I remember this from the Twilight Zone. Great plot idea!

Not the "real" Twilight Zone, but one of the revival series. I thought the plot looked familiar when I first saw the commercial.

Reminds me of...

The Monkey's Paw

The story involves Mr. and Mrs. White and their grown-up son, Herbert. Sergeant-Major Morris, a friend of the Whites who has been part of the British Armed Forces in India, leaves them with the monkey's paw, telling of its mysterious powers to grant three wishes, and of its journey from an old fakir to his comrade, who uses his third and final wish to wish for death.

Mr. White wishes for £200. Their son is killed by machinery at his company, and they get compensation of £200.

Ten days after they bury Herbert, Mrs. White, almost mad with grief, asks her husband to wish Herbert back to life with the paw. He is very reluctant, but does so. After a delay there are knocking sounds on their door. Mrs. White fumbles at the locks in an attempt to open the door. Mr. White knows however, that he cannot allow their son in; as he was mutilated by the accident (Mr. White had been required to witness and identify the body), and had been dead and buried for more than a week. He wishes his third wish; that Herbert be "...dead again, and at peace". The knocking stops. Mrs. White opens the door to find no one there.

The moral of the story is contained in this description of the paw: "It had a spell put on it by an old fakir," said the sergeant-major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow".

Oh for a second I was horrified that this may be a remake of The Wrong Box, the wonderful 1960's version of R L Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne's book.





Turns out I was mistaken and that the OP is a different Box and thus it was me who was wrong ...

If one of you kills me with that damn button I am so haunting your ass.

Bard Jameson

But you only get one million dollars no matter how many people you kill. That sucks. I want a million for each one.

And I want to choose who dies.

And the method of death.

And I want to watch.

Oh, wait a tic...this was a moral test...right?

...Never mind...
