Twilight Zone Lite: You Drive

[@kirkfeather1]

The skillful acting and flawless timing of all the Twilight Zone actors shines through brilliantly in episodes like this one. What consummate pros!

Also, I think black-and-white works so well for this kind of story; i.e., the film-noire "look."

That kid has to be the most chill vengeful spirit in fiction. He just wanted the guy to turn himself in.

[@jb6712]

Doubt it. Since Christ Himself said "the dead know nothing...", meaning we just aren't, it would have to have been a demon-driven car. Demons do exist, and they can never die, so that would be the most likely cause of the car's "wanting" the man to turn himself in. Of coursed, it could have been a predecessor to Stephen King's excellent book, "Christine".....
