Trivia:
Charles Beaumont had originally envisioned that the monks would keep the Devil imprisoned by putting a cross in front of his cell door. Fearful of a backlash in the religious community, the producers substituted the "staff of truth," over Beaumont's objections. more

I saw this episode many years ago when I was a kid. I have been an avid Twilight Zone viewer for a long time and this episode, by far is the best one of all. It is so awesome. To see how the "Devil" worked his way out of that cell just confirms that if you don't know the Lord or believe in a higher power, you are doomed. Everything about this episode amazed and scared me in the same breath. The significance of the story, the make-up, down to the righteous staff of light and truth that was used to conceal him. FANTASTIC!! This is an episode that everyone(religious/spiritual) or not should see. Did anyone else notice that the man whom played the Devil also played Grandpa on Gimme A Break (Nell Carter's show). It's just sad that whenever there is a Twilight Zone Marathon, this episode is never shown. Why? Too much truth I guess. Not everyone can handle the truth.
