I love and will always love the “Twilight Zone,” I don’t know why but it’s my favorite show and I personally think that it stands against any program on TV today. Here I would like to examine the more freakier episodes, sure every episode was suppose to be weird but some were a little more traumatic than others. So let’s step into the Twilight Zone for one last time.
The Hitch-Hiker (Season 1)
What makes this freaky is the unsettling feeling that someone is following you, wherever you go. That is what happens to a woman who is driving cross country and this man is following her. He obviously is a ghost but what happened? Is the question that haunts this program until the end.
Twenty-Two (Season 1)
Hospitals are freakier enough but what if you have to have surgery and keep having dreams of being the morgue? Personally I don’t like hospitals much and having a dream about dying in on is nerve-racking.
The Grave (Season 3)
The windy setting, the dark scenery, and the Old West is what makes this episode up. Did I mention that Lee Marvin and Lee Van Cleef are in it? Lee Marvin is a gunslinger that is basically dealing with a ghost story and he wants to prove it’s wrong. Well of course this is the Twilight Zone and it doesn’t turn out. I hated the windy setting and the dead gunslinger’s sister she was out there. I haven’t say it really freaked me out.
The Midnight Sun (Season 3)
First time I saw this one it will moved in me because the question in my mind was what if that really did happen? Something about the sun coming closer to the earth just is very unsettling. Perfect episode to watch during heatwaves to get your mind going.
Night Call (Season 5)
I don’t like movies or shows about phone calls, I’ve seen two films that helped me with that, “When a Stranger Calls” and “Sorry Wrong Number.” What’s worse it’s happening to this fragile elder woman who has her own skeletons in the closet as we learn in the end.
So if you disagree or agree that’s fine because I always think what scares us is a preference thing but one thing that we can agree on is that ”The Twilight Zone” was one of the best horror, scifi anthology on TV.
