For me one of the episodes that sends chills down my spine is "The Man Who Was Death". Refresher on the plot of this one: An cold-hearted executioner turns vigilante when the death penalty is revoked. In the original comic the reason he turns vigilante is because less people accused of crimes are getting the death penalty. In both stories his vigilantism comes back to bite him in the ass. For me it raises the moral question of if a known criminal-say a murderer-gets off scott free due to some flaw in the justice system is vigilantism against this person justified? In my opinion no, but try telling that to the murder victim's family and friends. Are a vigilante's actions truly just? Or are vigilantes just more law-breakers? In my opinion it's the latter, and in the criminal justice system vigilantism IS a crime, but what about those cases when the law itself is corrupt? It does make you kinda question your own morals and scruples.

spy4863 One thing about it-the vigilante is only killing those who deserve to die. He's not bothering anybody else. I actually have to stick up for this guy, being that the justice system (in this case, at least), becomes too soft on crime. It's just too bad that he gets caught. Then, he ends up riding the lightning. Tragic!!!
@spy48636 жыл бұрын
On TV, in the movies and in the comics vigilantes are portrayed as "heros" for taking out criminals who can't be touched by the law. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality they're just thugs and lawbreakers no different than the criminals they claim to be stopping. That's one reason why vigilantism is a crime in most cities and states. Often they act out of emotion rather than out of a true sense of justice. In the original comic story the executioner starts hunting down defendents that were clearly innocent of the crimes they were accused of and the juries found them so, and so they were let go because they deserved to go free. They were innocent. The executioner hunts them down and murders them because he thinks they "deserved to die". This was changed for some reason when the episode was made to where the accused actually WERE guilty of their crimes but got off scott free because of some technicality. But two wrongs don't make a right. A person who murders an accused murderer without a fair trial is still a murderer, even if they believe their act was "justified". Jack Ruby went to prison for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Even though the murder could be considered "justified" by many that doesn't make it right. How can one single person or revenge minded group determine who "deserves to die"? And what happens when they target the wrong person-a very frequent occurrence with vigilantes? It's true that the law makes those same mistakes but that's why defendents are allowed to have lawyers and witnesses and others who can defend them. They're also allowed to appeal a case when they think they've been wrongly accused. In the justice system both sides of the story are heard and evaluated and everyone's rights are taken into account. Not so with vigilantes. They like to play the arresting officer, lawyer, judge, witnesses and jury all at once. And that really ticks off the REAL justice system. Imagine if you or someone you loved were targeted by vigilantes because they assumed you or your loved one were the one who commited a crime because you just happened to look like the real criminal or were in the same general area where the crime was committed. Or someone targeted you just simply because they don't like you. Vigilantism should be known by its more accurate names-"revenge" and "hate crimes."

These episodes were the darkest to me. The one where this student pretended to be the long lost Egyptian Princess so that she wouldn't be killed by a mummy! The chilling thought was when she told the teacher that she had sex with it! Eww! The one where this playwright gave an aspiring actress a love potion to get her to fall in love with him. The scariest part was when he accidentally poisoned himself instead of her! Then she showed up in the afterlife with her face all disfigured because she threw herself out the window because she couldn't live without him! And when those rich old women who have been murdered by a bluebeard have come from their graves for him! Seeing their distorted faces gives me the willies!

Fitting Punishment is a particularly dark episode. A young boy who after losing his parents is murdered by his selfish, money hungry uncle. Television Terror is a pretty dark episode too, one that I think is overlooked. The main character Horton is an undeniable asshole, but leaving him to be murdered on national tv for the sake of ratings is very messed up. It's the one episode in which I always wanted to know what happened after the end. Was the tv crew fired? Was there a trial? What happened to the ghosts? There are very few episodes in the show in which such an act of cruelty was this public, and no one really seemed bothered by it.

Still can't get over how the General in Yellow got away with forcing his son into a position he REPEATEDLY stated he wasn't prepared for and everyone KNEW he wanted out.

Sorry for the spoiler, but this episode was eerie because it almost plays like an over-the-top sitcom plot that could very easily have included a laugh track, yet the outcome is so dark and disturbing. It was directed by Mary Lambert, a fabulous but underrated filmmaker.

Good list. But, you left out the actual main plot on what made "The Bribe" episode very dark. Remember, he had a daughter who was dating/seeing a dude that he did not like. The same dude was friends/or worked for one of the dudes in the club that was burned down. His daughter lied to him about her whereabouts. Fearing that his daughter was in the club when it burned down(thinking that she snuck off to see her boyfriend), he was told by an officer that her body was one of the corpses. Feeling horrible about killing his own daughter, he shoots & kills himself. But come to find out the next morning, his daughter was alive and ran off with her boyfriend to elope. She calls her father to tell him the news and that she left the club early and while she is leaving the message, we see her father's bloody corpse laying by the telephone. That is what made the episode dark, at least in my opinion.
