What Is Your Favorite Twilight Zone Episode

To Serve Man

I'm a big fan of Twenty-Two also.

and when nuclear war hit he was all alone, but broke his glasses

I just saw it about a month ago. Was channel surfing, and there it was, on SciFi!

I love that one

Time Enough at Last

With Billy Mumy.

Stan used a CIA device to listen to his neighbors conversations and discovered that they all disliked him. So he used a national security statute to have them thrown out of their homes and sent to a motel that had "Cornfield" in its name.

That is a great one!!!

Ever wonder if you could get to another place in your dreams?

I have had dreams where I have been to a place, and I wonder if it was real or not.......

then wake up to find they're burning up.

I just saw this one the other night. I'd never seen it before. Serling took the hackneyed concept of the ventriloquist-dummy-come-to-life and made something genuinely disturbing out of it.

Needless to say, it stayed in the toy box.

:rofl:

old broken down house and a tiny little space ship lands on the roof and it turns out in the end
it was carrying a US flag and NASA markings. Another one I remember was the one where a woman kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then serves the murder weapon to the police.

With Agnes Moorhead. And no dialogue whatsoever.

they show a dead person rising from the grave to come in and kill the occupant in the house.

Or something like that.


Was that the Twilight Zone?

The Speilberg-directed one with Joan Crawford was great too.

the 1st season is on DVD, I have it.

thanks! :hi:

I loved those shows

A black-sheep nephew murders his ailing uncle for the inheritance only to find some some disturbing changes in the old man's painting of the family graveyard.

I actually mentioned that painting one on a different thread the other day. I had nightmares about it when I was a little kid. It still creeps me out.

The Masks_ (vhs/ntsc)
first aired: 3/20/64

"Mr. Jason Foster, a tired ancient who on this particular Mardi Gras evening will leave the earth. But before departing he has some things to do, some services to perform, some debts to pay - and some justice to mete out. This is New Orleans, Mardi Gras time. It is also the Twilight Zone."

Jason Foster, knowing he is dying, summons his heirs to a Mardi Gras party. He gives each a grotesque mask that reflects their true nature. Fearing they'll be disinherited, they put on the masks. At midnight Jason dies, his family, glad he is gone, removes their masks. To their horror, they discover their faces are permanently disfigured; each matches the masks they were wearing.

"Mardi Gras incident, the dramatis personae being four people who came to celebrate and in a sense let themselves go. This they did with a vengeance. They now wear the faces of all that was inside them - and they'll wear them for the rest of their lives, said lives now to be spent in shadow. Tonight's tale of men, the macabre and masks - on the Twilight Zone."

All the ones I can remember I think are my "favorites"!!

William Shatner and his fiance at a diner. Both classics.

Man gets immortality from the devil in exchange for his soul. The escape clause is whenever he wants to stop living he tells the devil he's ready to die.

Eventually he getss bored and kills his wife so he can find out what the electric chair is like. Instead of death the judge sentences him to life without parole.

Man tells the devil to take him.

In no particular order...

A Stop At Willoughby
The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine
The Last Flight
Twenty-Two
Deaths-Head Revisited


It was hard to narrow it down to just these five. I could easily rattle off a top 20 list.

oops, my bad.

How quickly we can go from knowing and trusting on another to being at each other's throats...even killing. It says a lot about humanity in general, and about our times, even now...

And our current bout of "they're everywhere!".

Especially with the Bush administration's encouragement to people to turn one another in, to trust noone.

A fascination examination of human nature.

I don't think I've seen one episode I disliked, though.

a kid. Those unexpected pig faces sent me screaming.

liked "The Hitchhiker" with Inger Stevens as a young woman driving alone across the country who becomes increasingly unnerved by the same creepy hitchhiker who keeps appearing and reappearing along the highway. "Going my way?" Unforgettable.

Narrator: "Travelers to unknown regions would be well-advised to take along the family dog. He could just save you from entering the wrong gate. At least, it happened that way once--in a mountainous area of the Twilight Zone."

GOD wouldn't allow dogs to be banned from Heaven. After all, HE created them to be man's companions in life, why would he separate them in death?" Writer Earl Hamner

He goes off fishing, while they find his body on the tracks...it came across like an O'Henry story.

Though nowhere near as popular as its thematic cousin "Eye of the Beholder," it's far more haunting. Here, Serling and Co. anticipated the narcissism that has now all but consumed our culture. What creatures we've become.

honestly.

It's easily one of the greatest TV shows ever made. The creator, Rod Serling, was a big liberal in a world of Cold-War paranoiacs, and his shows are just as relevant today as they were 45 years ago.

All the episodes are on DVD. Start Netflixing them. You won't be sorry.

Nothing wrong w/ a little joy in life.

great episode.

"All Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes - all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by this remembrance, then we become gravediggers. Something to dwell on and remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth."

A man is flying on a plane during a storm and keeps seeing an ape like creature on the wing tinkering with things mechanical LOL and why am I thinking William Shatner was the actor in that one?

OMG YES William Shatner WAS in this lol it was called Nightmare at 20,000 feet (it's a hilarious episode)

Ah, yes. Another classic!

There really are too many great episodes of this show to pick just one favorite. Another great Shatner episode is "Nick of Time", where he plays a guy who gets obsessed with a devil-headed fortune-telling machine in a roadside diner.

I remember that episode as well lol!

seated by the window and the plane passed through a storm. He got the attention of one of the flight attendants, pointed out the window, and in his best Shatner voice said, "There's a... man... on the... wingofthisplane!" She thought it was hilarious, but when she got him to do the same thing to one of the other flight attendants she had no idea what he was talking about! :crazy:

Great episode, as is The Invaders.

My husband and I flew to CA during a storm at night (also pre-911) and we had the guy sitting next to us laughing hysterically with our talk of a "bigfoot type" being on the wing.

There was a little drinking going on there that night lol!

Imagine trying to have any fun like that NOW?! :(

Agnes Moorehead did a great job, and without even speaking a word! Only grunts and moans.

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
The Eye of the Beholder
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

I can't believe my parents let us watch that stuff. They were all scary but the worst was "Talking Tina." Shudder!
