Sinopsis: Una bailarina ingresada en el hospital por una crisis de ansiedad se despierta todas las noches aterrada por la misma pesadilla: escucha unos pasos en el pasillo, y al seguirlo acaba en el depósito de cadáveres, donde una extraña enfermera le dice "Hay sitio para uno más". Pero, ¿es un sueño o es realidad?
Frases destacadas:
Opening Narration: This is Miss Liz Powell. She's a professional dancer and she's in the hospital as a result of overwork and nervous fatigue. And at this moment we have just finished walking with her in a nightmare. In a moment she'll wake up and we'll remain at her side. The problem here is that both Miss Powell and you will reach a point where it might be difficult to decide which is reality and which is nightmare, a problem uncommon perhaps but rather peculiar to the Twilight Zone.
Closing Narration: Miss Elizabeth Powell, professional dancer. Hospital diagnosis: acute anxiety brought on by overwork and fatigue. Prognosis: with rest and care, she'll probably recover. But the cure to some nightmares is not to be found in known medical journals. You look for it under 'potions for bad dreams,' to be found in the Twilight Zone.
