"It is NOT a connection! It's a MAN!"

This week we're covering Season 5, Episode 19: Night Call. Despite its simple plot, this episode is visually and thematically rich, as well as atmospheric and genuinely scary! Our coverage includes some history of the telephone, some musings on aging and death, and a number of comparisons to Sorry, Right Number (also published as Long Distance Call), the short story upon which the episode was based.
