I had a really difficult time getting into this episode. It started off well enough, with an executive accusing his wife of believing in the magic to protect them from the curses of the Africans affected when the company moved in to take resources. The meeting in the board room wasn’t bad, where the same executive pointed out the superstitions of other executives.

This was one of the first The Twilight Zone episodes I ever saw – or remember seeing, at any rate. Perhaps that’s one of the things that piqued my curiosity in things science fiction. Perhaps not. I just remember seeing it a very long time ago, though I probably would have said it was an episode of The Outer Limits instead.
In any case, two young parents are awakened one night when their daughter calls for them – but they can’t find her anywhere in the house. Luckily a family member (a brother of the husband if I recall correctly) is a physicist or something who postulates an opening into the 4th dimension, which they are then – amazingly – able to find.
