"The Phantom Farmhouse" - Hippie mental patient Gideon (an excellent performance by David Carradine) tells psychiatrist Joel Winter (well played by David McCallum) about a mysterious farmhouse in the woods where the beautiful and beguiling Mildred (lovely blonde Linda Marsh) resides. The only problem is that Mildred might somehow be responsible for the baffling deaths of several of Winters' patients. Director Jeannot Szwarc presents a strong rural atmosphere along with a quietly eerie and melancholy mood. This neat spin on the werewolf premise ends on a haunting sad note.
"Silent Snow, Secret Snow" - Troubled autistic boy Paul (a fine portrayal by Radames Pera) becomes so obsessed and infatuated with a special imaginary world of snow and isolation that it threatens to overwhelm him. Director Gene R. Kearney ably crafts a delicate and ethereal tone as well as offers a thoughtful meditation on a disturbed child's need and desire to escape from harsh reality. Lonny Chapman and Lisabeth Marsh do sterling work as the boy's concerned parents. Further enhanced by the gorgeously mellifluous narration of Orson Welles, this poignant tale rates as one of the stand-out segments of this series.
