“Living Doll” – one of the creepiest Twilight Zone’s ever

Originally broadcast Friday November 1, 1963  (three weeks to the day before JFK’s assassination in Dallas on 11/22/63) – this chilling  thriller about a doll that talks “My name is Talky Tina and I’m going to kill you” starred a pre Kojak Telly Savalas, playing a stepfather from hell. Rod Serling’s final comment was classic. It shows you that a film can be frightening without a river of blood.  I love the moody and foreboding background music. Doesn’t the actress Mary La Roche who plays Savalas’s wife in the episode look a bit like Shirley Jones of The Partridge Family?
