- TriviaIn May 1963, several months after this program aired, Natalie Trundy (Ellen Marshall) suffered a ruptured disc in a car accident, which required a year's recovery in a back brace. This event broke the momentum of Trundy's promising return to acting.
- GoofsWhen Philip Redfield first pulls into the gas station, he gets out and opens the radiator cap to check the water level. Opening the cap on a car that has just been driven causes hot water to rush out, but this didn't happen. Also the cap itself would have been burning hot.
- Quotes
[opening narration]
Narrator: You've seen them. Little towns, tucked away far from the main roads. You've seen them, but have you thought about them? What do the people in these places do? Why do they stay? Philip Redfield never thought about them. If his dog hadn't gone after that cat, he would have driven through Peaceful Valley and put it out of his mind forever. But he can't do that now, because whether he knows it or not, his friend's shortcut has led him right into the capital of the Twilight Zone.

"Valley of the Shadow" is a great episode of "The Twilight Zone", with an excellent plot and acting. It is great to see James "Scotty" Doohan even in a small role, and the gorgeous Natalie Trundy in the role of the hotel and restaurant owner. The plot shows how mankind is not prepared for a deep knowledge when Philip choses a weapon among all the possibilities he had. The conclusion is also excellent. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Vale da Sombra" ("Valley of the Shadow")
