Favourie twighlight episodes Part 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi i put a new topic up for the same one as before because most of the posts got lost sadly? but quite normal i nthe twighlight zone things getting lost or peopel rather, anyway i'll kick it off here again & tell you i love the episode's WHAT YOU WANT, where an old guy goes around the telling people what they want which is usually something strange yet life saving or something?

the other i forgot the name too maybe callled martians?

a huge guy is always bragging making stories to everone in his cafe i nthe end he does in fact have an experience which is unbelivable so funnie when he tells of how he was captured by aliens & of course everyone just thought he was making more same old stories, very funnie it was...

the episodes were often both funnie & cruel i found the cruelist was when the guy was the last alive after a atomic bomb destroyed the world, he comes out from a safe where he had been reading books his hobby & finally he finds the library with books to read forever however his glasses slide of his face as he looks down and they break i mean how cruel is that? he's alive forever but cant read his dear books anymore lol!

As a kid, I particularly enjoyed the hour long TZ about the "horrors of the wax museum" figures. They were some freaky! It wasn't until years later that I could detect ever so slight motion with the figures, which immediately gave them away as humans. Wonder when the TZ hours will be released to DVD? Or have they already?

MZ, I agree... TZ is by far the best TV has ever offered us fans of the unusual... the best writers (Serling, Beaumont, Matheson), composers (Herrmann, Goldsmith) and actors (far too many to choose from)....
a couple of my favorites are, "It's a Good Life" (Billy Mumy at his creepiest), "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" ("there's someone on the wing... some... thing!"), "To Serve Man" ('nough said), "Little Girl Lost" (Matheson based this on an event in his life), "Nick of Time" (Shatner again), "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" (ain't humans sweet), "The Hitch-Hiker" ("Going... my way?"), "Walking Distance" (can we ever go back), "The After Hours" (Anne Francis... mannequin or not, she's a hottie), "Eye of the Beholder" (not enough bandages to go around) and many others...
Thank you Mr Serling...

One small note on the DVD reissue of TWILIGHT ZONE:

An unexpected pleasure amid all the extras is the least obvious one. Having virtually committed many of these shows to memory by watching assorted broadcasts over many years, it is quite a delight to re-watch the episodes again and be taken by surprise each time by the "extra" three or four minutes that pop up in each one Ð the bits usually cut to fit in more commercials.

Just compare the running time of the episodes on the DVDs to the time consumed by a rerun of TZ in a half-hour slot on the Sci-Fi Channel, and you'll be amazed.

Picking one favorite is very tough, but I'll give it a shot:

"Mirror Image", starring Vera Miles as a nervous woman in a bus station who's haunted by her devious doppelganger. The constant rain and thunder, the emptiness of the station, the helplessness of the heroine -- it all adds up to one of the scariest half-hours I ever had the priviledge of spending.

My close runner-up:

"And When the Sky Was Opened" -- wherein three astronauts return from a mission only to find each other disappearing one by one. The really terrifying part about it is that once one of them disappears, all traces of that person vanish, as if he never existed.

I liked the gemlin one too with Kirk in it just because kirk has got screen presence and the gremlin looked like a furry teddy bear & you could see the wires attatched to it lol! lots of fun

Thought the later colour episode in the film was also very good & more funnie too, that gremlin was hardcore

i like the episode willoughby where the poor guyhaving hard time finds himslef in a place of his dreams all peacful & freindly only in reality he stepped off the train & snuffed it :p
