- Quotes
Narrator: [Closing Narration] The new exhibit became very popular at Marchand's, but of all the figures, none was ever regarded with more dread than that of Martin Lombard Senescu. It was something about the eyes, people said. It's the look that one often gets after taking a quick walk - through the Twilight Zone.

The Murderers' Row
In the Ferguson's Wax Museum, Martin Lombard Senescu has been the curator of the murderers' row for thirty years. When Ernest Ferguson tells his employee and friend Martin that he has sold the museum to a supermarket, Martin asks to keep the five statues from his row in his basement. Martin argues with his wife Emma, buys and air conditioning to the basement to keep the figures in the right temperature, increases the energy power bill and becomes obsessed by them. Emma tells her brother Dave what is happening at home and he suggests that she turns the air condition off to damage the wax figures. But something happens in the basement.
"The New Exhibit" is one of the best episodes of "The Twilight Zone", with an ambiguous story of obsession. Who the killer (s) is (or are) in Martin's basement is the great mystery. The performances are excellent, highlighting Martin Balsam in the role of an obsessed man. My vote is eight.
