This is my absolute favorite TZ episode. I was always a scifi fan and loved the twist at the end. Agnes Moorehead did a fantastic job as the woman. It was almost a on woman show.
I missed 3, fair I suppose, I thought she used a pump for water, but maybe not, and maybe that's
running water.
A great episode.

A great episode.
This was a GREAT episode but I only got 7 out of 12. Oh well, I'm 70 and I guess my memory isn't what it used to be.
My favorite episode of TZ was "The Howling Man". I remember that it scared the bejezzus out of me when I was a kid and I loved it. Watching the devil "morph" from man to evil monster was riveting.

In my opinion Agnes Moorehead was a very talented actress whose talent was underutilized by the movie studios. Even though she will be remembered as Endora from Bewitched she had other roles which were much more powerful. One of my favorite movies which exhibited her talent is 'The Bat', in which she portrays a mystery writer involved in a real mystery.
7 for 12. PU.
By the way, tonight, 0ct.24, on Antenna TV they are running the 1961 Jack Benny episode "Jack On Trial For Murder" at 10:30. He gets Raymond Burr as Perry Mason to defend him, as who else would you get? Perry Mason fans, check it out.

This episode is a perfect example of how you don't need dialogue to give a great performance...Bela Lugosi was first offered the roll of Frankenstein, but turned it down because it was not a speaking roll. Apparently Boris Karloff was smarter than Bela, because he knew that you don't just act with your voice, you act with your face, expression, and feeling, and therefore took the roll and became a star ! YAY for Boris and Agnes !
Good comments..but let this old 70yr TV trivia nut tell you couple things I remember about this classic episode from memory..! 1. EVERYONE not familiar with that writer " Richard Matheson " , should read about his other great works adapted to tv and films...including the classic episode in this series, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" with William Shatner..another Twilight Zone classic. But here's the REAL TRIVIA bit for you guys: MANY voters have claimed " Scariest TV " show ever aired was Trilogy Of Terror...starring Karen Black..with two of the trilogy stories authored by Richard Matheson. "Amelia", the story considered the scariest involving the Carved Doll...was the first provided story by Richard for this 15th of the 51 Twilight Zone episodes...but was deemed too violent/scary for the time! Thought you all might like that bit of trivia, and I will be back when I have similar morsels...also, Agnes Moorehead was a very accomplished actress and star at the time of this episode.
Agie Moorehead was great. She also doesn't utter a single word during the episode
Agnes Moorehead and Elizabeth Montgomery had exactly the same lines (none) in their respective episodes!
Walk in the park other than #11. Another question -- if she's so ragtag, poor, & debilitated, why are her fingernails always perfect?!?!?
Probably the same reason why nowadays, every single person in movies and on television - including even the most downtrodden characters - has perfect teeth. That is so distracting when even some hobo or something who has supposedly been on the road for decades has these perfect obvious veneers. I understand that apparently the industry requires actors keep perfect teeth, but couldn't they dirty them up or something for some of these roles? It seems very lazy.
Oh and I got only 6 of 12 despite having seen the episode a few times over the years, but who cares.
