With Get Out mastermind Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone reboot fast approaching on the horizon, and the New Year and SyFy’s annual TZ marathon soon upon us, we at TalkHorror think everyone is double-due for a countdown of the very best classic series episodes for horror fans - the ones that even 50 years later, can still manage to send a chill down our spines. For those of you too scared (or too bored - no judgments) to peek - here’s a cheat sheet:
10. The Howling Man
9. And When The Sky Was Opened
8. The After Hours
7. Perchance to Dream
6. The Midnight Sun
5. The Dummy
4. The Jungle
3. Twenty-Two
2. Living Doll
1. It’s a Good Life
And five honorable mentions, mostly pushed off the list for time:
The Obsolete Man offers some truly nightmarish scenes of dystopia in its intro and outro, but between the two, the majority of the episode is actually more inspiring than horrific
The New Exhibit is one of the most blatantly horror episodes of the Zone, and offers scarier mannequins than those seen in The After Hours. But Martin Balsam’s portrayal of a man going mad seems a little too flippant to convey the horror that well
Nightmare as a Child establishes a superb framework for suspense, it just doesn’t quite have enough time to really build on it before the reveal has to be made
Nightmare at 30,000 Feet is a classic, and I know what they say about questioning the logic of a Twilight Zone episode… but certain decisions made throughout the episode were too hard to swallow to fully suspend disbelief
Come Wander With Me features one of the few lyrical pieces written for the Twilight Zone, and it is a haunting one. But the main protagonist is such a dumb little cad it makes him nearly impossible to sympathize with, which kills the mood
Outro theme credit to Remix Maniacs’ “The Twilight Zone”!

They have to wear an ugly looking mask until midnight if they want the money. While they are wearing it, he points out how horrible each and everyone of them is and has been to him and then at midnight he dies. When they remove their masks, happy to have the inheritance, they realize that their faces have taken the ugly shape of the masks....forever!!

One of the great things about the classic Twilight Series was just how much variety it offered. One episode could be scary, the next episode could be sci-fi with a social message and the next episode could be an odd light-hearted story. Basically there's something for everyone.

Beautifully put-- the new medium, with America's best writers-- from radio -- with our best talent --- and thank Goodness for us that execs were willing to take risks back then without the fear of losing their job by 6pm that same say over a gigantic expensive flop they greenlit, but were too exhausted to remember. When you had "the Ford Hour" or the " Westinghouse hour", the stakes between the producers and the sponsors would be for that performance of that show only -- a quick turnaround, low budgets, and accountability -- no wonder the quality was so consistent -- the Twilight Zone team were all veterans of Live TV's Best-- Kraft Playhouse 90, You Are There, etc... these tight-knit teams knew everyone else's job, bc the show had to go on the air no matter what-- if the gaffer wasn't there -- someone else had to do it -- bc that airtime had to be filled. You got a lot of real Pros coming up that way. And most important, they didn;t worry if different lobbies complained. The Twilight Zones were not afraid of being called hokey or maudlin. The Robot Grandmother Episode was one of the most heartwrenching episodes I remember-- including modern television .... I cried for her when I was little. The show seems to have touched everyone in every master emotion. Wow.

I wrote an essay about the golden age of television, and I did a compare and contrast between the twilight zone, and Alfred Hitchcock‘s horror hour I believe it was called. The thing about Rod Serling is he was a short story. Writer in the magazines didn’t like the spin he was putting on these stories. He was offering too much social commentary, and spinning it into a sci-fi thing, so they kind of scooted him off to television which was the new thing and figured he wouldn’t go far with his weird stories. Come to find out he had an audience. He developed a cult following and then from there the show just blew up. It is currently 2023 and I can still sit down in front of the TV and watch episodes of the twilight zone that I have seen many times and still get the heebie-jeebies scared out of me.

The episode with Gladys Cooper where she's an elderly shut-in and her phone begins to ring every night. Then we learn that the caller is her long-dead boyfriend Brian, whom she accidentally killed because she insisted on driving all those years before. When she finally realizes it was her old BF (after she had screamed at him to leave her alone) she is taken to the cemetery by her nurse (as she was paralyzed in the accident.) Then she realizes that the phone line was hanging down broken, right at his grave. She then receives one last call from "Brian" and he promises to never bother her again, which saddens and upsets her until she begs him not to leave her. It is SCARY and CREEPY and a little bit sad.

and when they had the "reveal" of what she looked like...voila!...it was Donna Douglass that played Elly May Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillys. Initially when it first aired, I didn't notice little things about the various scenes. Just like other stuff as you grow and learn, you pick up on stuff and ask..hmmm. with this episode it was all the gauze used to cover her face...OMG..what all THAT necessary (ha ha ha). I, too, am a huge fan of the show. Watch the marathon whenever one's on. So many good actors appeared on it through out the decades and made several appearances in different episodes. Hats off to Mr. Serling and other writers, directors, producers.

My comment exactly to someone else who responded. Those of us who are huge fans of classic t.v. and movies can appreciate this genre. Robert Redford, Martin Balsam, Agnes Moorehead, Robert Duval, Telly Savalas, Inger Stevens, and so many more who went on to great, working careers. While on the subject of the show, I just want to comment about another episode which starred one of my crushes, William Shatner, in which he was flying on a plane ("Nightmare at 10,000 Feet") and kept seeing a "creature" on the wing. Well, I gotta say, that furry costume (a wet gorilla?) the actor was wearing was a hoot! AND the face of the "creature" had the same mask/features from a couple other episodes (I pick up on stuff like that as others pick up on production errors on movie sets...I'm anal that way....oh well). But, hey, it's all good and still classic and still fun.

Having watched the original episodes in 1959, my favorites are “ And when the sky was Opened ”, “ Walking Distance, “ and “ It’s A Good Life. “ Because of Serling's writing and other contributors, the stories hold up today. As well, the actors were extraordinary in delivering their roles. I still get a visceral chill when Hutton points to the non-existent bed and says, " Oh, my God! " Being at the crossroads of radio and television productions, a veritable who's who of great talents were available for the Twilight Zone. Although I have watched the new TZ by Peele, I have not seen anything comparable to the original series. And of course, Rod's intros and outros are iconic!

It's awesome that The Twilight Zone is such a ubiquitous experience. Everyone, regardless of age, seems to have fond memories of the original run. Everyone can look to it for something unsettling, something that will rattle your feeling of safety. I never hear anyone call it overrated when it comes up. You mention The Twilight Zone, and everyone wants to pitch in what their favorite episode was (mine was The Silence). It's a monolith of surrealist horror that everyone who has experienced western society can come together and stand in awe of. It is not merely a cultural touchstone, it is THE cultural touchstone. And behind it, one of the most eloquent philosophers to walk the earth.

I think "To Serve Man" suffers from being one of the most parodied episodes ever. I saw the twist coming because Is aw the Simpsons episode about it before. Still a classic though.

Perchance to Dream is my favorite episode but also the most terrifying. I’ve had a bad heart since I was young, and my dreams are so intense I can’t always get out of them even when I’m completely aware I’m dreaming.

These are all good choices for scariest Twilight Zone episodes. However, "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" still scares me when I see it. When I was a child, it absolutely terrified me. Another one that had a completely surprise ending was "A Stopover in a Quiet Town."

_The Hitchhiker_ would've been on my list, that is definitely one of the creepiest tales ever. Along with, _The Obsolete Man_ , _Eye of The Beholder_ , _Nightmare At 20,000 Feet_ , _To Serve Man_ , _The Masks_ , _The New Exhibit_ etc. etc., all very creepy episodes.

That one horrified me. One by one they disappear and no one remembers that there were three Astronauts that went up to space and came back. Just by them disappearing like that shook me. And the other two were both Shatner episodes and Classics. One with the diner and creepy fortune Teller telling them not to leave. And the other was my favorite where the Gremlin creature was attacking the engine of the plane. When he opens the little window and that Ghoulish creatures face is looking back at him that made me jump! Then he asks for witnesses and that damn thing jumps away every time making him look crazy! He finally gets his revenge on the creature by shooting it dead. I swear I would do the same damn thing although I’d probably get swept out the plane and get sucked up into an engine with my luck. Rod Serling had a great imagination and was a great writer at times! RIP Serling

@katrinajones8788 4 жыл бұрын

This episode was brilliant and I can imagine it was even more scary during the time it aired back in '59 because this was BEFORE space travel, so no one really knew if this would really happen or not. Rod was a genius.

I also felt that The Shelter seemed prophetic. Mostly when hate and racism erupted during the crises. At the end when the crises was over everyone wanted to get back to normal. The doctor, however, told them their idea of "normal" will never be restored. He then went on to say that they destroyed each other without a bomb. I feel that with all the hate, racism and violence going on we are destroying each other as much as the Coronovirus is destroying us!

The short story "It's a Good Life" by Jerome Bixby was written about 10 years before the TZ episode was broadcast. It is much more disturbing & terrifying than what television was able to air in that time period.

For me "The Shelter" was the scariest. Because it was, and remains, quite possible. The panic and turning on each other as doomsday approaches was far more pronounced than either "Midnight Sun" or other similar themed episodes such as "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". The other one that freaked me out when I was a kid was "The Arrival". When the FAA guy commits to testing his theory by sticking his arm out and slowly walking towards the spinning propeller of a DC-3 to prove it's all in their minds had me wigging out when I was young.

Normal human beings can be the worst monsters given the chance. And we want alien beings to contact us why? They may show up one day and look at us and say why should we come here? You beings are scary and you need to learn how to control yourselves first and then maybe we'll come back...
