The week-long national syndication window opens for the seventh episode of George A. Romero’s Tales From The Darkside anthology series. Nile Lanning and Eric Jason guest star. 
Gail, a college student, rents a room from a veterinary professor, Dr. Fenner, who provides her with room in a wardrobe because the key to the closet in the room she’s renting was lost long ago by his daughter. But once Gail moves into the room, she hears something behind the closet door – and learns that the key to her room also opens the closet that supposedly can’t be opened. Thinking that she heard a rat, Gail puts a mousetrap into the small closet, but what’s living in there is definitely not a rat.
