Twilight Zone Mania

I have seen a third of the 156 episodes of the amazing classic sci-fi-show The Twilight Zone. And it is by far one of the best tv-series of all time.

It took me one episode to get hooked and there have been so many great ones I just have to make a list of my favourite ones of what I've seen so far.

So. top 5 favourite Twilight Zone episodes. from ep 1-48.

1. Eye of the Beholder. ep 42.

My favourite episode. the whole episode besides 2 minutes in the end are filmed showing No faces nut only hands in a hospital. A woman with bandages all over her face are having plastic surgery to change her horrible appearance that makes her an outcast and a freak. Beautifully filmed and the suspense is unbelievable and the ending couldn't be more awesome when they take the bandages of.

2. The After Hours. ep 34.

Also one of my big favourites. A young woman shopping in a department store finds herself on a completely empty floor with only a mysterious acting sales woman. She tries to get away but ends up there again and you find out a starting revelation about her and the lurid people trying to approach her. Amazing story and ending! in true TZ spirit.

3. Lateness of the Hour. ep 44.

A perfect family, in a perfect house with perfect staff that waits on them, only the daughter finds this not normal and want the family to get rid of all the "perfectness" and start living like normal people. During the episode you find out that the father is an inventor and has built the whole perfect staff that does everything they're told and the secrets doesn't stop there.. incredible good and interesting episode.

4. Nightmare at 20, 000 feet. ep123.

One of the famous episodes, another one with my Shatner of course. A man returns home by plane after recovering from a nervous breakdown. During the flight he sees a monster on the wing that trying to make the plane crash. since his recent condition he believes it's just in his head and so does the people around him. A GREAT episode also with a real Twilight Zone ending.

5. Time enough at last. ep 8.

A man with a nagging wife trying to find peace to read his beloved books finds himself utterly alone after a nuclear war. He get himself to where the local library was to find a dreamworld of all the books he could ever want. But then.. tragedy happens. A great episode with an excruciating ending.

6. Nick of Time. ep 43.

A couple stops in a small city after their car breaks down and enters a café to wait. On the table a small napkin holder with fortune telling cards in it stands, and the man, slightly superstitious starts to ask the machine questions. The answers he gets becomes more and more eerily true and finally the man feels he have to follow everything the cards says. A really great episode and my hero Wiliam Shatner plays the man obsessed with the fortune teller machine brilliantly!

7. The monsters are due on Maple street. ep 22.

A really unusual episode where on a quiet street the people in the neighbourhood show their real faces when paranoia strikes them. The ending as Twilight Zone standard is really cool and unexpected, and really really clever.

8. People are alike all over. ep 25.

I saw this episode just the other day and when I read about it I thought it sounded a little boring. But it was Not, two astronauts crash lands on mars and only one of the survives. All of a sudden a knock on the door and some human-like martians welcome him in an environment similar to a earth home. All seems good until the end (of course) and you find out about the martians real intentions.

9. Nightmare as a Child. ep 29

One of the scariest episodes, A woman, Helen, coming home from her job as a teacher finds a young girl sitting in her stairs who knows intimate details about her life. The girl warns her about a stranger and then disappears and a man shows up. He says he knew Helens mother who were killed when she was a little girl and she starts getting back weird memories. As said, one of the most scary episodes of Twilight Zone, and how could it not be with a small..mysterious..spooky girl with a weird haircut.

10. Third from the Sun. ep 14.

When I first saw this episode I sat on pins and needles! It's not a typically scary Twilight Zone episode but it is beyond stressing and thrilling. Two families of government employees decides in secret to escape earth just before WWIII but a stooge tries everything to stop them.
