I was reading a review tonight on TrekMovie.com of the latest episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, “In the Cradle of Vexilon." The review mentions that Boimler's near-death experience "was a nod to the iconic Red Room from Twin Peaks." I didn't know anything about Twin Peaks' Red Room because I never watched the series, but it reminded me of a different "red room."
There used to be a TV show that aired Saturday mornings called ABC Weekend Specials, and one episode in the early 1980s was called "The Red Room Riddle." I remember watching it back then as a kid. I decided to search for it on the internet and found it. I was thinking it was called "The Red Room," but actually it was called "The Red Room Riddle." So I watched it for the first time in about 40 years! The only thing I could remember before watching the episode again was the boy laughing with his dog and the house behind them. (I didn't remember them being in ghostly form, though.) As a matter of fact, I think this episode inspired me to write my own fictional short story back when I was kid about me & my friends at the time visiting a haunted house.
