The Devil's Ticket - SPOILERS



SPOILERS -

I just re-watched this excellent Robert Bloch story, and something occurred to me. On YouTube, we've been hearing dark tales of celebrities selling their souls for wealth and fame.

Quite a prescient episode that wanna-be stars should first check out.

Was Bloch onto something?

The theme of selling one’s soul to the devil in literature goes way back to Faust. Twilight Zone also did a great version of this story with the late, very talented David Wayne.

This was one of my favorite episodes. Very clever, yet spooky. So much can be done with subtle dialogue.
