I know both those episodes well. Loved the twilight zone when I was a kid. Used to be on late at night probably in the late 80s I think I was about 10. My mum and dad used to own a pub and when it closed at night they would come home about 1130 and we'd all sit and watch it together
we're about the same age, tho' i didn't discover it until about ten years ago when i streamed a large handful: i was curious and as an old-school Star Trek fan i started with the Shatner one: Nightmare at 20000 feet. That might've put some off for life but despite the cheap monkey-suit effect i really enjoyed it.
From the 40 or so that i watched i had some big favourites, tho' the names escape me, my 10/10's were:
- the one with the lone woman at the bus station who keeps seeing her Doppelgänger.
- the one where the world is superhot due to an expanding sun, the story centres on two women who try to survive cooped up in their home.
- the one where a bloke keeps having nightmares he's about to die, meeting a mysterious woman in his dreams: some proper psychedelic camera effects before such became popular.
- the silent one where a woman is harrassed in her home by a mini UFO. Quite avant-garde this one, like a performative dance.
- the disturbing one about a boy who has the power to turn his family into grotesque living objects.
...and many others were also damn good, just a few weaker ones. I think there's 156 eps in all.
Looking forward to going through them all now, i don't really find much value in most modern series, i feel they drag things out to secure more seasons...just feels a waste of time, a waste of my 'dramatic investment' if you know what i mean.
