The Crowd

Despite living in LA nearly all his life, Bradbury is not a fan of the car. I'm not sure he ever learned to drive. Here a man survives an accident but notes the faces of the crowd that gathers and becomes convinced they were evil. Not long after he witnesses another accident and the same people arrive. Who are they? How do they know when an accident will happen? He investigates with his friend (who has the irritating American habit of constantly chewing gum). Decent fantasy idea with a good, scary ending.

On a positive side, I found this to have a Cronenberg essence to it: cold, a bit surreal and content over "superb" acting or plot line. But what separates this is the special effects or production is seriously lacking vision. I feel like several key things were unexplained and the mystery around "The Crowd" could have been crafted better.

The core concept is fascinating, but most of this didn't hit for me.

This episode three from season one of "The Ray Bradbury Theater" called "The Crowd" is one that's and dark in nature and tone. The episode really has one asking is their a secret society that lives on to witness bad things? Set in the big city late one night after a party hotshot Spelliner(Nick Mancusco) speeds away in his sports car only to have an accident and after recovering he remembers some strange faces and people from the scene. Really is this real or just in his imagination after suffering a head blow? As from now when an accident happens on the streets the same crowd of people appear and observe the crashes within minutes each and ever time. Only a secret is found out about this little group of crash watchers. Overall well done episode that twist as it's theme and tone is dark and scary.

This story adaptation is about a man who has too much to drink one night and rolls his car after speeding. As he crawls partway out of a window, he notices that within seconds, a crowd has appeared. He finds this odd, but he has suffered a blow to the head. Once back at work, he is explaining this phenomenon to his friend when an accident occurs out on the street. When he looks, he realizes that many of the same people that stood over him have arrived in less than half a minute. This time a woman is dead after being surrounded closely by the crowd. He begins to find accident scene pictures and realizes that they have appeared in many other locations. When he investigates, he finds that the people in the crowd are also in morgue photos. They are dead. Check out the ending. Real spooky stuff.

Excellent idea I dare say it could be in this 2020 a creepy pasta. A man has a accident late late at night on a empty road, his flips. He tries to get out and in no time before his tires stop turnineg, a crowd appears. Now yes this from the late 80s early 90s so a little dsted looking but a great episode none the less, not going to tell you the ending but lets just say not ambigious .
