Silent Snow Secret Snow - Part 2 of 2

Part II. A young boy moves further and further away into a dream world of all-encompassing snow. A private world that is all his own. An existence where no one else can touch him.

This is my fave "Night Gallery" episode, just because it lends itself gracefully to different interpretations.

Conrad Aiken's must-read story is longer and more involved than this show. But this "Night Gallery" still reflects his deliberately mysterious theme -- the cold weirdness that is happening to this kid is a natural cold weirdness. My guess: It's the wintry death of childhood, and a turn to lonely adulthood.

My favorite NG episode. Growing up in snowless central Florida, and seeing this show when I was 13, it was fun to imagine.

Orson Welles' voice is both soothing and sinister.

There are so many interpretations to this story...

I liked the original 1967 version better. It hokey, but raw and simple like the story. This one didn't work for me because the stark story of a boy descending into schizophrenia (?) is upstaged by slick production, technicolor, and cheesy acting. Orson Welles was a great narrator, however - that's the only thing I liked about it.

Does anybody know what the mane of the epidode is where a small town finds a hole in a field that is bottomless and is apparently the gateway to hell?

Nice touch, making the video freeze up all the time. Puts me in the zone.
