    $200,000 - which if you consider that it was 1980s money, makes Mr. Beast’s $10,000 look very small.

    By “originally meant to” I think you are referring to the short story it was based on ending that way.

    A despondent Norma asks the stranger why her husband was the one who was killed. The stranger replies, “Do you really think you knew your husband?” strongly disapproved of the Twilight Zone version, especially the new ending

    Frankly I find the twilight zone ending more chilling and suspenseful. The “do you think you really knew your husband” line is kinda sad trombone.
