need help finding an episode • need help finding an episode

Need help finding an episode possibly of night gallery or of the twilight zone. I tried my best to search it online but I cant find evidence of it existing or the episode. The episode is about a a disfigured man that is stranded during a storm, where he is taken in by a kind hearted blind woman. Because she's is blind, she doesn't see his appearance but instead interacts with him based solely on his personality. Over time he warms up to her and they fall in love. If anyone has a link to this episode that would be awesome. Any help will be appreciated. thank you (:





Night Gallery trivia • Night Gallery trivia

I found these interesting nuggets on the imdb website:

Artist Thomas J. Wright painted all of the paintings used to introduce each story.

John Astin appeared in three separate episodes of this show. During each episode, his character was killed, and during two episodes, his character found himself in Hell. He also directed three episodes of the show. (Btw, John Astin is still alive at age 94).

Conceived as an updating of "The Twilight Zone" concept, Serling reportedly began planning the series soon after "The Twilight Zone" (1959) was cancelled in 1964.

Two segments, and possibly a third, were directed by Steven Spielberg. According to the book, "Rod Serling's Night Gallery: An After Hours Tour", Spielberg was scheduled to direct the 1971 vignette "A Matter of Semantics" starring Cesar Romero. Those involved with the production are unclear in their memory as to whether Spielberg directed the piece, which was ultimately credited to Jack Laird. At least one actor involved in the two-minute mini-episode recalls a director who more closely fits Spielberg's description than Laird's. Beginning with the second season, and despite Rod Serling's objections, the producers began to insert brief one to three minute "blackout comedy" sketches in between main segments of some episodes, usually when an episode was running short. The merits of these brief vignettes remain controversial among this show's fans to this day.

Rod Serling had originally conceived of a show like this one when he was still working on "The Twilight Zone" (1959). He had originally wanted to change the stories to be shown during the final season from fantasy to horror (the genre he preferred), but CBS adamantly refused to agree to it. Unfortunately for Serling, on this show, he did not have the same kind of control over the program like he did on "The Twilight Zone" (1959), as he was just the host and occasional story contributor. Serling frequently clashed with the show's producer over the quality of stories shown on the program.

Sculptors Logan Elston and Phil Vanderlei did all of this show's sculptures.

How do you all feel about a Night Gallery “reboot”? • How do you all feel about a Night Gallery “reboot”?

I started this sub so people could discuss Rod Sterling’s original Seventies horror anthology series. I’ve been seeing press releases for decades announcing that various producers are attempting a remake, but then nothing inevitably happens. Was hoping Guillermo del Toro would take a crack at it, but he created his own anthology series Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. Latest news I’ve read is the Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis is bringing a Night Gallery reboot to SyFy. Any thoughts?


Help me find specific episode • Help me find specific episode

I am trying to find an episode where there’s a family that has a kid and everyone is afraid of him. They do anything he says because if he gets mad he can destroy them or something. But he’s just a kid. I really want to find it.

Here’s the issue - I watched outer limits a lot, too, and am not 100% sure it’s a night gallery episode.

I hope one of you knows the answer 🙂

Episodes include: The Phantom of Herald Square Dark Vengeance Doorway To Death The Graveyard Shift

Just recently discovered this series and have been interested since. The writing is superb, the content is deep and thought-provoking, and the visuals/atmosphere are deliciously eerie. How a series this good slipped through the hands of horror anthology chatter or popularity mentions is beyond me, unless I just missed it. Very similar in tone and writing to Rod Serling's Night Gallery and The Twilight Zone. Highly recommended watch if you're into paranormal and eerie subject matter with retro special effects/cinematography. I picked four episodes, made them B&W, and made it widescreen for a more theatrical look. Definately worth a watch and might do another marathon of maybe four more episodes maybe as I get more episodes warched. Enjoy.






Least Favorite Eps/Most Disappointing Endings? • Least Favorite Eps/Most Disappointing Endings?

Hey, hey! New NG fan here! Hopefully this sub is still thriving!

I'm currently going through all of the episodes on DVD, and there are so many that I enjoy. That said, there have definitely been some episodes that I feel fall flat and short, despite promising beginnings. Since we already have a thread going to talk about our favorite episodes, I would love to know what your least favorite episodes are!

Presently, mine are "The Nature of the Enemy" and "Pickman's Model." I think my disappointment in these episodes mostly comes from the fact that someone told me these were two of the best, scariest episodes in the series, and I just... do not agree. Additionally, I found "Lindemann's Catch," "Death on a Barge," and "Return of the Sorcerer" to be almost unwatchable, though when it comes to "Lindemann's Catch", its laughable ending saves it.

What're your thoughts?!
