This was also turned into an episode of a series (Tales from the Darkside,
Monsters, or some such...I don't remember which). It wasn't too badly done,
all things considered. I mean, I would have treated it differently, and so
would Harlan Ellison, but it wasn't completely *butchered*, IMHO. Sometimes
I'm too forgiving, though.
