This is simply RMT at its best! The final 10 minutes or so, are maybe the BEST in the series! Perfect music, great acting-- really creepy-- above and beyond! You could just envision the Judge "At the top of the stairs....."

I first taped this one on a cold, rainy Friday night in September (its first broadcast 9/25/81). It was the perfect atmosphere to experience this one in. These episodes really do bring back fond, childhood memories....

Years later, I read the short story this was based on. For the most part, it was quite faithful, except only one person was staying in the house and the end was much grimmer. But, the radio version wouldn't work as well without both Gordon Gould and Lloyd Battista to interact with each other.

This would make a perfect "Night Gallery" episode. Yes, it had the feel of that aformentioned Roddy McDowell tale.

Another Great Choice!!!

Until next time....................
