I KISS YOUR SUCCESS guest Joanne Linville and George Grizzard as guest stars, is a story of a man crushed by the memory of his wife’s death in an automobile accident. In his book Danse Macabre, Stephen King nominated this episode as “…the single most frightening story ever done on TV.” King wrote that Bus Stop was “…a straight drama show,… This show, however, deviated wildly into the supernatural, and for me, Robert Bloch’s adaptation of his own short story “I Kiss Your Shadow” has never been beaten on TV – and rarely any where else – for eerie, mounting horror.
