Success at any price causes ventriloquist Cliff Robertson to really loose it in this horrific "Twilight Zone" episode that takes Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd one step further to creepy ville, sending Robertson over the edge when he believes that his star dummy, Willie (obviously based upon the wisecracking Charlie) has come to life and trying to drive him mad. Who wouldn't believe that after he destroys the wrong dummy and continues to hear Willie harassing him?
Another truly great episode is one of the ones whom I remember from many years ago watching Twilight Zone marathons, and it hasn't lost its impact in those 30 years and the twist is really eerie. Robertson is fantastic, and the voice of Willie as scary as later horror villains Freddie and Jason, but the climax much less bloody yet even more horrific. It's an episode that might indeed give you nightmares!
