Did You Know?
| Trivia | In his introduction to "New Stories from the Twilight Zone", the series' executive story consultant Alan Brennert admitted that he thought that his script for "Healer" was so badly directed and acted that he took his name off of it. It is credited to Michael Bryant. He later rewrote "Healer" as an expanded short story. See more » |

Bob Spindler:
[after looking away while driving, swerves off the road to plow into a tree to avoid a collision]
