Shakespeare in The Twilight Zone: “Little Girl Lost”

“Little Girl Lost.” By Richard Matheson. Perf. Robert Sampson, Sarah Marshall, Tracy Stratford, Rhoda Williams, and Charles Aidman. Dir. Paul Stewart. The Twilight Zone. Season 3, episode 26. CBS. 16 March 1962. DVD. Image Entertainment, 2005.

At the end of this episode's opening sequence, there's a tiny, tiny bit of Shakespeare.

Somehow, Rod Serling can't resist saying “There’s the rub” (and citing his source) as he tells us what's peculiar about what's happening in the lives of this family:

Bardfilm is normally written as one word, though it can also be found under a search for "Bard Film Blog." Bardfilm is a Shakespeare blog (admittedly, one of many Shakespeare blogs), and it is dedicated to commentary on films (Shakespeare movies, The Shakespeare Movie, Shakespeare on television, Shakespeare at the cinema), plays, and other matter related to Shakespeare (allusions to Shakespeare in pop culture, quotes from Shakespeare in popular culture, quotations that come from Shakespeare, et cetera).

Unless otherwise indicated, quotations from Shakespeare's works are from the following edition:
