Trivia The original story by Price Day was first published in the April 1958 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. It came to Rod Serling's attention when it was included in the hardcover anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents: My Favorites in Suspense" (Random House 1959). See more »
Goofs Oliver Crangle's eyesight is obviously very poor, as he has to get very close to written documents, in spite of wearing very thick glasses. Yet, he has no issues seeing objects with his glasses off. He sees his clock from a fair distance as well as the pull on his blind, and multiple times reaching for the bird's food with no groping around at all. This only goes to show that Mr Crangle is extremely far-sighted. See more »

Quotes [closing narration]
Narrator: At four o'clock, an evil man made his bed and lay in it, a pot called a kettle black, a stone-thrower broke the windows of his glass house. You look for this one under 'F' for fanatic and 'J' for justice - in The Twilight Zone.
