Judith Evelyn shines in this suspense episode, 7 November 2009
10/10
Author: millerman_annie from United States
Judith Evelyn is hardly a household name today, but she most certainly left a considerable amount of unforgettable performances that would make her a candidate for screen immortality, who can't forget her miss loneyhearts in her perhaps most famous film role in Hitchcock's's "rear window",and of course the deaf mute victim in Wm castle's "the tingly", I especially was fond of her black fairy portrayal in the "shirley temple storybook" rendition of sleeping beauty, which can only show you her remarkable versatility. in this suspense episode she can portray fear, suspicion and dread without one line of dialog and even color it with deep compassion as well. granted the show has its share of live TV bloopers(an appearance of a technician in a doorway for a few seconds and is quickly made to disappear, thanks to a handy techs hand to whisk hi-mm off the set) but that's part of the charm of making live TV episodes,coupling with miss Evelyn's work a joy to behold and have forever..."'.
"When the power goes out in Mrs. Collins's house, she walks to a table to grab a flashlight. The table lamp is still on and casting a shadow on the curtains.".
"In closeup, Mrs. Collins turns, sees the person behind her, and loudly screams even though her mouth is closed. The scream was prerecorded and was supposed to play after the director cut to a different shot, but it was played before the cutaway.".

At about 9:22, a crew member can be seen through the open doorway. He stands watching, not realizing he's in the shot, until a stage hand pulls him out of view at about 9:31.

[@Suspense1949]

Lol.

[@georgewilliams6251]

Just like watching "Dark Shadows," bloopers and all. But the person who pulled away the stage hand is the one who ruined the "save." After all, there is supposed to be someone lurking in the house. If he had simply been told to move, no problem. I even caught something like this on "Happy Days," in one of the episodes filed on a sound stage.

[@megangarland2229]

Thank you for these uploads! Something different from another time.

[@Suspense1949]

You're welcome!! Glad to...

[@rafaelramirez9109]

WOW! I LOVE THESE TYPE OF SHOWS...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR POSTING!!!

[@Suspense1949]

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!

Saw what looked like a woman in the background in her house. All in all, it seemed like a twisted tale of events.(ls)

[@liannemettam3536]

loved this episode!

[@kevinquinn1993]

The music is at the same moment captivating and grating. That's not a complaint, mind you, as I find it to be an integral part of this nostalgic experience, which demonstrates the strong influence of its radio roots.
I also really enjoyed the Auto-Lite commercial at the beginning. Nice touch leaving it in.

[@Suspense1949]

You're welcome! I'm guessing (since I haven't checked) that others that upload episodes of this series do NOT include the commercials as I do because their videos are shorter (of the same episodes, that is).

[@georgewilliams6251]

Suspense1949 Nice of you to do it. Adds to the flavor. BTW, is "The Monkey's Paw," with Boris Karloff available?

[@miapdx503]

The music fits! You said it perfectly.

[@ronniem3592]

Charlie reminds me so much of a psychotic Tom Cruise

[@charlesdowns1691]

are they any way to see more than 90 episodes? ( the lost episodes) is all i can find. rex marshall mentions the next episode and stars after each show but i cant find any others than 90 episodes.

[@Suspense1949]

Don't know.

[@georgewilliams6251]

At first, I thought this was going to turn out to be an earlier version of "The Storm" from "Boris Karloff's Thriller."

[@megangarland2229]

I really enjoyed 'The Storm'; brilliant acting from lead actress.
