8/10
Its weird and paranoid plot make this more watchable.

One of the biggest shortcomings of "The Outer Limits" was that too many episodes they made were about energy--very high energy that is threatening mankind. This is a topic that MIGHT have worked in a couple episodes, but I've already seen four! Among the better is "It Crawled Out of the Woodwork"--mostly because I loved the very paranoid aspects of the show.

Professor Peters (Michael Forrest) has moved across the country with his brother to begin working for a project having to do with power. However, the Professor does not know that the man who runs the place (Kent Smith) is certifiably insane and has managed to turn his employees into zombie-like beings to further his research into a form of life that is pure energy!! When he is killed, his brother (Scott Marlow) decides to investigate along with a policeman (Ed Asner). It turns out to be far darker and weirder than they'd ever imagined!! As I said, the writing of this one manages to make it very watchable and cool. Worth seeing and very original.
