I've watched this episode for 60-years, and it never gets old. Francis was so perfect for this role, especially with her looks of absolute terror and fright, making her role so convincing. Also, special mention should be made of the geeky store manager, whose googly eyes and nervous expressions really made this a standout episode. The sad thing is, I don't even know his name.
I saw this episode when I was nine. The next time my mother took me to the department store, I watched the mannequins in the sports department like crazy! Very clever that they used the mannequin at 0:49 and then the actual lady in the panned shot. Great performance by Anne Francis!
BEGINNING of Story: This episode scared the crap out of me when I was a little girl. Now, my granddaughter is 6 years old. It is her favorite episode. Rod Serling was a genius. END of story.
Absolute great episode the first mannequin is a dead ringer for Rory Calhoun the moral of the story is don’t go to a department store just to buy a thimble
I have this irrational fear of mannequins, like, last time I saw photos of them, I started crying (literally I'm 19 years old), but I actually like this episode and I don't know why
Very clever this is... they have even have mannequin-like personalities, all poised and graceful movements, crisp, slightly elegant language and a peculiarly tranquil affect.
Anne Francis was absolutely gorgeous. I wish she had done more in her career. Bigger blockbusters and roles. I’d do anything to meet a woman of her caliber today.
Character actress *Elizabeth* *Allen* as "The Strange Sales-lady with the Huge Collar on Her Dress." James Milhollin as the quirky floor manager, Mr. Armbruster. Patrick Whyte as the store manager, Mr. Sloan.
A great episode, though I could never understand as to why Marcia thought she had a mother. (She claimed to be buying the thimble as a gift for her mother). Even if she had temporary amnesia as to whom she really was, she must have realized that she had no idea whom her mother was.
I have questions about how they're able to disappear and reappear into society so easily without anybody noticing, I mean the manager guy already knows something is up in the the end, you have a whole "how doesn't Lois realize Clark and Superman are the same person?" thing going on here.
The repetitive “climb off it” phrase becomes so damn creepy after a while. I guess it’s because a phrase we don’t hear to much nowadays. I don’t know. Just creepy.
This looks like a hand-held copy that's taken off the screen. At the least , the camera should have been held steady. This great episode is harmed by this crummy presentation.
Ugh!... After having taken my paid vacation from work,... I feel like Marsha!... No!... I don't wanna go back!.. :'-( Yes,... 6 IS having trouble adjusting to his clone status!... "Please, don't put me on the shelf!". ...
Or maybe it's "Mannequin Lingo" because Mannequins are always "Up on a Pedestal", higher up than everyone else, and maybe they were referencing that because Marcia still though she was human, that she had put herself up on a Pedestal, a Human one, and she should "Climb down off it", and come down to Earth with the rest of us.

THEY JUST DON'T MAKE CLASSICS LIKE THIS ANYMORE! INTEGRITY, QUALITY, ETC WAS LOST, ALONG THE WAY. MOST OF THE STUFF TODAY IS TOTAL CRAP! Just like music. Today mucians have to use auto tune and computers to help them sing which is SHIT TO BEGIN WITH!
No four letter words in this! Still it is extremely chilling, &powerful! Pretty general remark about "musicians." Is Tony Bennett included in those you hate??
at 6:04 how many notice that actor does the Eddie Murphy thing (Trading places) by breaking that 3rd rail in acting by not looking into the camera at the audience. But like Eddie M, he, they, pulled it off superbly.
Those close-ups on the mannequins always freaked me out as a kid. And the way they called Marcia didn't help.
This was always my favorite episode because the twist ending is actually kinda wholesome.
Happy endings can also be a little weird and still work.
So sad. And beautiful
Twilight zone was and still is an amazing show.

A true (and great) classic!
this is one of the most graceful episodes they did.

yes. Anne Francis was grand!
That particular moment in the episode always startles me.
That's one mannequin that is a "bring home to mother" keeper!
Anne Francis...A LIVING DOLL!
RIP, dear lady.
I liked her better with dark hair in Jess-Belle.

I love how they perfectly portrayed DID before Mr. Robot, Fight Club and anime.
I love the way the man looks directly at the camera at the end.
That has to be one of the last preformances of Franklin Pangborn, for he died in 1958.
@@altonpitts5303 This was made after 1958.
@@altonpitts5303 His names was James Milhollin.
@@57highland Thank you for the correction. Mr. Millhollin played so many roles over his career similar to those played by Mr. Pangborn.
This gave me nightmares as a kid
Me too
Interesting when i was 4 years old i thought that the mannequins in the baby sitter's house moved in the dark.
Absolute great episode the first mannequin is a dead ringer for Rory Calhoun the moral of the story is don’t go to a department store just to buy a thimble
One of my favorite episodes
also, the acting was superb.
The superb classically trained actors/actresses, are who really made this series work and stand out.
Anne Francis very convincing actress! A very serious actress .... she is a 10.
Quero casar con uma americana quer casar comigo
I thought the same thing!! She played this role so well that you are totally convinced that she IS a mannequin. That's great acting.
I have this irrational fear of mannequins, like, last time I saw photos of them, I started crying (literally I'm 19 years old), but I actually like this episode and I don't know why
I remember this. It's a good episode.
So many questions come to mind, where did the mannequins live when they left? What did they use for money? What if they just didn't come back?
Very clever this is... they have even have mannequin-like personalities, all poised and graceful movements, crisp, slightly elegant language and a peculiarly tranquil affect.
And very sweet and benign smiles, as some of them smile at her there towards the end.

00:18 Well, all I hear all day long in school is how great Marcia is at this or how wonderful Marcia did that. Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!
That's exactly the way I would react if I was in a dead silent room and all of a sudden heard a voice out of nowhere. 😱
LMAOOO same
Anne was awesome...but so was Elizabeth Allen. Just stunning....
3:43 had my headphones on, almost gave me a heart attack hahaha
LOL same what the fuck
LMAOO Gave me a complete heart attack...
0:30 Whoa, that was some damn good acting for the 50s!
Many many fine '50's actors!!!!
Great show
Marcia's name is Anne Francis.
Character actress *Elizabeth* *Allen* as "The Strange Sales-lady with the Huge Collar on Her Dress."
James Milhollin as the quirky floor manager, Mr. Armbruster.
Patrick Whyte as the store manager, Mr. Sloan.
She was so beautiful.
The actress sold that scene
Yes to me for nine dollars
I love the twilight zone tos....
"Ever so much fun."
Look, it's Captain Bing Crosby.
i knew Marsha looked familiar with that mole. she had a cameo on Home Improvement.
A great episode, though I could never understand as to why Marcia thought she had a mother. (She claimed to be buying the thimble as a gift for her mother). Even if she had temporary amnesia as to whom she really was, she must have realized that she had no idea whom her mother was.
It's Marsha.
It was because she spent so much time in the real world, she thought she was an actual human.
i always thought the idea was in her head just in case she thought she was a human to return to the store
Maybe she was repeating something she heard from the clients
I have questions about how they're able to disappear and reappear into society so easily without anybody noticing, I mean the manager guy already knows something is up in the the end, you have a whole "how doesn't Lois realize Clark and Superman are the same person?" thing going on here.
Marcia, Marcia, marcia! 😭😭😭
room for one more, honey....
Marcia Marcia Marcia!! lol
It's Marsha.
Wander if this is where Brady Bunch got the idea for Marsha Brady :)
this reminds me of la pascualita
The repetitive “climb off it” phrase becomes so damn creepy after a while. I guess it’s because a phrase we don’t hear to much nowadays. I don’t know. Just creepy.
Yeah no one really uses it anymore.
0:15 creepy as hell!
I jumped
I went to it and jumped.
Right?!
I think contentions spikened heel tried to steal mother's golden thimble
Does anyone know whatever happened to the actress who played Marsha in the After Hours Twilight Zone episode ? 😮
Beautiful mannequins.
Elevator went up on its own.
Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!
Poor Marcia
La primera vez que vi esta escena me cagué de miedo
Maybe the mannequins aren’t real maybe she’s just losing her sanity. That would be a real twist
This was always my favorite episode because the twist ending is actually kinda wholesome.

What if Marcia had never returned to the mall? Would she have slowly turned back into a mannequin, or spontaneously frozen on the street one day?
I always wondered that myself.
It is the starry grey eyed briefing different prosthetics via proposed
when they said "climb off it" what does that mean?
I think it means to just 'get off' a particular notion or idea, in this case being, Marsha thinking she's a real person
Or maybe it's "Mannequin Lingo" because Mannequins are always "Up on a Pedestal", higher up than everyone else,
and maybe they were referencing that because Marcia still though she was human, that she had put herself up on a Pedestal,
a Human one, and she should "Climb down off it", and come down to Earth with the rest of us.
