*cowers in the corner*
This episode of the 1960's series One Step Beyond absolutely terrified me as a child.
I remember that my mother had to walk me upstairs and certify that nothing was hiding in my closet. I remember being utterly convinced that my doll Suzy was lying in wait for me. Half an hour of television that I obviously had no business watching had completely wrecked my mind.
I saw it once on TV many years later, and just watched it again online. And, yeah, there's still enough creepiness to it... let's just say that if John Sheppard ever watched it that would explain why he believes that clowns are scary....

SQUEALS LOUDLY!!!
Thank you very much for this, it is utterly cool!
I loved Rodney freaking out about the hair, lol. And 'the terror of low budget television' sums things up pretty neatly.
I can remember wracking my little brain about whether or not there was a water source in Pippo's (insert Rodney snort) trailer. What did I know at that age? *g* I think I felt that there should have been water in a trailer, but then the line about Pippo being (surprisingly) soaking wet didn't make as much sense.
*cue the creepy music and scary announcer* :-)

But as we all know, the worst of the worst is often the best! ...I know what I mean.
*grins* So happy you liked it!
