He was checked out by medical personnel, who removed the earwig, to the relief of the man with a headache. The next morning, the man who initiated the plan woke up with a debilitating headache. The night of the assault was very dark, and the native went into the wrong window, and placed the earwig in the ear of the wrong man. One of the men wanted to get rid of the other man, so he hired a native to place an “earwig” (an insect that devours whatever is in front of it) in the ear of his rival at night while he slept, causing death as the earwig ate through his brain. There was a love triangle – 2 men, 1 woman. I’ve only seen the program once, but here’s what I remember: the story was set in the jungle. The lesson I learned has affected me every night of my life. I hope you can identify the program for me. When I was a little girl (1950s/1960s), I watched a science fiction program – not sure if it was TZ or Night Gallery or Hitchcock or other.

Remember that when he comes to your town. Where will he go next, this phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare - Chicago Los Angeles Miami, Florida Vincennes, Indiana Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there’s hate, where there’s prejudice, where there’s bigotry. But who’s to say at some distant moment there might be an assembly line producing a gentle product in the form of a grandmother whose stock in trade is love? Fable, sure, but who’s to say?

Here, in chronological order, are the episodes with no mention of “the Twilight Zone” at the end, along with the ending narration: So I decided to check it out and make it official. And although I was able to name some others myself without going down the list of episodes, I wasn’t sure I was getting all of them. Many fans know one off the top of their heads: Season 4’s “He’s Alive,” in which Dennis Hopper plays a neo-Nazi. That begs a logical question for uber-fans such as myself: Which ones are they? That leaves 149 where he does say it, so these seven are clearly the exception to the rule. In fact, there are seven episodes that don’t use the phrase at all. And you can count on him saying “the Twilight Zone,” often after a perfect little pause.Īt least most of the time you can count on that.
