One of the really scary episodes

Warning: Spoilers
This was one of the truly scary episodes of "Night Gallery". Granted, I was only 9 years old in 1971, but the combination of claustrophobia (one actor, windowless studio, the door locking him in); parochial paranoia (my having grown up with a semi-religious background made any kind of devil/demon references particularly real and frightening); and, finally, the in-your-face moment of truth (the pictures and dates of previous disk jockeys on the wall) made this a pretty taut and well-done episode. Who can forget how scary it was when the DJ goes from record to record, only to hear the same intonation of demons? EEEK! Also having Arte Johnson, whom we all knew as a comic actor from "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" was an interesting casting choice.
