Description:

"He's Alive"
Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Blue Velvet) turns in a very powerful and charismatic performance as an American neo-Nazi, Peter Vollmer, bent on doing what he has to do in order to get his message of hatemongering across to the public. But there are some weaknesses in his past that need exorcising, it seems, when a shadowy Shickelgrüber begins to instruct the fledgling fascist in the ways of oratory, politics, and self-destruction. This is one of the one-hour episodes from the fourth season, but it never lags as some of the others do. Directed ably by Stuart Rosenberg, who went on to direct Cool Hand Luke, and featuring film director Paul Mazursky as one of the Nazis.

"From Agnes--with Love"
Comical episode starring Wally Cox as a computer programmer in charge of the world's most powerful electronic computer, Agnes. When the poor egghead's love life isn't going so hot, Agnes begins giving advice to the lovelorn. Only Agnes seems to have an ulterior motive. Cox is perfect as the nerdy scientist driven mad by a computer scorned. Directed by Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon).

"Spur of the Moment"
Beautifully told gothic horror tale written by Richard Matheson, who wrote a total of 14 Twilight Zone episodes. Whether one can change one's own past is the theme of this one. Out horseback riding, young Anne is chased by a black-clad figure (also on horseback), who lets out a bloodcurdling screech. The figure is Anne in her decrepit future, doomed to chase her younger self with a warning that will never be heard. --Jim Gay
