You have to pay very careful attention to this episode or you might not understand the ending. Oh, thats right. Cabbot explained it at the beginning. Doh!

Carolyn Jones: Best known as Mortitia on the series The Addams Family. Also appeared in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Kolchak: The Night Stalker. [Intersting Note: One of Carolyn's lines mentions the book 'Perversity Of Inanimate objects'. This is a reference to Flagle's Law which states... "Any inanimate object, regardless of its composition or configuration, may be expected to perform at any time in a totally unexpected manner for reasons that are either entirely obscure or else completely mysterious."] Robert Mandan: Also was in the episode "The Ghost Of Potter's Field ".

A boys spirited double causes his teacher a lot of problems. What does this and House of Evil have in common? See Episode #9 for details. Well played by Hayes who is her usual proper self (at least in the begining). This is one of those episodes where you can just sit back, relax, and let the scenes play out. Sometimes this episode is mistaken for the superior Night Gallery story Silent Snow, Secret Snow. One gripe: Wouldnt you think a teacher would know better than to...damn, cant say any more or itll be a spoiler. The cat was named Magregor. Anyone know why? D.C.
