review for the Cemetery, 13 July 2009
Author: bushwood80 from Jupiter

The introduction to the Night Gallery starts off with a bang(pardon the tired expression)pilot episode, which is easily my favorite of the three entitled the Cemetery. Roddy McDowell convincingly stars as Jeremy, the black sheep of the family who is after his dying uncle's fortune and will stop at nothing to inherit said fortune. Ossie Davis stars as Portifoy(a name you'll hear constantly throughout this segment), the uncle's faithful butler/servant of 30 years who's wise to Jeremy and his intentions to inherit and the nephew's ambivalence towards his uncle's fading health. What makes this episode special to me is the atmosphere surrounding the house, mainly the eerie family cemetery, which is only a few yards away from the mansion. The invalid uncle is forced to view the cemetery in his last hours alive, thanks to Jeremy. Another reason this is memorable is the lack of any ridiculous computer generated special effects(granted this is from 1969), and it allows us to use our imagination, especially the suspenseful and creepy conclusion which is quite frightening, if you allow it.
