Chilling episode is quite possibly the series' best, as it tells the tale of the inhabitants of Maple Street, USA, which is experiencing bizarre happenings like the loss of all electricity and phone service, which creates fear and panic in the people. A young boy tells them that he thinks it the work of aliens, and though laughed at, this is exactly what takes hold of their minds, as paranoia and panic start to get out-of-control, and once friendly neighbors start hurling accusations, then objects, at each other, until someone pulls the trigger... Outstanding episode has fine performances by the cast, especially Claude Akins, Jack Weston, and Barry Atwater, all leading to a devastating finale(especially that final narration by Rod Serling) that may leave viewer speechless, at least at the time, and may still today.
