I hear that voice again, 30 July 2008
Author: bushwood80 from Jupiter

Peter Gabriel notwithstanding, this is one of the famous Night Gallery vignettes, which are both funny and haunting, although a bit short. This episode stars Phyllis Diller and John Astin as a former married couple, who meet each other once again at a most inopportune time; in this case, it's a funeral parlor. We later find out that he pushed his wife, Pamela, down the stairs and killed her, and therefore, she is at this funeral home haunting him with her voice, which can be a piercing and grating shrill. He is very smug and is glad he killed her, mainly because of her annoying voice, which he compares to a whistle amongst other loud noises. She calls him a "rotter of a husband" and other vile things as well, as they go back and forth with the insults.

Anyway, there is quite a surprise in store for Pamela's husband Jonathon, which I won't spoil here, but it turns out that there is quite a twist in regards to the killer of Pamela, and this makes for a most entertaining conclusion to this short vignette.
