Ray Walston (My Favorite Martian) also played in it.  You should have
watched the whole thing.  The "theme" is that the place they were exploring
would create their individual nightmares.  The people who died were killed
by their own worst fears.  The survivor was able to confront and control
his fears.  Grade B or C but not totally bad.
