"Young Man's Fancy" is an episode of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone. A newly-married husband and wife return to the husband's late mother's home where he grew up. He finds it very difficult to leave the place, let alone sell it, and he can't bear it. Eventually the man becomes so engrossed in childhood memories that his mother reappears and he actually becomes a child again. His wife accuses the mother of causing this, but the mother rather sadly says that this was not her doing. To add insult to injury, the "boy" tells her, "Go away, lady- we don't need you anymore!". In the end the horrorstruck wife flees the house, leaving her boy-husband and his spectral mother behind. Announcer: "And now, Mr. Serling." less
