Say, how appropriate was it for Mr. Smith (George Macready) to be directed to a used car salesman for what was to be a mystical connection to bring his son back from the dead? A used car salesman! If that isn't classic, I don't know what is. However I had to replay the section a number of times when Honest Abe/Nicolai (Abraham Sofaer) calls his book of black magic 'Mysteries of the Worm'. Did I get that right? That's sure what it sounded like.
Well you could see where this one was headed fairly early on. I think the bigger mystery for me was how weird tailor Eric (Henry Jones) ever hooked up with his pretty wife Anna (Sandra Kerr), and how they remained married considering all the abuse he heaped on her. I know, it was a different time and all, but after a while one reaches their limit.
I guess that limit was reached by the end of the story. If I were directing the show, I don't think I would have had the suit dummy Hans use that goofy robotic motion to go after Eric. Something more menacing would have fit the bill much better. Nevertheless, this is one of those classic Thriller episodes that gets etched in your memory after you've seen it, a tale well suited for viewers who appreciate the bizarre.
