reason why she became one. I encounter the severely handicapped every day in my job, which is why the treatment of the handicapped sister just grabs me to the core- indeed her revenge is more than just.

In essence, this episode is what personally makes me a RMT fan, and brings me to this website, which I\'ve always enjoyed so much. So I apologize if this episode did not strike the same chord with you as with me!<br><br>
