The Twilight Zone
Confessions of the Garbage People went splendidly. In a strange twist of fate, I ended up reading my own confessions.
It’s that time of year when I’m not in the mood to be introspective. Instead, here’s a list of my ten favorite episodes of The Twilight Zone, inspired by a conversation I had with Damian Harmony this morning.
10) “To Serve Man”: I always found the cookbook twist a little funny.
9) “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”: Now I always imagine a monster on the wing of the plane when I’m on a flight with turbulence.
8) “A Stop at Willoughby”: Spoiler alert: he dead.
7) “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”: An always timely reflection on paranoia and mob mentality.
6) “Where is Everybody?”: This episode is why I keep myself constantly occupied.
5) “The Masks”: If you dig this episode, check out the episode of Darkest Night titled “The Will Reading”. Plus, Lee Pace has a sexy voice. But I digress.
4) “Tim Enough at Last”: This episode is my worst nightmare.
3) “Eye of the Beholder”: I’m still haunted by the phrase “no change”.
2) “The Howling Man”: This episode combines some of my favorite story elements: a storm, a creepy building, and the Devil.
1) “Five Characters in Search of an Exit”: I’m a huge fan of the “strangers locked in a room” genre, and the ending is genius. Also, if you haven’t watched Cube, do so.
Comment below with your favorites, or if you want to argue. See you guys in the morning.
