[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Two young adults wake up in an unfamiliar house, remembering only that they had both drank too much at a party the night before, and that on the way home, a large shadow had appeared over their car.

They soon discover that the house is mostly props—the cabinetry is merely glued-on facing; the refrigerator is filled with plastic food. Outside, the town is deserted. They find a stuffed squirrel in a fake tree, search for help in a vacant church, and discover that the grass is flammable. Desperate to escape, they hop a train, only to find that the train departs and arrives from the same station.

They eventually discover that they have been abducted by a giant alien father, who has chosen them as toys for his daughter's dollhouse neighborhood.

[edit] Trivia

The bulletin board in front of the church says that the sermon will be given by Rev. Kosh Gleason. Keogh Gleason was a set decorator at MGM for many years, and worked on The Twilight Zone.

Kosh is the name of the alien ambassador in Babylon 5, a television series created by J. Michael Straczynski, who also wrote for episodes of The New Twilight Zone
