The Grave 2/3

The Twilight Zone (S3 Ep72) Original airdate: Oct 27, 1961

The episode opens with outlaw Pinto Sykes being ambushed and shot by several men in the middle of a street. Later, gun-for-hire Conny Miller visits the town in hopes of finding and killing Sykes. However, he is angry to find that Sykes is already dead. On a dare, Miller visits the grave of Pinto Sykes - who, as he lay dying, had vowed to kill Miller if he ever came near the grave..

(opening narration) Normally, the old man would be correct. This would be the end of the story. We've had the traditional shoot-out on the street and the badman will soon be dead. But some men of legend and folk tales have been known to continue having their way even after death. The outlaw and killer, Pinto Sykes, was just such a person. And shortly we'll see how he introduces the town, and a man named Conny Miller in particular, to the Twilight Zone..

Oh, please. Read a little and you'll come to notice society has had 'punks' and 'uppity, disrespectful' young people for as long as society has existed.

And be careful, areas known for their politeness and courtesy are also often later known for their brutality.

Even back then a bounty hunter would take his hat off in the presense of a lady, respect back then, but now there seems to be a lack of respect, especially from young kids teeager,etc.

Heavens to Murgatroid! THANKS for posting! Not only did TZ have some excellent scripts, but it featured some of the finest actors around...including many who went on to be big stars, such as Lee Marvin, Robert Duvall & Robert Redford. In fact, some of them (such as Lee Marvin) appeared in more than one episode! Groovy to see noted character actors like Jim Best. Lee Van Cleef & Strother Martin here too! Top notch stuff !!! :-)

Twenty dollars?

That was a lot of money to be carrying around back then...

This one of the very best from the original Twilight Zone -- a ghost story set in the Old West. I think that Lee Marvin was on M Squad about that same time. Lee Van Cleef, James Best, Srother Martin, and the guy who played Cheif O'Hara (on Batman). Great cast. Great (and creepy) story. It allowed the viewer to come up with their own conclusion. Rod Serling and Buck Houghton were great screenwriters/storytellers. Steven Speilberg gleaned a lot from them.

@yes350yes "...in the presense [sic] of a lady..."

Not good enough. Should be in the presence of a WOMAN, whether lady, virgin, whore, whatevah.
