Oh, I dunno, I always liked The “Night Gallery” episode where the guy gets picked up wearing a shredded dress at sea with a life ring that says “Titanic”. He gets rescued by another large passenger liner. and he tries to explain to the captain and crew to let him stay in the water because he was the notorious “man in a dress” who tried for one of the “Titanic’s” lifeboats. he’s thus condemned to be a Jonah who brings disaster to any ship he sets foot on.

They of course don’t believe him and also have trouble believing someone could have survived at sea for three years. As he walks the promenade deck there’s shout “Torpedo off the starboard bow!” and ghe walks past a life ring saying “RMS Lusitania”. Then there’s a huge explosion and fade-out.

It fades back in this same man clinging to a piece of wreckage in the water and another large and much more modern-looking liner approaching him. Up in the wheelhouse an officer directs the helmsman to swing to and pick up the man. The helmsman turns to face the camera and you see “Andrea Doria” on his cap....end of episode.

Does anyone know what the title of that one was? I for the life of me cannot remember the name of it.

Wow I never saw that one.

The one that sticks out in my mind was this one where it’s the dark ages and this kid (about 16 or 17 y/o) lives with his parents in the forest and they are sort of shunned from the town. But every so often the dad gets called to town for some mysterious job.

The dad decides it’s time to pass the torch to the son and tells him that he’s a “death eater” (not the Harry Potter kind). When someone dies, the family lays out all this food on the dead person and supposedly all their sins are passed on through the food. Dad would eat the food and this would allow the person to go to Heaven.

Well, Junior is out one day, comes home and mom is making a buffet...yep, dad died and junior has to eat dads sin food.

I don’t know why, but that one scared the crap out of me.
