Adapted by Charles Beaumont from his own short story, this episode stars John Dehner as Alan Richard, an American hydroelectric engineer, who has recently returned from a project in Africa. Having had a voodoo curse put on his head by the local witch doctors, Richard laughs off such silly superstitions, though his wife Doris (Emily McLaughlin) is terrified -- quite rightly, as it turns out. The second half of this nerve-wracking Twilight Zone episode is virtually without dialogue, as Alan Richard agonizingly tries to make his way back to his midtown home amidst an ever-escalating cacophony of hideous jungle noises. "The Jungle" originally aired December 1, 1961.
