31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 17: DARK STRANGER 1954 (MILL CREEK)

Very strange story.

This is an episode of the 1955 TV series "The Star and The Story". Edmond O' Brien stars as a writer named Ray Ericson.

Ericson comes to realize that his life has taken a bizarre turn when he starts living out a fiction story he is writing, and that the characters are becoming real.

He meets a beautiful woman named Jill Andrews (Joanne Woodward) who is actually a character from his story, and she is attempting to get away from her boyfriend because he wants to kill her.

Ericson is shocked to find that he is in the role of the killer!! He must then race against time to change his story before it's published and becomes real.

I really liked the premise of this story and how the actors made it work. O' Brien and Woodward work very well together and it does come to a bitter sweet conclusion.

This is highly recommended for classic TV lovers.
