The Twilight Zone: Nightmare as a Child
The Twilight Zone is often predictable to me but I wonder if that’s because I am so entrenched in Science Fiction that I see the signs from the start? Were those signs as obvious to me when I was a … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A Nice Place to Visit
Amazing that after so many years, I still remembered this episode so clearly. Mostly, that’s because of the punchline. One mistake in my memory was that I was certain the “guide” was named Cadwalader, so when he was introduced as … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish
The genius of The Twilight Zone is that it can introduce a few characters each week and make us care about them then pulls a fast one with some element of the fantastical. It’s an interesting storytelling technique because we … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Execution
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale; the tale of a fateful trip, that started on this tawny horse ‘longside this hangman’s noose… (Well, nothing’s perfect…) When The Professor (Russell Johnson) from Gilligan’s Island plays with a time … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: People Are Alike All Over
I’ll dive right in here to say I’ve always liked Roddy McDowell. It was because of his portrayal of Cornelius in Planet of the Apes that made me like him so much. I’d seen that ages before I knew about … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Long Live Walter Jameson
I’m thinking Long Live Walter Jameson was intended as a dramatic story, but I’ve got to tell you, I found it intensely funny. Let’s go over the plot: Walter Jameson is a really old dude who happens to look like … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: A World of Difference
I don’t recall if I’d seen A World of Difference before, but if I had, it was a very long time ago. Long enough that I was not working for a company that dedicates a huge portion of its research … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
I wonder if viewers of The Twilight Zone of the 1960s felt as I did with the series in 2019. I could not help but think that Jordan Peele wanted to hit me over the head with a message where … Continue reading
The Twilight Zone: Mirror Image
It really speaks volumes to the way Rod Serling crafted his stories. Here we have basically 3 people in one room for 20-odd minutes. You’ve got Millicent, Paul and a station attendant. Maybe you throw in a random woman who … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Elegy
Now that is interesting: I know I never saw all of The Twilight Zone episodes, but I certainly thought I’d seen the bulk of them, so to encounter one so refreshingly creative as this and have absolutely no memory of … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Purple Testament
Here’s what you have to consider: Rod Serling has less than 25 minutes to tell a story, get you invested and hit you with a punchline, something to zing the audience. Almost anyone can tell a short story: “A horse … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Last Flight
Well here’s an episode of The Twilight Zone that does not get a lot of repeats to the best of my memory and I can’t understand why. I think it’s a damned good episode. And clearly I’m not alone since … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Fever
Franklin. I know times were different back in 1960 when the Franklin Twilight Zone aired, but by franklin, was this a tough episode to watch. Conceptually, The Fever is franklin good because it speaks of the dangers of addiction but … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: The Hitch-Hiker
The Hitchhiker: it’s a staple of The Twilight Zone, a quintessential episode shown during every marathon. It’s eerie and yet relatable and has a whopper of a punchline. Inger Stevens plays Nan Adams, a young woman driving cross country when … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: I Shot an Arrow into the Air
When I was a kid, I had a late night line-up for our nights at our summer home. 11:30pm: The Honeymooners. I didn’t love it as a kid, but my grandfather did so I’d watch because he was awesome and … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun
If you recall back to last week’s post, I was discussing how titles are not something you can just slap on a show; they need planning and thought. Last week’s title I felt didn’t really work for the episode because … Continue reading

The Twilight Zone: What You Need
Back in 2010, there was a short lived series that, even with 2 seasons, only had 10 episodes. They starred Xander Berkeley, an actor I bet we all know even if you don’t know his name. He turns up in … Continue reading

After all these years, the title of this one had slipped out of my mind, but this is an episode that resonated with me from the first time I’d seen it. This is The Twilight Zone at its scariest. And … Continue reading
