“The Cheaters” was the title of a 1960 episode from Thriller, the hour-long, Boris Karloff-hosted series that tried to feed off the success of The Twilight Zone. It was about a pair of glasses that allows the wearer to see the ugly truth about others, and what he/she really looks like a la Dorian Gray.
