Yes!

And also the ‘Martian’ who was the Soda Jerk in the remote cafe...

Push back his cap and he has THREE EYES! *SHUDDER*

OK - I’ll be wasting at least the next 24 hours on old ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes! :)

And don’t forget to re-read ALL of my Ray Bradbury books...

Watch Robert Bloch’s “Asylum”.

4 vignettes, inside a surrounding story, set an insane asylum.

Each of the 4. in some way, pays a hidden tribute/homage to a famous SF author or their work.

Bonus, the orderly is Max Reynolds; and at the end, the new doctor arriving is holding a Clark Bar.

One example is the miniature dolls one inmate makes: Bloch at one time stated that he admired how Asimov for the way he was able to “breath life” into his robots.

Another, Ray Bradbury often had a major character wearing an ice cream suit.

I’ll let you guess about the other two.

Bonus bonus: Ray wrote a later movie, “The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit”.
