Anybody remember ‘The Caterpillar’ on the old ‘Night Gallery’ tv show?
Set on a tropical plantation, Laurence Harvey plays a man who survives
an earwig ‘attack’. IIRC, the doctor claims that the earwig enters
the brain through the ear and burrows, causing madness and,
eventually, death. Harvey survives, seemingly unscathed, when the
earwig exits the opposite ear, which the doctor declares to be
miraculous. Unfortunately…
The doctor determines that the earwig was a female and, whilst in
Harvey’s brain, laid a batch of eggs. IIRC, Harvey is seen screaming
as the segment fades to black.
