The Twilight Zone: Long Distance Call (1961)
Season 2, Episode 22
8/10
I didn't like it as much as most people
29 July 2018
Here we have a grandmother who dies shortly after her grandson turns 5. She gave him a toy telephone for his birthday. After she dies, she communicates with him from the dead and wants him to join her. That is, for him to die too. I didn't think this was that great an episode as most people think. I thought it was kind of psychotic because she seriously wanted a 5 year old to die?!

The acting is still great. Did the mom really break the phone? It looked fine to me. The pacing is still rather nice. I had heard of this episode and it was nothing like I expected. It's a little predictable, but good for the most part. ***
