Episode 0069 "The Thing Inside"
Story by Robert Newman, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
An artist and his wife acquire a glass paperweight at an antique shop. The artist is convinced there is something inside the ball and develops an obsession with it. After he breaks the ball there are suddenly two murders near by. His wife suspects that her husband has been taken over by an evil spirit.
I'm afraid the chairs aren't very comfortable, but that doesn't matter because in just a moment you'll be sitting on the edge of them. For we'll be bringing you the tale of the thing inside. A strange and potent force sealed up and held in check that cried to be released and once it was freed, brought terror and death to a whole countryside.
What is evil? Is it abstract or concrete? Does it seek us out, or do we seek it? Either way, there is something in all of us that senses its presence, and when we do, most of us draw back from it in fear. But occasionally, for reasons we do not always understand, we are attracted to it and come under its spell, thus freeing it to work its destruction on an unsuspecting world. Our story begins as John and Sarah Farrar get out of their car and walk towards a rather shabby and rundown antique shop in a small New England village.
