It looks like fun and I wish I had the stomach for it. It wouldn’t be so fun however when everyone is covered in puke and there’s a dead body with an exploded heart.
LOL! I’m with you.
Twelve oclock noon. An ordinary scene, an ordinary city. Lunchtime for thousands of ordinary people. To most of them, this hour will be a rest, a pleasant break in a days routine. To most, but not all. To Edward Hall, time is an enemy, and the hour to come is a matter of life and death.
Plot:
Edward Hall (Conte), a man with a severe heart condition, believes that if he falls asleep, hell die. On the other hand, keeping himself awake will put too much of a strain on his heart. He believes this due to his constantly overactive imagination.
He believes that his imagination is severely out of control, to the point where hed be able to see and feel something that was not there.
Due to this, his heart condition is especially dangerous. He seeks out the aid of psychiatrist Dr. Elliott Rathmann and explains that he has been dreaming in chapters, as if in a movie serial.
In his dreams, Maya, a carnival dancer, lures him first into a funhouse and later onto a roller coaster in an attempt to scare him to death.
Realizing that Rathmann cannot help him, Hall starts to leave, but stops when he sees that Rathmanns receptionist looks exactly like Maya. Terrified, he runs back into Rathmanns office and jumps out of the window.
In reality, the doctor calls his receptionist, who does in fact look exactly like Maya, into his office, where Hall lies on the couch, his eyes closed.
Rathmann tells the receptionist that Hall came in, lay down, immediately fell asleep, and then a few moments later let out a scream and died. Well, I guess there are worse ways to go, the doctor says philosophically. At least he died peacefully...
Closing narration: (Rod Serling)
