Fantasy Fridays: The Masks (The Twilight Zone, 1964)

 From season 5 of the original Twilight Zone:

A wealthy man, knowing he's about to pass on, is not comforted by having his family coming in for Mardi Gras. They agree, however, to an apparent tradition requiring masks to represent what supposedly is the opposite of their personalities.

Written by series creator/host Rod Serling, and directed by Ida Lupino. Alan Sues, 4 years before Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, and Virginia Gregg, best known as a member of Jack Webb's repertory company in the 50's & 60's, are among the cast.

YouTube does not have complete episodes of the original series, so this climatic excerpt will have to do.


Family Fridays returns next week.
