This is my personal favorite out of all the episodes in the series- which is not an easy task to select !
I don't know where to begin,citing the myriad traits of a perfect ghost or horror tale,if you will;
John Newland is simply superb...and you have,to boot,a stellar supporting cast such as Oscar Beregi,for example,as the intrepid minister;
Music is appropriate and the ambiance is top notch ! For its the mood which compels one to revisit this overlooked classic.
The special effects are fine for the time and the sounds emitted in combo provoke a particular chill;and the black and white cinematography is just right.
The pace is splendid and never flags-it keeps building towards some type of crescendo of pure evil... and,yet,how delicious when our tale ends with logical resolution so we might get on with a possible good night's rest...or a diverting dream...or...?
