About this episode
0310 - Nightmare's Nest (7/17/1975) Written by Ian Martin. Directed by Himan Brown. Cast: Gordon Gould; Rosemary Rice; Mary Jane Higby; Robert Maxwell; Ian Martin. A reclusive scientist purchases a remote country estate, but the malevolent spirit who haunts the grounds is sure to disturb the peace. CBSRMT Trivia: The main theme music for Mystery Theater was taken from the CBS archives. That particular piece of music was composed by Nathan Van Cleave and was featured in a Twilight Zone episode called “Two” (1961; Season 3, episode 1) featuring Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery as the only two survivors of a post-apocalyptic war. The music plays in the scene where Bronson knocks out Montgomery in a confrontation; they are both soldiers on opposing sides of the war. Incidental music can be heard throughout Mystery Theater episodes if you pay close attention, and you are familiar with original Twilight Zone series.
