Her personal life is complicated on the day of her engagement party. While out riding, she is terrified by an encounter with a woman all in black, atop a black horse… a visual opposite of her own appearance. This one was also written by Matheson and first aired on 21 February, 1964.Īnne Henderson (Diana Hyland) is a young, attractive heiress, who is engaged and soon to be married, Spur of the Moment is the final episode this week. The extras this time around include sponsor billboards, and a radio version with Ed Begley, jr. There’s no real surprises, there’s no stunning reveal, it’s just a simple story, that is pretty dull.
There isn’t much to save this episode, it’s goofy, and pretty inane. This one is a bit of silly story, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Agnes is sabotaging Elwood’s relationship, because she is in love with him.
But Agnes has her own agenda.Īnd I will say, the computer is a little sexist. He and the computer develop a bit of a rapport, and he turns to the machine for advice on matters of the heart. James Elwood (Wally Cox) is in charge of a new computer, Agnes, after he handily repairs it. Schoenfeld, and directed by Richard Donner, this episode first came to the screens on 14 February, 1964. Long before online dating, and computer matches were a thing, this episode of The Twilight Zone aired. Lastly, there is a radio version starring Mariette Hartley. The extras include an interview with Matheson, an isolated score, a commentary by Zone historian and fan Marc Scott Zircee, who is joined by director Michael Nankin. This one works really nicely, and may be my favourite of the season so far. Then when the reveal of where the calls are coming from (they are not coming from inside the house) is really good, and well-crafted and then the ending… wow. It’s actually quite unnerving and spooky. Soon, there is a faint voice coming from the phone, saying ‘hello’ over and over again. Soon the phone is ringing at all times of day, with nought but static or silence on the other end. First there is only static on the line, but as things progress there are spookier things afoot. It rings constantly through the middle of the night, and begins to haunt her. This episode originally aired on 7 February, 1964, and was penned by the legendary Richard Matheson.Įlva Keene (Gladys Cooper) is living a nightmare, as her phone keeps ringing. It’s back into the depths of The Twilight Zone as I continue my exploration of The Complete Series, now on blu-ray from Paramount Pictures.
