    The Twilight Zone Episode name?
    I'm looking for an episode of 'The Twilight Zone' that I saw when I was a child. It's an episode from the late 80's or early 90's, so it's in color, here's the premise.. . A young couple is having financial difficulties when one day they get a knock on the door, it's a very old man(50's-70's). He tells them that he will give them $50,000; all they have to do is push a button inside a box that he has.

    The catch is that when they push the button--a person will die. The couple is shocked and undecided, so the old man gives them 2 days to ponder it over. The old man leaves the box with them and takes off. The couple talks and argues back and forth about what to do. Finally the guy pushes the button and the old man returns--with the $50,000.

    He gives the couple the money and takes back his box. Before he leaves the guy ask the old man 'what happens next?' The old man replies, 'I give the box to someone else and then another person will die.' Meaning when the next person pushes the box, the young guy will die. Does anyone remember the name of this episode?

    This episode disturbed me as a child. I have thought about it since (once in a while) but can't always remember the details. Just the other day I was thinking about it and at the video store saw a movie called "The Box". It is the same story. You have to get it-still disturbing but makes you think!
