Discuss Night Gallery

It was concerning a comely lady who wore her heart on her sleeve begging her writer-male neighbor to spend time with her. He cruelly turns her down and later (after he sees huge spiders) he comes to her for help. She proceeds to by trickery lock him up in a room and tells him how cruel he has been to women ignoring the great feelings women have and that women need to be treated with care. Kim Stanley played the lady and she co-wrote the script but she got no screen writing credit for it. Just Serling did. Imagine Serling in a fancy restaurant soon after this ep aired and someone comes up to him and congratulates him on his great Night Gallery story about women's feelings. The person leaves and Serling just looks off into a distance staring, thinking hard to himself!

I think you are confusing Stanley's character 'Elizabeth' with the writer Elizabeth Walter of the original short story 'The Spider'. Serling wrote the 'teleplay'.

Confused comshoozed. It outright stated that Kim Stanley rewrote some of the script concerning her character. She did this with the approval of Gomez Addams himself--director John Astin.

Where?

'Rod Serling's Night Gallery' by Scott Skelton. Or it was on a DVD.

Where in the above book does it state that she rewrote that script?

I answered all I am going to.

So you can't cite where in the book it is? No surprise.
