Today's Suspense episode is "Shadow on the Wall" (September 22, 1957) starring Jackie Kelk! This was the first of 3 episodes of Suspense featuring Kelk. Although Kelk had a wide and unusual career (starting as a child actor) he's best-remembered for potraying Homer Brown, best buddy of Henry Aldrich on the Aldrich Family; Kelk played Homer on radio and TV from 1940-1951.
In this episode, Henry (Kelk) murders his brother but is thereafter haunted by a shadow - which is to say, he's haunted by his guilty conscience. It's a bit like Poe's "Tell-Tale Heart" and Kelk is up to the material.
