The Twilight Zone - Night Call

The idea of having the opportunity to speak to a deceased loved one would be incredible in so many ways
Apart from the comfort of being able to speak to them one more time, imagine the knowledge they coukd give you about their reality

[@chadczternastek]

Wow, am I so glad I found these. I was always a Twilight Zone fan, as well as a radio fan. Found myself not listening with the transition to the internet to do everything, I dropped listening for awile. Then I had a traumatic injury and PTSD and insomnia followed. I find these here better medicine than anything. Thank you for posting these. I liked the old dramas on the radio, mysteries and never knew the had The Twilight Zone on radio. Now I do.

[@PlaceStillMatters]

You and I are one in the same. Though I don’t have PTSD I have a brain that never stops generating ideas or remembering the most inane minutiae from childhood or invents s*** for me to worry about. Insomnia is my constant companion . . . but these audio stories are a balm to make the long nights more bearable. I sometimes even fall back asleep. I hope your condition improves, my friend!

♡♡♡ RIGHT AT THE VERY MOMENT BRIAN TOLD HER THAT HE WILL DO AS SHE SAID, TO LEAVE HER ALONE, I WAS LIKE, "WHAT? NO!... NO! NO! NO! DO NOT GO. KEEP TALKING TO HER!"
AS HE WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE, I WAS LIKE, "DAMN, LADY. YOU MESSED UP REAL BAD. THAT WAS YOUR CHANCE TO RECONNECT WITH HIM. YOU BLEW IT."
NOBODY CAN BLAME HER, THOUGH. THAT WAS ACTUALLY A SAD ENDING FOR HER.
SHE COULD HAVE KEPT CHATTING WITH HIM EVERYDAY UNTIL SHE EXPIRES, TOO. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY COMFORTING FOR HER UNITL THE END.
FYI: I NEVER FOUND IT CREEPY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, SINCE, SOMETIMES, I HAVE THE TENDENCY TO BE THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. I WAS MORE CURIOUS, BECAUSE I WAS JUST AN OBSERVER. ♡♡♡
P.S. I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE A ROMANTIC-DRAMATIC TRAGEDY MOVIE OUT OF THIS. IT GIVES ME THE "SPIRIT" MOVIE VIBES, WHILE THE SONG, "UNCHAINED MELODY" IS PLAYING. ♡♡♡

You listen to this every night?

[@cdiane1602]

One of my favorite episodes. I really like the TV version too.

[@d.christmassnow1113]

This is very well done for a radio drama. I remember the original episode from The Twilight Zone. The only thing that is "off" is Miss Finch told her to disconnect her service. In reality, she'd have told her to change the number to stop the calls.In those old school days, that's what people did. or trace the calls. Disconnecting was never mentioned to a customer by the phone company. They wanted that money.

[@spookyvegan1402]

WHOA THIS EPISODE gave me the biggest chills

[@spookyvegan1402]

@The mysterious Miss X YES!!!! I agree

[@spookyvegan1402]

@The mysterious Miss X I feel like I never ever see this episode when they have the marathons.. I don’t know why because it’s one of the very best episodes in my opinion

[@AustinTXSlasher]

Yep, definitely got the chills from this one. That ending...

[@bonfire3283]

Absolutely brilliant ❤

favorite episode

[@loreleiandrews8989]

I'm sure Margaret the nurse is trying to be upbeat & positive for Miss Keene's sake, & that hearing a constant stream of negativity gets tiresome.
However, if I were old, alone, & disabled I wouldn't want to repeatedly hear a young(er), able-bodied person I'm paying to be with me tell me my feelings aren't valid & that I have a bunch of invisible friends who - for some reason - can't bother to visit, but still love & care about me. LOL. Like, how would that make it better? Margaret can leave the house, drive, date, see her friends & family, go dancing, take a walk, work out, play sports, have sex, etc, while her elderly charge can do none of those things but visit with her friends, & then we're back to that; she has none. What a sad & frustrating life.

[@stephanieconsi4825]

This is a great point! I imagined Margaret as a married woman who went home to her family every night. No single, young female has a spare television!!! Lolol. Love your comment.

[@LisaSimpson2]

Exactly! Very well said and completely spot on! I can just imagine and know exactly how that would feel! For your feelings, fears, worries and genuine concerns not to be validated and just to be wrote off and swept under the carpet and put down to her age/disability. She's so alone, house bound, being misunderstood, vulnerable, alone and isolated. That is actually almost just as scary as the phone calls from beyond the grave themselves which is pretty disturbing. Very good point! This is a great episode and definitely one of the more disturbing stories 🤗👍

I like this episode a lot but telephones have a switch to turn the ringer off. Back to the 70s at least, 60s I think too, didn't they?

[@vulcanraven9701]

It's not her fault that he never told her his identity. Whispering into a phone at night (anonymously) is creepy as hell.

Good acting though

[@MisterSuitcase2004]

It's actually a radio drama

[@rossi6113]

Good acting?? "Margaret" is dreadful. Wooden as hell and reading from her script. The other lady is excellent.

[@diamondrosa6207]

@@MisterSuitcase2004 can i get the video for this?

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@rossi6113 The performance of the actress playing companion/nurse Margaret is a bit low key but she is absolutely *not* dreadful.

[@stephanieconsi4825]

Agreed!!! I came to the comments to see if I could find out who played Margaret. I can only guess how difficult it must be to sit in a studio and make this sound realistic. I believed all of it and loved it.

[@guadalupegranados8876]

I hate mrs keen. Maybe phones are new. But this dummys problem solving is super painful. Maybe cut out that part or shorten it. All else is fine. I was more pissed than scared.

[@rossi6113]

This is a great story completely ruined by the shocking "acting" (allegedly) of "Margaret". Wooden as hell and clearly reading from her script.

[@jimreily7538]

I thought she was quite good. In any case, it's definitely a top story. Richard Matheson wrote this - a brilliant writer. He wrote the story for Duel, Spielberg's first big movie. Similar themes in a way, with the sort of bizarre unknown antagonist.

[@inthegoldenrodhours333]

Margaret sounds condescending, and someone who, as a professional care-giver, is suppressing her impatience with a needy client. I think the actress plays the part perfectly.

[@stephanieconsi4825]

I disagree. I thought Mariette Hartley did an incredible job. She disguised her voice perfectly to play an older, fearful woman. In reality, she couldn’t have been near this age in real life when this was taped.

[@RoyPage1970]

​@@stephanieconsi4825what the hell are you talking about she is an elderly woman

[@RoyPage1970]

​@@stephanieconsi4825it was taped about 2005 and she was probably about at least 63 years old or older old enough
