The victim in that picture is dressed in a "prim" way (including the hairstyle), but the tightness of her dress also makes it almost a "cheesecake" picture.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-4795538004786302682019-06-14T03:57:36.293-07:002019-06-14T03:57:36.293-07:00The TZ episode was based on a story that had been ...The TZ episode was based on a story that had been repeated without ultimate credit so often that it might be folklore...though I suppose looking it up could turn up a single literary source.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-16074836150072586782019-06-13T12:27:34.145-07:002019-06-13T12:27:34.145-07:00"Going My Way?" from Marvel Tales 107 is..."Going My Way?" from Marvel Tales 107 is very similar to the famous Twilight Zone episode "The Hitchhiker" in which a young woman with a flat tire who got into a horrific car accident yet somehow "survived" (spoiler, she really didn't) keeps seeing a strange man who wants to hitch a ride from her. Only she can see him, and he keeps following her. The episode ends very similarly to this one, with the woman trying to call her mother only to find out that she's in a mental institute because she couldn't get over the death of her daughter--which of course is her. She then realizes that she was dead all along and lets the hitchhiker into her car.Glowwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621527075382017998noreply@blogger.com
