Goofs | The isolated farm woman leads a meager existence with no luxuries in sight. Her hands, however, in several close ups, show Miss Moorhead's long, tapered, finely manicured and polished fingernails, something that wouldn't have been a consideration for the character. See more » |

Quotes |
[opening narration]
Narrator: This is one of the out-of-the-way places, the unvisited places, bleak, wasted, dying. This is a farmhouse, handmade, crude, a house without electricity or gas, a house untouched by progress. This is the woman who lives in the house, a woman who's been alone for many years, a strong, simple woman whose only problem up until this moment has been that of acquiring enough food to eat, a woman about to face terror, which is even now coming at her from - The Twilight Zone.
