Background
Elevator Man is a mannequin at a department store in Cleveland, Ohio.
During the events of The Twilight Zone: Season 1 Episode 34 The After Hours played by John Conwell
Marsha White walks to the elevator and as she is waiting, one opens up nearby and the Elevator Man asks her if she is going up. She asks to go to housewares and he asks her what she is looking for. She tells him that she is looking for a gold thimble and he tells her that she can find one in Specialties on the 9th floor. The elevator stops and Marsha steps out. The elevator returns and as Marsha is riding it she complains to the Elevator Man how odd her experience was. She looks at her thimble and notices that it is scratched. The Elevator Man stops at the 3rd floor, Complaints. Later, Marsha wakes up on a couch in an office and finds the store closed. She tries to leave, but the doors won't open. As she is walking around she knocks over a mannequin that looks like the Elevator Man. She starts to hear voices telling her that she knows who she is. The mannequins continue to call to her and she walks into the elevator which takes her to the 9th floor. When the door opens, the Saleswoman is standing there and brings her out of the elevator. The mannequins in the room start to walk around and surround Marsha and the Saleswoman tells Marsha to concentrate and remember. Marsha then realizes that she is a mannequin and it was her turn to leave for a month. The Saleswoman then takes her turn into the world and the others congratulate her.
