| Summary |
|
A group of strangers have the overwhelming sense that they have been in the same place with the same people before. Although there are minor changes here and there, they have the uncanny ability to detect what is supposed to happen next. Frightened, they begin to believe that they are powerless to some unknown entity that is controlling their fate and caught in a loop from which they cannot escape. | Submitted By: TheCabinet

| Summary |
|
A lonely girl (Laurie Prange) befriends a strange creature after she traps it in an old quarry. Stuck on an island with only a few families, she has become ostracized from the other children and is constantly being scolded by her parents for her bad behavior. She begins to believe that the only true love she can find is in the odd creature that everyone seems to fear. | Submitted By: TheCabinet

"There's something rather remarkable in the scope of imagination peculiar to children. They project and dream and fantasize with beauty and simplicity and faith, in a manner that somehow eludes us as we grow older. This is Brenda and Brenda has a playmate. It comes to her, in part, because of loneliness. And what I wish for you is that you never get that lonely."

| Overall Episode Information |
| Quotes |
"A most cordial welcome to this nocturnal arcade featuring canvases that are sometimes a bit on the peculiar side, sometimes uncommon. Sometimes a few frescoes of the freakish. Tonight's first selection, a painting suggesting solitude, or at least solemnity, as viewed during the midnight hour. It tells a tale of two young people caught inexorably in a recurring nightmare with a finale on the jolting side. Our painting with the somewhat familiar face is called Midnight Never Ends. And this is the Night Gallery."
-Rod Serling
