was one of the scariest things I've ever seen on TV. The only scary TV episode that compares to it for chills was "The Hungry Glass" episode on Thriller where old crones living in the mirrors of an old house come out and try to drag people back into their mirror world, starring William Shatner 5 years before Star Trek (written by Robert Bloch who also wrote the story of Psycho).
