One Hundred in the Dark (Suspense!)
In this chilling episode of Suspense, a wealthy and eccentric man hosts a strange dinner party for a group of acquaintances.
During the evening, he proposes a macabre game: one of the guests will turn off the lights, and somewhere in the darkness a hidden knife awaits. Whoever finds it may use it before the lights come back on. What begins as a morbid parlor game soon becomes terrifyingly real as suspicion, fear, and deadly intentions fill the pitch-black room. As the guests grope through the darkness, each must wonder who among them might already be holding the knife... and whether the lights will come on too late.
