he looks like the guy from the Newhart show (the 80s one, not the 70s one), who was "Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl, and that's my other brother Darryl" ...he looks like the main Darryl (the only one who talked)....but there's no credits here for "gas station guy" - does anyone know if it's him?? (incidentally, the killer looked like "Vinny" from laverne and shirley, but i already know it's the guy from FEAR).

to quote nell carter, john stossel, and Kit Kat: "Gimme A Break!"

Yep,
That's him. William Sanderson.

I liked him in Blade Runner better. That and his voice work in Batman the Animated Series.

It's William Sanderson, the one who played EB on Deadwood. I submitted an update to add "Gas Station Attendant" to his name in the credits.

I loved William Sanderson's appearance at the end of that segment. It's set up to make you think he's the killer, but instead he turns out to be the hero of the piece.

My correction for William Sanderson as gas station attendant in the "Terror in Topanga" segment has been approved and posted.
