Old Winding Lane (Owl Enterprises)

Thank you for reacting to this episode - again, written by Joseph Srefano. I love both the premise and structure of this episode and absolutely admire the over-the-top yet ultimately moving performance by Miriam Hopkins as the jilted bride awaiting for another victim to 'take the place' of her beloved. At its core, the script is about the nature of EVIL . . . Along with it the concept of forbidden knowledge - Opening the box represents giving in to our destructive impulses, accepting their lure, and 'poking' into matters meant to be left alone (symbolized by looking through the peephole - to become a witness to that which never should have been seen). The older woman spends decades trapped in a psychological time capsule, letting her life rot away because she cannot accept the loss of her soon-to-be-husband on her wedding day. She is the avatar, the cipher, through which is channeled the plans of the creature, the extraterrestrial, in that box - It must be reliant upon HER and her vulnerabilities. She is. ultimately, a weak and disordered woman, yet she is not nearly as weak as the creature within the box whose intentions for destruction, ironically, MUST RELY upon the failings of this very damaged woman. Pure evil is, in fact, an energy and, like all forms of energy, it needs to be transmitted in order to have any effect. It must be precise, and ultimately rely upon human weakness, vanity and poor choices to trap each new victim. Evil waits - for humans to give it form, life and sustenance. This script is very much in line with the works of prolific and celebrated science-fiction/macabre writer Ray Bradbury. If you are not familar with him, you may open the link I have provided here: https://www.arts.gov/honors/medals/ray-bradbury I look forward to another of your reaction videos. Thank you. Your Friend, James

Saw this years ago and was also confused. That said, has a nice weird dark mood with a scary monster.

So you saw the headline about an intended alien invasion. The scientist who said that, was ridiculed especially by the father of the 1929 groom. So the scientist is now bitter and pretends to be a delivery guy and gives the box as a wedding gift as revenge. Because the groom wouldn't help the creature in the box, he ended up saving earth because the alien invasion couldn't happen. Also you can't be trashing our young bride's dress! It was a perfectly wonderful dress by the standards of 1964. Really it was! :) Another item is that they referenced age of consent to be married. That made up number varies in each US state and it has changed over time. Even into the 1980s if teens in many places in the US ran away to get married, it would mostly raise some eyebrows (and piss off some family members probably), but it wasn't the end of the world. A final note about the great Miriam Hopkins who was the star here. She has her own interesting background, but when I see her name I always think of a scene she had with the great Bette Davis. Here is the clip where a younger Miriam Hopkins is on the left and the incomparable Bette Davis is on the right: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/03minX6stcg
