Ignore the furry creature on the wing

While I agree with most reviewers on here about this episode, I find it funny that many disparage the outfit that Nick Kravat was forced to wear for this show as the "gremlin." You have to remember that this show was made in 1963. Special effects at that time were much more primitive than they are now. Add to that, I'm sure CBS had The Twilight Zone on a shoe-string budget. So, they had to improvise and quickly, since it was just a 2- or 3-day turnaround for each weekly episode.

When I first saw this episode as a 12-year-old, even the hokey creature on the wing left an indelible impression on me. So, I give them a pass.

A top-notch episode from a top-notch television series.
