Kid’s Drawings Cause House To Catch Fire And Guy’s Face To Have Bleeding Cut

I’ve got a scene from an old 50’s or 60’s Sci-Fi/Horror show (or possibly movie) stuck in my head. I saw this on a B&W TV in Chicago when I was a kid sometime between 1963 and 1967. It was about a child whose drawings become reality. Here’s the creepy scene, which I think was the final scene of the show: A couple discovers that a young child (might have been a boy, but I’m pretty sure I recall it was a girl) has caused the house to start on fire. It is because she has drawn a picture of a burning house. When the man moves toward the girl to try to stop her from drawing, she grabs a framed photo of him from a shelf and draws a line across it. The man then notices that he has a bleeding cut across his cheek. As he angrily reaches for the girl, she violently draws all over the man’s photo. The man lets out a blood-curdling scream as his photo is completely covered.

    1. Yes! That’s it! Wow- and I didn’t see your reply until more than 5 years after you posted it. Thanks! I see I got many details of the story wrong. I was only a little kid when I saw it. I was traumatized by seeing the cut in the guy’s face.
