    Truly, I'm not making that up.


    SPOILER ALERT - - - - - - - -
















    And then when the earwig comes out the other end of his head, and he's survived, the doctors come in and tell him that they earwig layed eggs inside his brain.

    Eye of the beholder - where the beautiful woman is seen as hidious.

    Night Call - where the old lady is able to talk to her dead husband (and the phone line leads to his grave)

    A Stop at Willoughby is awesome too.

    If you like Twighlight Zone, Night Gallery and Tales from the Crypt (I love all three), be sure to check out the little mentioned Disney film "Something Wicked This Way Comes" inc. a demon who later plays a loving father governor in another DIsney film series ;-)

    Also, I recommend the work of Neil Gaiman (though be warned, some of it is sick and perverted), but overall very cool.

    Ah yes..."Something Wicked..." starred Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce...with beard and hair. :)

    (For you Doctor Who fans, Pryce played The Master to Rowan Atkinson's Doctor in 1999's Comic Relief spoof "The Curse of Fatal Death")

    PS: Oh... and I would always enjoy the original TZ series when they ran during the day and when there were marathons.

    I was reviewing my VCR tapes (before tossing them) and came across this just the other day!

    Wasn't there a Star Trek scene with Chekov having some earwig-type thing go into his ear?
