Terry, I'm that old too and I wasn't allowed to watch those shows by my mother. Of course we had a very small house and the TV was in my room. My Dad was watching so he sorta looked the other way at my NOT looking the other way. And I had nightmares but had to suffer quietly or I'd be found out!

The episode I liked most isn't scary but it is thought provoking. It starred Gig Young as an overstressed, terribly unhappy executive who returns to his childhood small town and happens upon himself as a child. He tries to get his mother to know it is he - her son as an adult come back the the bossum of his youth where he knew happiness. Ultimately he gets good advice from his Dad who tells him, "this is his time (Gig Young's character as a child), not yours. The lesson is simple, You can't go home again but "home" exists for us all within."

For a half hour, black and white show on a shoestring budget it was very well done. Ironically, Gig Young later committed suicide in a case of life imitating art.
