Patty McCormick?
You nailed it.
That episode haunted my childhood. I couldn’t sleep with the drapes open, even into my early teens.
Did anyone ever produce a huge coffee table type book with all of the episodes included? I would think it would sell very well.
Enjoyed it! Thanks.
YankeeReb writes - “That was always the secret of the Twilight Zone the writing was just amazing.”
Oh my yes! Just reading over this thread brings one GREAT story after another, and some from so many other anthology format shows - The Outer Limits, The Alfred Hitchcock Show, and others. What happened to that kind of great literary television....

Again, you can watch many classic episodes of the Twilight Zone free online at this CBS link below.
Note that on each of the 3 ‘seasons pages’ listed there are 2 pages of episodes. (click the little arrow for the 2nd page)

Takes place in a prison. One prisoner devises a plan to escape. There is another prisoner - an old man - who helps in the graveyard.
The prisoner who wants to escape convinces the old man to help him. What he will do is crawl into the coffin of another prisoner that died and will be buried in the prison graveyard. The old man is supposed to remove the dirt off the coffin and then the prisoner will get out of the coffin and then escape.
So that's what happens. But we see the prisoner in the coffin waiting to hear the shovel remove the dirt but he doesn't hear anything. He starts to panic then turns to the dead guy and the dead guy is the old man who is supposed to be digging the prisoner up.
So I’m not crazy...or we both are!
Indeed, it doesn’t take much for a good story. Just some good writing and acting. I can’t imagine the same type of series on television today, sadly. We don’t have to watch the Twilight Zone; we’re living in it now.
Think that one is “The Midnight Sun”
That was called Little Girl Lost. The person who wrote it was inspired by his personal experience. His little girl was crying and when he went into her room he could not find her anywhere. Eventually he discovered that she had slipped down between the side of the bed and the wall and was stuck there. She was not on the floor so he could not see her by just looking under the bed.
That is my favorite episode also.
Remember how they let the dog in the house and it ran through the bed stand door and was with her.
The DVD’s are about $1 (used) on Amazon!

She thought she was a regular person looking for an item to purchase and was taken to the 13th floor so the next mannequin could go on vacation.<<<<<<
That’s one I remember well, too. Will have to go watch some of these again.
THANKS FOR THAT LINK!!!!!

Think it was "The Last Pallbearer" where Joseph Wiseman, a pretty intense actor anyway, invites three people from his past who broke his chops, into his bunker. He's a rich man now and sets up a video showing the end of the world in order to convince them to stay, and be humiliated by him in turn. The dialogue, written by Serling, in that bare one-room setting had me riveted to the screen.
Not a TZ episode, but the only one that rattled my cage when I was an adult (40 years). It was "Seconds", with Rock Hudson. He gets tired of his wife/life and gets changed into a new person, courtesy of a shadowy outfit. Then he changes his mind and wants to go back home. The ending kept me awake for hours.
Yes that was one of the few in which I couldn’t guess the ending. Beautiful Anne Francis played the mannequin. She was also in another episode in which she played an Appalachian witch.
She was even more gorgeous in “Forbidden Planet” where she got to wear a really short dress.
Good movie, Seconds.
