What the episodes have in common, though, is that each has been designed to freak you out in the weirdest and most wildly unexpected ways.

Still, there are some performers you\u2019ll see quite often, including Robert McCord (best known outside this show for the TV show <em>Yancy Derringer<\/em>) and Burgess Meredith (best known for <em>Clash of the Titans<\/em> and <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/rocky\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rocky;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Rocky<\/a><\/em>).
