What's your favorite Twilight Zone episode?

[mutepointe]

Why did no one tell me there was a marathon on? I got to see a bit of my favorite episode where the guy from The Big Valley makes that girl look like everyone else. TV was brainwashing us as children. Do we not think the same is happening to our children?

For kitsch value I like the one with William Shatner and the guy out on the wing of the airplane...

The one where Burgess Meredith loves to read but nobody will leave him alone long enough to enjoy a book. Then the world comes to an end and he's left alone and finds a library and all the books he could possibly want - and he breaks his glasses.

The first one that I remember is "To Serve Man" when the friendly aliens come and help all humanity, then the humans discover the book the aliens are using is a cookbook. I also remember the one Charlene mentioned. A third one was the "ugly girl" in a world full of people with ghoulish faces, then the reveal is that the "ugly" one is a good looking blond.

A fourth one is the bandits that steal a pile of gold, and go into suspended animation for many years, only to wake up and find out that their gold has become scrap metal, worth no more than aluminum.

* Aluminum was once more valuable than gold. The tip of the Washington Monument is aluminum. When electricity was invented, it led to mass mining and refining of aluminum, making it so cheap, that it is used for cans.

The ugly girl one was good. And I remember reading To Serve Man, don't actually remember the TV episode but it's been a long time.

Wllm Shatner was also in one where he and his new bride stopped in a small town where he became obsessed with a clown head napkin dispenser thingy which would spit out fortune cookie type answers to questions.

My husband always talked about the one where the disaffected guy always dreams of this utopic town called Willoughby on his commute home from work. Gradually his Willoughby dreams become more and more realistic until...(spoiler alert..) he steps off the train and leaves with a pretty lady, but in reality he died and is carted away in a hearse which, when they slam the back door, turns out to be from "Willoughby Funeral Home."

I like the one where Robert Redford is death. And where this guy collects junk and arranges it in a pile in his basement and he has to constantly find new stuff and place it just so or disasters happen, and he recruits a new guy to replace him.

I liked the one with the doll that would randomly say things...one of them being "My name is talking whatever (can't remember the name now), and I'm going to kill you", and then the person would die. The father in it was really mean, and the doll did NOT like him at all. It was SO scary when I saw it for the first time. What was even better was they made an X-Files almost exactly like it

Was that the one where Joan Collins was his wife? Or am I confusing it?

[Thomaston]

My favorite is called (I think) "Where is Everybody?"

Talking Tina...That's why I am afraid of dolls...

There are so many good ones....I like the one where the little girl falls through a hole under her bed and into another dimension and her parents can hear her crying but they can't see her anywhere.

And the mean step-dad was Telly Savales. He threw Talking Tina in the trash can in the garage. I don't remember who rescued her, but later she turned up at the top of the stairs in the middle of the night so she could trip Telly and he could fall down the stairs and break his neck. Very clever.

That's right! It was Telly Savales! I had forgotten that. And that part when she was at the top of the stairs was the scariest thing ever, because she kept saying all those scary things. I had nightmares for weeks. I actually just saw that episode again recently. It wasn't nearly as scary as I had remembered, but it did still creep the heck out of me.

This one is my favorite too.

That reminds me of , and I'm not sure whether it was Twilight Zone or Night Gallery or what, where Joan Crawford was losing her sight, got surgery to fix it but it would only work for a short period of time, then there was a blackout during the time her vision was restored.

The scariest one(to me) was a Night Gallery that had a spider that kept crawling out of the sink. The person would turn on the tap, the spider would go down the drain, but...crawl back bigger and scarier each time..I think of that still, on the odd occasion. Ewwww

I do NOT want to see that one....
