Warning: Spoilers
A beautiful young woman dressed in white goes horseback riding on a bright summer's day when she spots something horrific-an evil woman dressed in Black who yells out a scream and tries to hunt her down with the apparent attempt of doing harm.This begins episode along with "22" and "Perchance to Dream" has to be the 3 most scary Twilight Zones in the entire Twilight Zone series. I saw this when it 1st came out-I was 10 years old and have also seen it since. As a 10 year old it made me want to hide under the bed and close my eyes The following contains a spoiler so stop reading if you don't know the ending The episode was good and it sends a universal message that runs thru many of Serlings episodes-"what if we could turn the clock back and relive our lives all over again-would our choices be different? The thing that hurt this episode is the fact that you are not supposed to know who the black figured woman is. cameras got too close and you could see that both women-the one in black and the one in white (she is terrifying) are the same woman!! Although this is an episode which relied more on message than twist, it takes away from the impact. It was still one of the best episodes of that final season.You won't want to go horseback riding ever again !
