3.08 It’s a Good Life

Director: James Sheldon

Director of Photography: George T. Clemens

Writer: Rod Serling, based on a story by Jerome Bixby

Dan Hollis: You monster, you. You dirty little monster. You murderer. You think about me. Go ahead, Anthony. You think bad thoughts about me. And maybe some man in this room, some man with guts, somebody who's so sick to death of living in a place like this, and willing to take a chance, will sneak up behind you and lay something heavy across your skull, and end this once and for all!

Anthony Fremont: You're a bad man! You're a very bad man!

Dan Hollis: You think that. Go ahead, Anthony. I'm a very bad man. Keep thinking that. Somebody sneak up behind him! Somebody end this now while he's thinking about me! Won't somebody take a lamp or a bottle or something and end this!?

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Bailey Bass & Delainey Hayles as Claudia

Of course, we all know dolls can’t really talk, and they certainly can’t commit murder. But to a child caught in the middle of turmoil and conflict, a doll can become many things: friend, defender, guardian. Especially a doll like Talky Tina, who did talk and did commit murder—in the misty region of The Twilight Zone.
