4/10
Two stinkers and one pretty good one.

Warning: Spoilers
"Since Aunt Ada Came to Stay" stars Jeanette Nolan as Aunt Ada, James Farentino and Michelle Lee. Farentino begins to suspect that his wife's elderly Aunt is a witch--and an evil one at that. It's all apparently true, as the Aunt shows magical skills--ones that, frankly, look like they are from a kids' show not a horror anthology for adults. Plus, there are several dumb story elements that are unexplained. How many college classes last until midnight?!?! And, how could the professor NOT notice his wife leaving in this small classroom?! Creepy and scary for kids, but pretty dumb otherwise. I'd give this one a 2--and that's pretty generous. This particular episode shows an immaturity that is a marked contrast to the reasonably good season one shows.

"With Apoligies to Mr. Hyde" is comedy short starring Batman Adam West. It ain't funny. I'd give this one a 2.

"The Flip Side of Satan" features Arte Johnson as a disk jockey in a very lonely studio. He's the only one there and he has explicit written orders to ONLY play the music provided--and it's all creepy and haunting stuff than no one on this planet would enjoy. As it plays, he makes several phone calls--calls that reveal exactly who he is...a total creep. All in all, it's pretty good and I give it a 8--in an otherwise lousy episode.
