I love the Twilight Zone. I always watch the re-runs. My favorite episode is when Robert Redford plays death. He plays a wounded soldier, or something like that and stays at the old ladies house.

I love that episode! Ah, a young Robert Redford--he was great in the role!

Skippy, I love the mannequin episode--fantastic!

I also love the one where the greedy adult children try on masks to receive their inheritance from their wealthy father, and their faces become the masks.

"Talky Tina"

Oh, and the ventriloquist's dummy episode.

...and many more!

There were so many great actors on that show. I watched the reruns as a kid. It's so fun to watch them now--all at once!

 

[Linda W]

Oh I love the mask on too. That was a great episode and I love Talking Tina too.

Linda, I love that episode too!!

Coati, The mannequin one is when she doesn't know she is a mannequin and goes to the different floors of the dept store? Or am I confusing that one?

I love a "Stop at Willoughby" the man that rides the communter train and leaves his stressful life behind. Oh yes, I love the Alien one where they are all on a bus and then their is one extra person and they don't know which is the alien!

I also like the "Most Unusual Camera" that can predict 10 mins into the future. Gosh there are so many I love too! How fun to have the Whole collection!!!

The X Files even used Talky Tina as inspiration for one of their episodes!!

 

[coatimundi_org]

Skippy, yup, that's the one!

Oh, I also love the one where a group of people have established themselves on Mars, but then, they get the opportunity to go back to Earth, and the Captain stays behind, alone.

And the one where the guy flips a nickel, it lands on end, and he can see into the future--remember that one?

I haven't seen the two you mentioned. Can't wait to check those out!

That's so cool about the X-Files Talky Tina-love that show too!

That's a great one too! The guy left alone with the robot. Yah, there are so many!

Did you see the X-Files movie? I really liked it. I thought it was going to take up where the last movie left off--with the big alien ship at the end, but it was totally different! I would of loved it no matter what they did with it, because I love watching Mulder and Scully. I hope they make another movie soon!

ooooh the X-Files can be soooo scary. I always loved the supernatural ones. The movie is pretty creepy. It also deals with their personal lives more than we''re used to, which I love. The ending was pretty dark--I have to admit that I teared up! David Duchovny IS cute! He has a pretty shaggy beard for the first half of the movie.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents rules too!

Do you remember "Tales From the Darkside?" --I think it was on during the late 80s early 90s.
