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.
