Alfred Hitchcock Presents - "Summer Shade" (1961)

After portraying a cynical tough-guy private eye on Alfred Hitchcock Presents in the episode "40 Detectives Later" in 1960, Franciscus returned to the show a few months later, in January 1961, as a wholesome, preppie suburban husband and father in the supernatural tale "Summer Shade." Franciscus's character, Ben Kendall, is househunting in rural New England with his wife, Phyllis (Julie Adams), when they chance upon their dream home. But, as always in tales like this, if something looks too good to be true, there's a catch - in this case one that may involve witches and ghosts.
