Final Episode
The series finale, "I Kiss Your Shadow," is a story of a man crushed by the memory of his wife's death in an automobile accident. The guest stars were George Grizzard, Alfred Ryder, and Joanne Linville.
In his book Danse Macabre, Stephen King nominated this episode as "...the single most frightening story ever done on TV." King wrote that Bus Stop was "...a straight drama show,... The final episode, however, deviated wildly into the supernatural, and for me, Robert Bloch's adaptation of his own short story "I Kiss Your Shadow" has never been beaten on TV - and rarely any where else - for eerie, mounting horror."
King's attribution of the script to Robert Bloch is contradicted by the episode's opening titles, which read "Teleplay by Barry Trivers From the Short Story by Robert Bloch."
