I just saw this episode for the first time tonight. Wow, that sheriff is incredibly creepy! From the very first moment his deep voice is heard (before the viewer has seen his face) he is obviously the villain. I got so worried when Joe joined up with him to look for the guys in hiding.

The ending was a bit scary. You knew Wes was going after that last kid and you didn't know who was going to be shot. Joe put himself right into the danger! Eric Fleming did a great dying scene.
