Terror on the Airwaves - Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Gloating Place

A brand new segment to The Midnight Cinephile!
Terror on the Airwaves takes a look at the spooky tales that filter through the electric mist into your television set via weekly anthology style television shows.

Shows such as The Twilight Zone, Tales From The Darkside and Friday the 13th: The Series all gave us chills when they told us a new spooky tale each week.

For this edition I want to start off with a very special one.
Let me set up the scene for you.

It's sometime in the mid 90's. A high school aged Midnight Cinephile is sitting in his room flipping channels on a Saturday night.and I happen upon the 80's updated version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. 
Having watched quite a few episodes of the older 60's show, I decide to give it a shot. The next half hour kept me riveted to my little 19 inch Zenith TV.

It was the episode The Gloating Place.

I could talk your ear off about it with tons of screen caps and such, but I think 
that for this one, I'll just have you watch the episode for yourself.

And so without further adieu.....I give you 

The Gloating Place.
