I think Shelter Skelter is a very clever story. To say why would be too much of a spoiler.
Shelter Skelter has been criticized for portraying the wife as a murderer of her husband for not telling rescuers that he may be alive. I think the people who say this forget that the husband refuses to show himself to people searching for survivors because he thinks they are really scavengers trying to break into his shelter. They also ignore that the episode ends with the wife placing flowers next to the list of names of people killed in the disaster, which must have been meant by the authors of the episode to indicate that she thinks he is dead. I see no reason to think that the authors or anyone connected with Twilight Zone intended her to be a murderer.
I think this is one of Twilight Zone's best stories.
