Nov 26 06 2:38 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think I'd have to say Anthony, tho I've seen it so many times and created 35 radio shows based on it. I can recite the dialogue like most people can with Wizard of Oz. The jack in the box shot will always weird me out no matter how many times I see it. Only this year did I discover NIGHT CALL. I saw it on Sci Fi Channel, then went out and just had to track down a commercial copy of it. I could only find VHS with the cardboard gatefold case, but I don't mind. It's so simple, and doesn't it have just two actors? The lady and her caretaker? You see Rod Serling doing his intro with a cigarette, then think about him dying at 50. That's how old I'll be next year and I know I'll never achieve what he did or have his astonishing imagination. Sometimes I get sick of his misanthropic preaching to humanity, but TZ also represents quite a rebellion in the "man in the gray flannel suit" conformity of the 50s.

Nov 26 06 2:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Jay here: "Night Call" is one of the 'creepier' episodes, but very enjoyable; Rod Sterling had a style and ima- gination all his own, I did not realize he was only 50 when he died; and yes, that scene with the 'jack-in-the-box head' was very disturbing to me, even to this day. thank,JM

The Devil can fool humans, but a good dog will sniff him out every time.

Feb 11 09 12:45 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Anyone familiar with my Ventriloquist Dummy Horrors thread knows that THE DUMMY is my favorite episode, by far. I've always thought that TZ was at its best when it really tried to rattle the audience by plunging head-first into dark waters. Episodes like THE DUMMY, IT'S A GOOD LIFE, EYE OF THE BEHOLDER and NIGHTMARE AT 20,000 FEET must've been truly shocking in their time since they still hold up so well today.

Feb 11 09 12:58 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My runners-up would be the usual suspects, "Eye of the Beholder," "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street." I always thought "The Thirty Fathom Grave" was particularly creepy. But my number one was, and remains, "A Stop at Willoughby." It gets me every time.

Feb 11 09 8:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Fans of Walking Distance and A Stop At Willoughby might also like the Dana Andrews episode, No Time Like The Past, which is practically a re-write of Walking Distance (but not nearly as well done). I just recently got the Bernard Herman score for Walking Distance. It just came out, tacked onto on the 2008 Fahrenheit 451 soundtrack CD.

Feb 14 09 2:51 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The absolute favorite, the one I will STILL stay up for to watch, even though I still have it on DVD... "The Invaders" The near perfect television story. Almost no dialouge to speak of. The story is told entirely in images. A tour de force performance by Agnes Moorehead. A one woman show, really. The only way they could have possibly improved it waould have been to include Matheson's original final line. Sure there are other greats... Eye of the Beholder Five Characters In Search of an Exit The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. Back There Nightmare at 20,000 Feet Little Girl Lost And the one that they never show anymore... "Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge"

Feb 14 09 10:39 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	THE THIRTY FATHAM GRAVE scared me but good when I saw it during first run. So did THE NEW EXHIBIT. Parts of a number of those hour episodes gave me the creeps. Now they bore me. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Feb 14 09 10:41 PM. Edited 1 times.

Jul 17 09 8:51 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've been watching some classic season five Zones these past two days. Just a few comments: The Jack Klugman/Billy Mumy episode "In Praise Of Pip" is one of the best ever. The Bewitchin' Pool, though very heavy-handed, still gives me the chills. Nightmare at 20,000 Feet still packs a wallop. Shatner is awesome in this. Night Call is as terrifying as ever.

I love Shatner's look/reaction when he's talking to the co-pilot and figures out he's being conned. My favorites as a kid: The Fugitive, Nightmare At 20,000 Feet, A Hundred Yards Over The Rim, The Howling Man, The Shelter My favorites as an adult: And When The Sky Was Opened, Miniature, Mirror Image, The Silence Back to back Belly to belly I don't give a darn 'cause i'm done dead already The Zombie Jamboree, by King Flash Last Edited By: David Sechrest Jul 17 09 9:47 PM.

Jul 18 09 2:43 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Switched over to season one this morning and watched a few great ones: - A Stop At Willoughby (still gets to me after all these years) - A Passage For Trumpet (the first of FOUR TZ episodes Jack Klugman starred in!) - Time Enough At Last (I hadn't seen this one in many years in the spirit of giving it a rest. Still a powerful story. A defining episode.) - Perchance To Dream (still freaky after all these years. Scary music!) - A World Of His Own (great Searling cameao at the end!) - Mr. Bevis (one of the few TZ comedies I like) Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758
