The last time I watched any first-run "Twilight Zone" episodes was a week before I graduated from high school in 1964. All through my high school years I watched several of this unforgettable series, probably the most far-fetched series in the history of television. But this particular episode stands out in my memory more than others. (On a side note, initially this episode reminded me of the episode "Where is Everybody?!" which starred Earl Holliman.) Imagine how anyone would feel, as did the main characters (played well by Barry Nelson and Nancy Malone) waking up in an artificial house in a town where everything else is artificial, and finding not one person in the small town. It would be strange, at best, though the main characters felt very uncomfortable as well as strange. I'll just say it: this is definitely the scariest episode of this series I ever saw. I had to watch something comical after that particular episode, and it's mainly because of the ending. In all my years of watching any movie and/or TV series, I don't think I saw anything scarier. The episode is creative and well-done, but the ending is frightening!
