a boy who gets lost in the woods?


I'm not sure if this was a Twilight Zone episode at all..but maybe someone who reads this board recognizes it anyway!
When I was little (probably late 80's, maybe start of the 90's), I saw this short film or episode about a boy who lived with his mom in a little cabin.
The boy goes out to play or for a walk or something, while the mother prepares dinner. Then I think he gets lost in the woods. I vaguely think I remember him meeting a strange man on the road, but I might be wrong. And I also remember something about a big waterfall in said forest. And I wonder if he falls into it or something..
Finally after a horrifying journey through the forest, he finally sees his home, and think's he is safe. But then he sees his mother's silhouette in the window, and it looks like a witch!
He is terrified, and she comes out. but then she is normal after all (or maybe it's just my brain who made a happy ending, because I was traumatized, because it was too cary for a little girl like me)

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Please? I have wondered about this for like 20 years now..

This doesn't sound like an 80s Twilight Zone episode to me. You should try asking on the Need to Know board. Good luck!
