The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

Rod Serling's quote at the end of the episode has to do with, to me is not every time the biggest baddest weapon cause fear and curiosity in the minds of people. The smallest tweak in a routine schedule in a town such as power down suddenly, electronics acting weird or just prejudices against one another can throw everybody out of proportion. I agree with the statement by Sterling because just like the Salem witch trails people would accuse others to get off the hook so to say. Just as in the episode charlie starts to blame the other residents only to be accused for conspiracy right back. I can relate because I've been accused for something as a scapegoat and the real culprit was my friend playing a trick in the smallest possible way to get my group to fight with each other. Its really crazy to witness a little tweak in a place where people live can go awfully wrong to the extend where any idea popped up can be used to get others in trouble.
