I haven't read much Benet. I need to dig into his stuff a little.
That is awesome that you saw that episode so early. I only saw it for the first time when I started teaching the story and sought it out. No one that ever had me read it in school talked about the film.
I first saw that episode of the Twilight Zone when I was around 9 years old. I was at my aunt and uncle’s house. All of the adults were in the kitchen playing cards (I think it was Spoons). I wrapped up in a blanket and sat in my uncle’s recliner (which was a rare treat) and watched that episode. It was really disturbing to me. So much so that I still remember it all these years later.
I first read the story as a sophomore in high school. That was such a big year for me when it came to discovering authors who wrote stories like Bierce. It was the first year I read Hawthorne and Stephen Vincent Benet (who really deserves more attention), and many others.
I enjoyed this article. I hope you’ll write more like this in the future.
