On Encore Suspense, if you get that channel.
I think it’s also available streaming on Hulu or Netflix–or at leat used to be. Some background on this:
Some years ago on another messageboard, almost every other month someone would post a question asking what tv program they had seen in the early 1960s, describing the plot. The answer for that plot would be “Where the Woodbine Twineth,” the plot of which was pretty macabre even by Hitchcock’s standards.
Finally a few years ago, I saw it for myself, and I can see how seeing it originally in the early 1960s would have left an impression on you.
I won’t post any spoilers, but wills say this: In any of the old anthology series, it’s never a good thing when a new doll arrives.
Anybody know where that quote comes from?
It’s a line from the episode. I think it refers to the area in the yard where the little girl plays with her doll. But it might have also been a lyric in a song she was singing. I recorded it last night, but haven’t re-watched it yet.
I saw this episode exactly one time, when I was ten years old (about 79-80.) I remember it exactly, it was that creepy & freaky. Gah! I had nightmares about it for weeks. I think i’ll have nightmares tonight just by seeing a mention of it.
Numa! Numa! COME BACK!!
Google shows Mark Twain used “Where the woodbine twineth” among other attributions. I first heard it in the 1939 Lionel Barrymore film, On Borrowed Time where it was used to mean ‘where you go when you die’.
