A real treat for series' fans! The keeper of the graveyard is actor Frank Silvera who convincingly plays his part to the hilt. His domain is both atmospheric and eerie. His friends are the mummified bodies of dead "tenants" whose rented burial plots are in arrears, so he unearths them and lines their corpses along the walls of his catacomb, deep below the graveyard. He brags that it takes only "one year in the dry earth" to produce his companions.
A scene to keep you on the edge of your seat is when Juan Diaz's son and wife venture into the depths of darkness to put into action their scheme of revenge. Photographed in shadows and back-lit silhouettes, this scene exemplifies the beauty of black and white photography, and it's perfectly edited to create intense, cinematic suspense.
Even though this episode is filmed on a Universal sound stage with a few back lot locales thrown in for good measure, the art department did a convincing job in its depiction of a poor, Mexican village.
Definitely one of the TEN BEST episodes in the series.
