Horror on TV: The Hitchhiker 6.1 “Fading Away” (dir by Jerry Ciccoritti)


On tonight episode of The Hitchhiker, Nick Mancusco gives a strong performance as an ex-Marine who struggles to distinguish reality from his paranoid fantasy.  The Hitchhiker himself has a little bit more sympathy for the main character in this episode than he’s had for characters in previous episodes.
