To ME? The creepiest episode was about the Teenage girl who came from a rich family and who was arranged to marry the son of another rich family but she was in love with a rebellious bad boy. And every day she would go horseback riding down the road. Until one day she looks up the hill and sees somebody on a dark black horse wearing all dark black with a dark black hood on. And that person is yelling at her. Like they want to KILL Her. And then they start to chase after her full speed on their horse. So she starts to ride away in fear. And the person on the black horse is still chasing her. Screaming at the top of their lungs. But you can’t really hear what they’re saying. So this same thing happens over and over for the next few days. But the person on the black horse never catches up to her. So long story short the young girl ends up running off with the Bad boy instead of marrying the Rich Boy who is a Nice Guy. The scene cuts and you see an older woman living in a shack with a guy who is an abusive alcoholic bum. They argue like they do every day and that Woman runs out of the house and jumps on her horse. Her DARK BLACK Horse. She rides up the hill and looks down and sees a young girl on a horse looking up at her. She starts yelling “WAIT! Don’t Do it!” The young girl can’t hear her and looks terrified. She starts to chase after the young girl but the girl starts riding away. She keeps chasing her and yelling “DON’T DO IT!!” But the Girl is too fast. The older woman never catches her.... The Stranger On The Dark black horse was HER from the future. Trying to stop her YOUNGER Self from making the BIGGEST and WORST Mistake that would destroy her life FOREVER. CREEPIEST Episode EVER.

How about the one where astronauts crash on a barren asteroid or uncharted planet, and began to feud among themselves, mostly over the limited supply of water? One gradually begins to eliminate all the others to ensure his survival, only to finally come over a hill to find power lines, road signs, and a highway with traffic moving through the desert. They'd crashed back in the desert of the southwest United States, and been there the whole time.

Oh god... I watched "Eye of the Beholder" when I was 12 and I appreciated it so much because I was considered ugly and it resonated with me. 10 years later, I watched it and paid closer attention. This was also accompanied by the new knowledge that I am autistic. And then I heard the phrase that the nurse-who is supposed to be comforting the woman but is doing so in a way that is dehumanizing to her- used: "You know, with those bandages on, I almost think she's a person." And it reminds me of the way some terrible teachers and my own mother used to talk about me. And then I saw the ending (spoiler alert) and I remember thinking that the man who was also "ugly" like her made her feel welcomed and that it was a happy ending because they were going to a town where she would be loved. Now, I have heard critiques of the episode and I remember some of the language the man used as well as the circumstances surrounding this visit (e.g. the dictator-esque figure and wanting to make everyone the same). I wondered if he was actually taking her to something that was comparable to the ghettos in the Holocaust. Since the age of 12, I have learned about the eugenics movement and that people with disabilities were also victimized in the Holocaust along with many other types of people who would be considered "ugly" in that society in various ways. So it wasn't just an "in jr. high I was/felt ugly compared to my popular peers and it felt like they were dictators but in actuality I will grow up and realize that though it wasn't as strict as it seemed, society seems that scary as a pre-teen" type thing. It was a "Serling is using a weird imaginary society that does not exist to draw us in to thinking deeper about something that actually did/does happen in our real society and we might not have thought of it if we had not been encouraged to see it that way" thing. I love that the episode hits on that many levels and it has only gotten better as I view at different stages of my life.

See, this is why shows like The Twilight Zone are good art -- not just because they're well made, but because they resonate and have meaning in the real world. I feel like way too much of our entertainment these days focuses on the spectacle or the cool factor, and forgets to be important to us, in the audience.
@michaelpalmieri73356 жыл бұрын
birdword111 The book "The Twilight Zone Treasury" said that the episode "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" could be considered "a companion piece to 'The Eye Of The Beholder' ", because they were both aimed at one of Rod Serling's favorite targets, namely conformity. The young lady in "The Eye Of The Beholder" is considered a freak because she doesn't look like everyone else, which is why she's in a hospital with her face covered in bandages, waiting to see if the doctors were able to fix her face so she will look like everybody else. This is her eleventh operation, the maximum allowed by the state; if the operation is a failure, she'll be exiled to a community where others like her are forced to live in isolation. Of course, there's a twist to the story: the audience is led to believe that the woman is ugly and that the doctors are trying to make her beautiful; however, when they finally take the bandages off (while, on television sets all over the hospital, the leader of the state makes a speech about "glorious conformity"), the audience sees that she IS beautiful, but the head doctor announces that there's been "no change at all," that the operation has failed; when one of the nurses turns on the lights, we see the truth about this strange, fictitious society, that the doctors, the nurses, and everyone else (including the leader of the state) have faces that are hideous and distorted! Apparently, in this world, attractive looking people are the outcasts of society while the ugly ones are regarded as "normal." It turns out all for the better, on the other hand, when the woman is introduced to another "freak," a very handsome man who is from one of the separate areas where people like him and her have to live. He comforts her and assures her that she will be accepted by the other outcasts, that she will be loved. He then reminds her of the old adage that gives the episode its title: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" is another story about how society subtly pressures people to be exactly the same as all those around them. But unlike "The Eye Of The Beholder," this is a story about a futuristic world where everyone has to be beautiful. At the age of 19, everybody undergoes an allegedly "voluntary" operation that makes them look as attractive as possible, but at the same time, turns them into carbon copies of thousands of others (both actor Richard Long and fashion model Suzy Parker play multiple roles in this episode). But one young girl, 18 year old Marilyn, sees the "transformation," not as a gift from a benevolent society, but as a deliberate method of enforcing conformity. This belief is reenforced when she notices that everyone who has the operation not only looks alike, but thinks and acts alike as well. Marilyn's free-thinking father had committed suicide after his transformation because, as she says, "when they took away his identity, he had no reason to live." She remembers that her father had once told her "if everyone is beautiful, no one will be, because without ugliness, there can be no beauty." She then adds her own opinion: "They don't care if you're beautiful or not, they just want everybody to look the same." Unfortunately, nobody can understand how she feels, not the doctors, not her mother, not her uncle, not her friend Valerie, no one! When she tries to sneak out of the hospital where she is forced to stay, she ends up in an operating room where a doctor and nurse are waiting for her. She comes out looking, acting, and thinking like Valerie ("The nicest part of all, Val," she says, "I look just like you). She's finally been crushed by a heartless, uncaring world bent on mindless, stifling conformity.

phastinemoon - Too many shows spell it out for us. We aren't supposed to think about the implications of things or to fill in the blanks (if there are any to fill). For example: Hulu has episodes of 'Night Gallery'. In one of them, Pernell Roberts's character is told why a jukebox (which had been replaced once) always played the same record: a story of love, betrayal, and murder, and you know that the ghost of the dead man is still in the building, and really likes that song. Roberts goes back to his car and happens to look up as a man and woman enter the diner. As he pulls away, we hear terrified shouts. Someone in comments actually asked what happened. They needed to be shown the ghost getting his revenge on his cheating wife and her lover because they were used to being spoon-fed.

I wonder how much control the people in the 'three beautiful cities' have over their lives. What sort of economy do they have? Are there commercial relations between these cities and the rest of the nation? Are they self-sufficient or are they kept under control through dependence on the government for certain services? (Given the implications of dictatorship, I'd call that a possibility.) Are they allowed to reproduce? If so, what happens to those children who are normal? Are they sent away, to be raised as good little citizens, never knowing their parents were abnormal? (I mean by the standards of this culture.)

@michaelpalmieri73356 жыл бұрын
Clifford Hodge "The Hitchhiker" was originally a 1942 episode of the old radio show "Suspense." An expanded version was broadcast in 1946 on "The Mercury Summer Theater." There were a few differences between the radio and TV versions. To start with, the main character was a man named Ronald Adams, played by Orson Welles. At one point, Ronald picks up a female hitchhiker, who rides with him for a few miles, but when he tries to run over the mysterious hiker who has been appearing out of nowhere, the girl, who didn't see the hiker, thinks Ronald is crazy and leaves him. At the end, Ronald finds out that he has been dead all this time after being in an auto accident on the Brooklyn Bridge, which was where he first saw the hitchhiker. In the television version, the protagonist is a young lady named Nan Adams, played by Inger Stevens (Nan was the nickname of Rod Serling's daughter, Anne, who didn't particularly like being called Nan; the name was also used in the episode "A Passage For Trumpet" with Jack Klugman). In one scene, Nan picks up a male hitchhiker, a sailor, who rides with her for a while, but then decides she's nuts after she attempts to run down the unknown hiker, whom the sailor never sees; like the girl in the radio show, the sailor leaves Nan. At the end, Nan discovers she has been dead the whole time, after having a car accident in Pennsylvania, which was where SHE first layed eyes on the weird hitchhiker. In both versions, it is implied (but never said directly) that the titular hitchhiker is death itself!
@michaelpalmieri73356 жыл бұрын
It seems I was somewhat mistaken about the radio version of "The Hitchhiker." The episode first aired on "The Mercury Summer Theater" in 1941, then a condensed version was broadcast on "Suspense" in 1942, and then the original was rebroadcast on "The Mercury Summer Theater" in 1946. Thank God I have an old- time radio app on my cellphone; this afternoon, I listened to the "Suspense" version of "The Hitchhiker," which was preceded by an introduction by Orson Welles telling the audience how the story was first heard on "The Mercury Summer Theater" the year before. On the app, the "Mercury" version is listed as having been broadcast in 1946, so I figured it was a rerun. Sorry, my bad. Believe it or not, "The Hitchhiker" was partly based on an actual incident involving Lucille Fletcher, one of the writers for "Suspense." She said that one time, she was driving her car across the Brooklyn Bridge, when she saw a man who appeared to be waiting for a ride leaning against the cables; strange enough, she later saw that very same man while driving along the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey (the bridge and the skyway are the first two places where, in the story, the fictitious Ronald Adams first sees the mysterious hitchhiker). This weird occurrence inspired her to write a story about a motorist who sees the same hitchhiker everywhere he goes. Incidentally, Lucille Fletcher also wrote another well-known episode of "Suspense," the classic "Sorry, Wrong Number," which was first broadcast on May 25th, 1943, and starred Agnes Moorehead as an invalid woman who hears a murder being plotted over the telephone (the tale was rebroadcast several times between 1943 and 1960). This too was based partly on a true story involving Miss Fletcher; as she explained, she went into a store to buy some milk for her baby one day, when she encountered a very neurotic woman who was arguing with the saleslady: "She was very rude to her and me," she later recalled, "and I thought to myself, 'I'm going to get even with you, lady.' " She also remembered that she lived in a house near the Queensboro Bridge over which a train would cross every now and then. In the "Wrong Number" story, the main character, Mrs. Stevenson, is also very obnoxious and neurotic as she argues with whoever she talks to over the phone while trying to report the murder she heard being plotted; she complains about how she's getting "tied up in all this red tape" (of the phone company), she calls people "stupid" when they can't help her track down the killers she overheard, she calls a police sergeant an "idiot" and hangs up on him when he says it will be hard to prevent the murder because she doesn't know the identity of the intended victim or where she lives (all she knows is that the victim lives in "a house near a bridge," and that the house is near Second Avenue), and when he tells her that he has "a few things on my desk that require immediate attention." In the end, Mrs. Stevenson realizes that SHE is the woman who's to be murdered! At the last minute, the hired killer appears just as the 11:15 P.M. train crosses after the bridge (which happens to be the Queensboro Bridge) outside her window and drowns out her screams--and her final breath!

I have this series on dvd & IMO the "Hitchhiker" episode is by far the creepiest one of all IMO. Maybe so, due to the fact that there ARE some creepy tales about picking up hitchhikers on deserted roads. I'm sure we've all heard about some of the tales of the infamous route 66. Then there's this one though I'm not sure what road it happened on. The story goes, there was this truck driver who picked up this woman on a deserted road one night. She was all alone & dressed in a white gown of some kind. So he picks her up & they drive down this road a while with her hardly saying a word. She really only tells em to turn & he does. As they go down another deserted road she points to a home in which he stops the truck & she gets out & goes inside this big house. The trucker heads to this diner & pulls into the parking lot realizing this woman left her scarf in his truck. So he goes too return it & when he knocks on the door this older woman answers & she says, "No ones been here all night." Puzzled by this, the trucker says the opposite & then shows this lady the scarf his passenger left behind. That's when this tale takes a turn too the bizarre. The lady sees a monogram on the scarf with her daughters initials. And the trucker says, "That's her!" Pointing too a picture sitting on a mantle behind the woman. The trucker says, "That's the lady I gave a ride to earlier tonight." The lady began to freak out & yelled for her husband who came downstairs with a shotgun & said to the trucker, "I don't know who you are, but our daughter was killed in a car accident 5 years ago." The story gets even more bizarre. She was killed on the same road the trucker picked her up on. The next day the trucker took a friend of his over too the exact location where the house was. Turns out his friend didn't believe his story after he told em, so he had to take em too the house. And this part defies any explanation possible & this is also the most bizarre part of all. When they arrived at the house, the house wasn't there no more. It was gone! Missing! Don't know how authentic or true this story was, but it always takes me back to the "Hitchhiker" episode of the Twilight Zone cos ya just never know. I also have a book about ghostly or scary hitchhiker story's where people actually DID encounter the bizarre. Strange world we live in. Strange world indeed!!!

I have 2 that i remember really creeping me out as a kid. One was when astronauts landed on a planet, the entire crew died but Roddy mcDowell, the people of the planet seemed very friendly. They set him up in a house and everything. But it turns out it was an exhitbit like at the zoo, with a sign in front that read Human Species. Then the other one was a couple were in trapped in this town and everything was fake, and there were no people anywhere. The couple just remembers they got hammered the night before and driving and thats all. Turns out they were scooped up by a huge alien that looked just like us and he took them home for his daughter to play with and she put them in her make believe town!! At the end of that i remember going WHOA!!! I was like 8. Now every New Years me and my kids watch them as several channels will have marathons, and we'll watch them one right after the other!!

I wasn't around for the original run so there is no rose colored glasses at work, i'm 29 and would honestly disagree, i'm a huge fan of sci fi anthologies - and have recently re watched every season of TTZ over the last few months and then some-from the outer limits to monsters to tales from the darkside to tales from the crypt and their more modern incarnations (ala black mirror) i'm a fan of it all i'm also something of a horror aficionado and have seen most films in the genre since the mid 60 starting with italian horror so i've seen how some of these ideas have grown to become standalone movie franchises and television series in their own right. i can say with the upmost confidence that not only does this series hold up, but it puts to shame most modern attempts. there is simply nothing comparable to the writing in that show.

This show was so far ahead of its time, it's ridiculous. And for that matter, I can't think of anything since that surpasses it. Virtually all of its episodes still hit home today, with a good number of them carrying a strong humanitarian message/warning, but one that never feels heavy-handed towards the viewer. Even though we've seen every episode multiple times, my wife and I still binge watch hours and hours of Rod Serling's masterpiece at least a couple of weekends a year. Absolutely brilliant man. RIP Mr. Serling. I hope you are now enjoying your own time in...The Twilight Zone.

Did it tackle issues other shows of that era didn't? No... Did it produce horror other shows of that era couldn't match? No... Was the acting superior to other shows of that era? No...

The fear of these little troublemakers was especially prevalent during World War Two, when each side of the war was worried about gremlins destroying their fighter and bombing planes. This fear was even parodied in the popular culture of the day. For example, the Warner Brothers movie studios put out a few Looney Toons/Merrie Melodies cartoons where gremlins were featured prominently. One of these was entitled "Russian Rhapsody," which was inspired by the fact that the Soviet Union was one of our most important allies. In this film, German bombing planes try to attack Russia but fail to complete their mission. It is suspected that Russian gremlins are to blame. Adolf Hitler is so furious about this, that he decides to pilot a plane to bomb the USSR personally. As he's flying through the sky, tiny Soviet gremlins, many of them caricatures of members of the Warner Brothers animation staff, invade the plane and begin destroying it as they sing, "We Are Gremlins From The Kremlin" (to the tune of "The Song Of The Volga Boatmen"). Some of them torment Hitler: one scares him by putting on a Josef Stalin mask; another says to "Der Führer," "How do you do?" (a spoof of the popular catchphrase of comic Bert Gordon, better known as "The Mad Russian") In the end, the gremlins throw Hitler out of the plane into the ground below and place the wings from the plane as grave markers (Adolf pops out of the "grave" chuckling and says "Nazis is de claziest peoples," a takeoff of Lew Ayes' "Monkeys is de claziest peoples"). Another cartoon (I don't remember the title) showed Bugs Bunny trying to stop an Axis gremlin from sabotaging an American plane. The gremlin taunts Bugs throughout the picture, throwing banana peels on the floor that makes the rabbit slip and almost fall out of the plane, dropping him through a bombing hatch, sticking his tongue out at him, etc. Soon, the plane goes into a dive, heading towards certain doom. But just as it's about to hit the ground, it stops suddenly. "Sorry, folks," the gremlin says to the audience, "we ran out of gas." "Yeah," says B.B., "you know how it is with these 'A' cards."

It's so important to remember the time period when these were airing...Nazi Germany and the horrors of the Holocaust were comparatively recent memory, more recent than Sept 11 is today. Many of the people viewing it would also have been shocked by the first images of the Holocaust as they appeared in newspapers and newsreels, and would have followed the Nuremberg trials. And it was the height of the Cold War. The concern that the world could just abruptly end in raging fire followed by nuclear winter was extremely new and, with the Cuban Missile crisis, extremely imminent. (I always think about that when I see the epiaodewhere the Earth veers out of orbit) Also, in response to realistic fears about the Soviets, American culture became *insanely aggressive* about conformity for a while, which Serling (like Ray Bradbury and many other artists) clearly hated, and rightly so. This was also right in the middle of the Civil Rights movement, with all the brutal, irrational resistance it faced, including police brutality, numerous murders and assassinations. Every day, America opened their newspapers and were confronted with horrors that compelled them to consider what being an American meant. The Twilight Zone is art, because it was not only razor sharp topical then, it stillresonates with us today with our different yet still the same anxieties.

It might just be me, but I saw Talky Tina as more of the protagonist of the episode. The step father was an abusive jerk and even the ending monologue states how “to a child caught in the middle of turmoil, a doll can be many things: friend, defender, guardian.” So, I kinda saw her as a guardian angel. A creepy guardian angel, but as she was protecting Christy, I was okay with her.
@gregorytyson9956 жыл бұрын
Good call. I too see Tina as more of an anti-hero than a straight-up villain. You also have to consider the fact that both the little girl and her doll share the same name -- Christina and Tina respectively -- suggesting, possibly, some kind of psychic link. It's certainly an episode that has more to it than its imitators.

At the part where his glasses fell, I actually heard a few people in my class gasp. A moment in this show was able to make a class of high school students that acted too cool to care about anything (especially anything that happened before they were born or anything that they saw in a black and white show because it was "old") gasp and that really says something about how good it is.

She had no lines to deliver (I wondered if her character was mute), but she delivered emotion at her plight and showed her resolve to beat it. Her plight being miniature aliens that had landed on the roof of her house and could not be considered cute.

It sort of was. There is a film called 'The Day the Earth Caught Fire," in which an enormous nuclear test (presumably Russian,) begins shifting the Earth's orbit, causing it to spiral into the sun. There isn't a twist ending, but an ambiguous one in which the fate of the Earth is dependent upon the success or failure of a plan to reverse the effects of the original nuclear test.

One that they didn’t mention was “Five Strangers in Search of an Exit” was really creepy too. A major in the military wakes up in a room without a door, and he and the other four people (a clown, a hobo, a ballerina, and a bagpipe player) all try to find a way to get out. I won’t spoil it here, but it always gave me chills.
