Don't know what made me think of this particular TZ episode, but after looking it up on YouTube, remember why I creeped me out as a child. n
Now am up for the night! *LOL*

Most Scary Twlight Zone Episode Ever!
- Thread starter launderess
- Start date
The one that always got me
was "Room For One More" where the lady had the same dream over and over and the nurse came out of the morgue and said room for one more honey, Then when she was going to get on a plane the stewardess said the same thing and she would not get on.. It blew up as it was taking off..

Twilight Zone!
I watched this one now, I didnt think it was the scariest. I didnt remember ever seeing this one but it was good. I do believe in the hear after so who knows. I agree with Sudsman "Room For One More" was one that really sticks in my mind. But they were all great.

That was one of my favorite episodes! Scared the crap out of me. The black and white just makes it even creepier! Love it.....I remember the fembots on Bionic Woman scared the crap out of me in the 70s!
Ditto that, i had caught this one a while back when JeffG, alerted us that a TZ marathon was on. Not to get off topic, I was looking for the old disco twilight zone theme, i found Manhattan Transfers TZ,twilite tone. but was there not a early or later one with a female artist? alr2903

Watched This One First
First time I saw this,thought "OMG" Mr. Death was one fine hanging man. Later when watching the screen credits, couldn't believe it was Robert Redford!
If "Death" looks like that, let me put my face on and freshen up a bit.....

Pete, the "room for one more" episode is named "Twenty Two". It's one of six TZ episodes that were recorded on videotape instead of film (this was an experiment by CBS, to try and lower production costs).
The videotape gave a "home movie" quality to these episodes, which didn't work at all for five of six of them (e.g. Art Carney's masterful portrayal of Santa Claus in "One For The Meek" was ruined by it), but it made "Twenty Two" that much more creepy. At times you can actually see tape creases passing by the recording head on the recorder!

Good old Reta Shaw, such a product of Maine, so perfect here as a housekeeper, like in The Ghost & Mrs. Muir and as something else entirely as Hagatha in Bewitched.
Gladys Cooper as the cripple in this episode and as the old woman afraid of Death when Robert Redford comes to take her home, also played the tyranical mother in Now, Voyager. Her roles were those of someone weaned on sour pickles.
I agree about the richness of black & white. I remember that stupid project by Ted Turner to colorize classic black and white films.

Night of the Meek and I Sing the Body Electric are two of my TWZ favorites, not that I have ever turned down an opportunity to watch Nothing in the Dark. I like the contrast in the quality of mercy between the "Slavation Army" Matron and Carney's Santa. The way his dream comes to fruition at the end of the play is a perfect ending, like the end of Nothing in the Dark, not like the bittersweet end of ISTBE.

I remember one eppisode
that was so strange called "Eye of the Beholder" where a girl does through many operations to look "normal" like the rest of the people in the world she is in. Only the other people have misshapen faces with pig-like snouts.
Another series was "The Outer Limits". This show was so scary, especially at the opining of the show with the announcer saying he will control the vertical and horizontal that my mother would not let us kids watch this show. I seen some of the old shows and it's still creepy to watch.

John, have you ever seen the "One Step Beyond" series? It and Twilight Zone were produced during the same time and shared many storylines and actors.
TZ did irony more than horror, sometimes even humor, but OSB was the opposite. The creep factor on some OSB episodes is off the scale.

Yes JeffG
I have also watched OSB as well. Good stories line, but still not as creepy as TZ and TOL.

Here is a link to the episode on IMDB
Johnathan Smith from "Lost in Space" played the doctor on this episode. I agree, I'm 46 years old and that episode still freaks the hell out of me. The other ones that tug at my heart is "A Stop at Willoughby" and "Time Enough At Last". People nowadays could learn great lessons from those shows.

A little off-topic
But as long as we're talking movies and tv...
I taped a lot of movies on my DVR to watch since there's nothing else on besides reruns and the Olympics, and it keeps snowing here.
Last night I watched "Baby Doll" (1956) with Karl Malden, Carroll Baker and Eli Wallach. I had never seen it before; God, what a TRASHY movie! No wonder the Catholic Legion of Decency banned it (resulting in its making lots of money!) Anyhow, I had to chuckle over the "appliance moment". Baby Doll comes into the kitchen and her icebox water-melt tray is overflowing: "I've got to get a Frigidaire one of these days!"
Aside from that, can anyone help me? My sister is looking for the website that "tours" or shows you all the sitcom and movie house sets for Donna Reed, Bewitched, etc. Someone posted it here awhile ago but I can't find the exact one on the web. The closest I've come is one on TVparty, but it's not the one I'm looking for. I tried using Robert's wonderful search engine with no luck. Thanx if anyone can post it or e-mail it to me (see profile)!

When one said "episode", really should have said Twilght "show" as you really need to see "Night Call" from the start to be really creeped out.
Night Call is based on an even more creepy short story. In that version the woman does not "loose" her deceased love by telling him to "go away", but rather the ghost calls again, and says "I'll be right over". Next day the elderly woman is found dead.
Short aside:
"Night Call" was filmed in 1964, find it rather hard to believe that even a remote New England town such as "London Flats" was still using operator assisted phone service. Tought by then all of AT&T's service had been converted to direct dial.

"Time Enough At Last".
Wasn't creepy to me, but rather sad and of course a moral tale of being careful what one wished for.....
Twlight Zone seemed to have many episodes dealing death and or ghosts. There is the one where the door to door salesman meets death on the street, then prevents him from taking a little girl's life, but in the end he himself goes "up there".

Twilight Zone &....
Outer Limits- both scared my sister N myself pretty well- Probably "The Bewitchin Pool" which was about the time our Mom & Dad could have been both parents in that one! They split soon after- Outer Limits...hmmmm - a toss up beteen "A Feasibility Study", & "The Galaxy Being" We both loved recreating the role of Ralph Cashman dragging through the street moaning for his wife- & made the voice of the "Galaxy Being" by talking through the Electrolux hose..

Not by a longshot. I was a lineman for PacTel from 1979-1983 and operator-assisted calls were still very common.

Anyone remeber 'Kolchak: The Night Stalker'?
That series was perfect watching on a rainy night, with the wind howling outside, smores and hot chocolate.
The creepiest TZ episode for me, that still sticks in my mind, was 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet' with William Shatner. Out of all the episodes this one gave me the biggest goosebumps.

Oh Yes!!!!!
Terror at 20,000 feet I saw when it first came on I could hardly sleep that night.But I always watched every episode of TZ.Never missed a one.I lived at my grandparents my mother had just passed away at 28,and I was never really afraid after that. I used to spend weekends at the funeral home on Friday nights and watch the show alot of times alone and I learned then that dead people wont hurt you.My dad was an undertaker.He would be out on ambulance calls and I would be there alone.Sometimes with the young apprintices that slept upstairs with me,so we would watch TZ and horror films at night on the local station 13.

As a kid, I lived for the Friday Night "Twilight Zone&q
The scariest:
Cousins and friends, we all watched together. The most creeped out we got was when a lady underwent several operations to make her face more beautiful. This was her very last chance at being beautiful. Throughout the show the camera focused on her bandaged head as she hoped and pined for beauty. Other faces were only shown in shadow. Then came the unveiling as the layers and layers of bandages were unwrapped. I remember how cool it was that they filmed the unwrapping form her point of view. Slowly the darkness gave way to light.
Last layer off, she's gorgeous. They show her a mirror, and she starts shrieking. Immediate cut to hideous pig-faced people and we all start shrieking right along with her. It was monumental. Brilliant. We went crazy in delightful horror.
My favorite is the Agnes Moorhead episode where the alien robots in the attic turn out to be from NASA. Very scary too with all the knife work, screeching and sound torture.
Nighty-night. Sleep tight. Don't let the demons bite.

When I was a kid, the scariest TW for me was "The Monsters Are On Maple Street", which demonstrated how mass hysteria can effect people. I was scared for weeks afterwards!
