"They had to do a life mask with the cast in advance. After we were done filming, Ida Lupino told us we could keep the masks because they would not be needed. I used to have my mask for many years, but I don't recall what happened to it."

syndication package—because NG (like Sixth Sense) was cancelled too early to have enough episodes on its own.

Which, when you think about it, reflects Serling’s approach on The Twilight Zone.
And yeah, I don’t blame you on the Sixth Sense episodes—which, as you may know, were part of a separate series later grafted onto Night Gallery proper simply to give it the right number of episodes for the

Agreed! Serling’s first idea was to use wax figures, but the painting idea was even better. :) One correction: During its initial run it was, incredibly enough, the work of one artist, Tom Wright, who proved adept at painting in many different styles.

Exactly the way I feel! I think the key is to approach it not as a follow up to TZ, which sets up impossible expectations, but as its own separate series, which is indeed tremendous fun most of the time. :)

"Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this -- the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance -- then *we* become the gravediggers." (2/2)

I couldn’t agree more, Mark! This one is a huge favorite of mine. For some reason, though, a good number of TZ fans aren’t that crazy about it. They think it’s just okay. But I love the pure mind-twistiness of it and that mad-carnival atmosphere. Great stuff.

I agree. I’ve always liked this one — it’s a great story. But it could be more economically told.

100%, Tom. I remember watching the other live teleplays that came with the set I bought with Patterns and Requiem for a Heavyweight and being surprised that anything this sophisticated was ever broadcast on commercial television.
