Sheesh, I went through the list, couldn’t find my favorite and wonder if it was even the Twilight Zone :confused:

The episode I’m thinking of is a prisoner makes a pact with a blind caretaker where the caretaker would help him escape. When a bell tolls to announce a death, the prisoner was to climb into the coffin with the body, be buried, and the caretaker would return to dig him up.

A few nights later, the bell tolled, the prisoner climbed in the coffin and was buried. When the caretaker didn’t return soon enough, he struck a match only to discover the caretaker is the one who died. Ahhh!

I remember that one too – I think it was a Twilight Zone (not 100% sure as they ran Outer Limits right after TZ for a few years here in Calif so maybe i am confusing them too) – are you sure you didn’t pass it by – sometimes episode summaries are not the most descriptive of the essential plot points.

Great show, but I must say I was extremely disappointed that the DVD sets were not done in chronological order (i.e. Season 1, Season 2) or at least the ones I saw a few years ago were not – they were just like seemingly random episodes thrown together…

Maybe I will do a search and see if they changed this…

OK, I found it. It’s an episode from “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour” called “Final Escape.”
