No gore, just a very frightening scenario played out in a sleepy English village.

Tonight we get together with another couple and marathon the Twilight Zone. His wife and I are savants on the series, we compete to who can identify the episode before the opening narration. It is rare for it to go past six seconds before she or I call out which episode it is.

(7,158 posts)Twilight Zone episode in a Western town that depicts the nativity...
could never find it
Thanks in advance!

(22,830 posts)I think it may be the episode "Dust" about a man whose son is going to be hanged. The father may pray before a nativity scene. I'll have to ask Theresa tonight.
The only Christmas episode TZ did featured Art Carney as a drunken store Santa.

(7,158 posts)in the 90's never saw it again...
sarisataka
(22,830 posts)In that season they did hour long episodes and they are some of the rarest and least known.
Even Teresa and I can struggle on them because the marathons do not typically show them.
I'll see if she can confirm it or if she knows which one of the lost episodes that is

(22,830 posts)Teresa couldnt think of an episode with a Nativity in a western setting either. She is going to pull out her DVDs to research this.
She asked if you were sure it was the Twilight Zone and not possibly Outer Limits or the Hitchcock show
justaprogressive
(7,158 posts)but since I own the complete original, Hitchcock Presents and The
Outer Limits and have binge-watched them in the last three
years, I'm sure it's not them.
It is definitely filmed in B+W. Western town type building.
I have an image in my mind of the room. It's like a bar or cafe or bus stop/
restaurant. I think "Joseph" and "Mary" were Mexican not white.
That's all I got!
Thanks for your help!
sarisataka
(22,830 posts)Because what you are describing is exactly what I am picture in my head. So i'm sure you're right and it exists.
This promises to be an enjoyable research trip through classic t v
