Everybodys favorite horror writer Robert Bloch, who wrote 10 episodes for Hitch, including PSYCHO, penned this claustrophobic tale of tales.
Two dynamic actresses also make the case. Beatrice Straight plays a widow who returns to a secluded cabin, her home away from home, just to get away from it all. Little does she realize -- her surprise guest (played so well by Fay Spain) -- may be a maniac on the loose. But there's a bit more to the story as you will see, which puts it over the top, and all us fans just loved.
The camp dialogue between the two is priceless as they spend a lot of time together. More over, this story is very similar to a previous season episode featuring character actor Robert H. Harris, stuck in an empty train station with another man, both suspecting the other of being an escaped lunactic. Sound familiar?
Veteran film and radio actor Donald Buka plays the man at the door, turning in an excellent performance. Pat Hitchcock has a bit role as Straight's daughter, a very good actress in her own right.
Robert Bloch definitely at his creative best, who at the time was also writing some classic material for Boris Karloff's tv show, THRILLER.
