Late-night horror flick – scene where man’s hands catch on fire

A few years ago, a friend of mine was watching some late-night horror movie and thought I might know what she was watching, so she took a picture and sent it to me. I had no idea. Here it is:

It was airing on RTV (Retro Television, I believe), on May 15, 2010. Probably late at night. Probably in Atlanta, if I had to guess. It looks to be in black and white.

It’s just so bizarre looking that I have to know what it is. The line “before you even know you’re pregnant” that you see in closed captions is just be from a commercial, and the captions were frozen.

The man in the still appears to be wearing boots and a jacket, but no pants. But it could just be the picture quality. Also, his hands are definitely on fire.

I’ve reverse-image searched, I’ve Googled the line, I’ve even tried emailing the station.

At this point, I just want to know so I can stop thinking about it. Can anyone help?

  1. “Night Gallery”. It’s an episode from season 2 called “A Question of Fear/The Devil is not Mocked”. I found a clip on youtube which has that scene but it’s ridiculously long, but I’ll try to post it.

  2. I finally was able to post video! If you go to the 1 min. 30 sec point you will see that image.

  3. That is definitive, and since Livinghead has had bad luck lately with people not returning to confirm his Solves I’m notching this one up for him. Thanks Livinghead!
