I just started rewatching the old episodes and thought it would be pretty cool if someone picked it up and started making new episodes or even remaking the old ones. I just watched season 5 episode 19. That shite creeped me the frick out...again.

How many knockoffs have we seen from this episode?

Chucky...Annabelle (hell, the wife in the Twilight Zone episode is named Annabelle.)

I don't think it's depressing as much as it is creepy as hell

The one where the woman’s husband is buried under a telephone pole and he keeps calling her was pretty creepy. Also the one with the store mannequins

Our 6th grade English teacher was obsessed with twilight zone and would always play episodes during down time. It was awesome

Edit: just checked what season 5 episode 19 was and it was the old lady’s husband one I was talking about lol

mannequins - didn't realize how good looking Anne Francis was when she was really young until I watched it


The one that scared me when I was little was the aliens offering "vacations" to their planet when they were really planning on eating the people

For me, it's watching the "Twilight Zone" movie and the story where Vic Morrow and those 2 Vietnamese kids actually got killed by that helicopter is the most creepy.


The weekly show had some moments, but nothing like knowing 3 people actually died filming that scene.

Seems like I remember one where tiny aliens torment this lady (a housewife I think), and then the big surprise ending ...

Since OP is too creeped out to tell us, here is what it's about. The episode is titled Night Call

From IMDB

quote:

The elderly Elva Keen is not too happy when she begins receiving phone calls in the middle of the night. At first the calls are little more than static and her complaints to the local telephone operator, Miss Finch, seem to go unheeded. Over time however, she begins to hear a man's voice but out of fear, tells whoever it is to go away. When Miss Finch reports they've found the problem Elva visits the site only to realize the identity of the caller and that regardless of anything she's said, desperately wants the calls to continue.

There's quite a few that are darker even than the standard baseline that Twilight Zone set.

One that comes to mind is "Long Distance Call". A boy's grandmother dies, and he is able to talk to her through a certain telephone. She convinces the kid to try and kill himself to come join her in Heaven. That just gives me the creeps.


"Nick of Time" with William Shatner is pretty disturbing, as you can see the guy descend into madness over a little penny fortune telling machine. The end is good, where the couple decides to say "frick it" and leave, but then another couple replaces them at the diner table, still enslaved by the fortune teller.


"The Chaser" seems like a lighthearted fable, but is quite disturbing. A guy (One of the Darrens from Bewitched) is obsessed with this vapid girl. He buys a love potion from some weirdo and spikes her champagne with it. The potion works too well. She's relentlessly doting to him. He gets annoyed with her, and goes back to weirdo potion man and buys poison to kill (!!!) the girl. He wusses out and resigns himself to a life of endless annoyance.

"It's a Good Life" is obviously very horrific. Just the idea of that little freckle-faced kid that can turn you into anything he wants makes my skin crawl.

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a neat adaptation of an Ambrose Bierce story. Although it drags at times, the ending is brutal.

This one is one of my favorites. “It’s good Anthony so good.” Everyone walks on egg shells the entire episode.

It's from Night Gallery and the one where the guy flushes a spider down the sink and it comes back bigger. He keeps killing it and it keeps getting bigger until it's as big as a dog and kills him. I was just a little kid and went to bed feeling creeped out. The next morning as I pulled my shirt over my head, I saw a big hairy spider looking at me and threw that shirt across the room and took off.
