Audio Version of Classic Episode

This review is for the Twilight Zone audio drama. It is difficult to recreate the classic episode, since the visual reference makes it stand out. I thought they did a good job on this one, I enjoyed the pilot trying to calm him claiming they knew all about it. John Schneider was wonderful and they had a great cast.

Agree with Duck, with Exception

It is not like this is expensive. I agree that this does not work as well on radio and certainly can not compete with William Shatner or John Lithgow, but it is not a waste of money. It was entertaining and just hearing Stacy Keach is worth a dollar.

Great story. Does not work well as a radio drama.

A very visual story. Sadly as such it doesn't transfer well at all to the radio/audio format. Too bad, since this really is a great story filled with that spooky T Z feeling.

If you've seen the original episode with William Shatner, or even the Twilight Zone Movie segment with John Lithgow, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

John Schneider does what he can, but comes nowhere near Shatner's or Lithgow's performances. Actually he sounds more nervous than a man in terror stricken panic.
