Terror at ? Feet… the one with Shatner.

11. To Serve Men scare the crap out of me, and my brother.

We got so agitated my mother had to calm us down.
Then dad said no more Twilight Zone.

That upset us even more.
My mother relented and we watched it next week.

28. It's a cookbook!

[FalloutShelter]

29. Hah ... yup.

Great reveal. Classic!

[keithbvadu2]

30. And it's not Southwest... You're making this flight.

[NowsTheTime]

36. LOL

[Stargleamer]

2. Nightmare at 20,000 feet

[Mr.Bill]

3. An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge

Unique even for the Twilight Zone in several ways. It was not written by Rod Serling and it has no dialogue.

12. I will have to see if I can find this one, sounds interesting.

[Paladin]

22. Dramatization of a famous Ambrose Bierce short story. Good episode. (nt)

[Haggard Celine]

4. My favorite is the one with a man who is about to die,

and his family came to New Orleans to be with him while he passed. He has these hideous masks made for them to wear, and he tells them all off before he dies. I won't spoil the ending, but if you see the series available on Prime or Hulu or somewhere, check it out.

5. no judgement here ... but... you guys know the names of episodes from 1960's ? Seriously. ?

You all remember them from that long ago?

[Laffy Kat]

6. Re-runs. nt

[NowsTheTime]

7. There have been repeats of the series over the years

[Mr.Bill]

14. I remembered mine from back then.

A month ago was only the second time I've seen it.

[Srkdqltr]

25. Cool.

[madamesilverspurs]

8. The one about the trophy hunter

who winds up with his head on the wall.

9. The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank

James Best was Jeff Myrtlebank, a man who died (maybe) and who came back to life. His neighbors in the backwoods thought him a “haint.”

It opens with his funeral. Suddenly the casket starts to open and a hand came out. I was seven, alone in the living room, and I swear to God I levitated before exiting stage left.

10. The Howling Man

[Irish_Dem]

13. The Invaders with Agnes Moorehead.

It freaked me out but also taught me a big lesson.

An elderly woman, poor, living by herself in a remote cabin is being tormented by a small
entity of some sort. Looks like a little man from space. It is making her crazy stalking her all
over the cabin. The ending hit home, and taught me that many times things are not what
we think they are.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Yeah, that was a good one.

[Irish_Dem]

16. My brother and I were US Air Forces kids so we freaked out at the ending.

We knew exactly what we were looking at when we saw the marking on the spaceship.

The whole show you feel sorry the elderly woman, and hate the tormentor.
Then your world turns over in a second at the end.

17. NowsTheTime ..........

Great post!

My favorites are: (in no order)

A Stop at Willoughby
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
It's a Good Life
Walking Distance
And When The Sky Was Opened

There are others but these are the ones that I never tire of.

[NowsTheTime]

27. Thanks!

I admire Rod Sterling for his beliefs against war and prejudices........

[IcyPeas]

18. Little Girl Lost - the little girl who falls into the wall to another dimension

[Paladin]

21. That's my favorite. I have friends who have nightmares about that one.

Close runner-ups: "To Serve Man" and "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street."

[rurallib]

19. "He's Alive" with Dennis Hopper as

someone who takes on thee Hitler personna.

And of course "Night of the Meek"

[Brother Buzz]

20. Burgess Meredith's 'Time Enough At Last' deserves an honorable mention

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_at_Last

[Aristus]

31. As a bookworm myself, I was DAYS getting over that one when I first saw it

around age eight or so. Even though I'm not disablingly nearsighted.

[surrealAmerican]

23. Many of those already mentioned and ...

... The After Hours (I may be wrong about that title). It's the one with the woman in the department store trying to return a thimble.

[vercetti2021]

24. Deaths Hand Revisited

An old SS officer goes back to his old grounds just to be tortured by the spirits of the jews he massacred.

That and A shot an arrow in the sky, He's Alive, Obsolete Man, Midnight Sun

Stopover in a Quiet Town (what a weird episode it is)
