"Dachau… why do we keep it standing?" a doctor asks at the close of this Holocaust tale. Rod Serling answers that question as only he can, with ghosts and plot twists, as an aging Nazi meeting his reckoning. "It is not revenge — it is justice," a victim of the concentration camp tells him.

Star Trek "Wolf in the Fold"
Saturday 16 at 9PM | 8C

Pulp and crime writer extraordinaire Robert Bloch dreamt up some of the least–Star Trek Star Trek episodes. His scripts injected a welcome dose of horror, as in the classic witchery of Catspaw. Here, his script shines a spotlight on Scotty, who is framed for murder. Naturally, the engineer is innocent. Spoiler: It was the evil Jack the Ripper entity that did it. Good thing the murderous energy being doesn't know that Pi is infinite.
