If memory serves me right I think it was titled "Main Street".
She was not amused.......
It was titled "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street". In the new Twilight Zone series they told the same story but instead of aliens, the government was the one cutting the power to test the reaction of citizens in a crisis.
