this be one of my favorite story from the night gallery . it look so ordinary on the surface a bright sunny day and a father be check out a military academy he might send his wayward son to . there no spooky music here or character scream in terror . in fact and if you be to stumble across this episode while channel surf you might think it be just some boring two star family drama . when you sit and watch it and however and the horror slowly drip down on you until youre drown in it and not know if you should laugh or scream . pat boone play the lead and make for interest casting . he probably the ultimate hollywood goody two shoe and yet here his performance leave you wonder whether the father be a good guy face with a gut wrench decision and or a bad guy simply contemplate an evil one . very disturb . good directing from night gallery regular jeff corey and some creepy cinematography from lionel lindon add to the chill . it a pity that smart ( or at least different ) approach to horror from hollywood and such a the academy and seem to have mostly die off with rod serling .
