Let’s Watch The Twilight Zone: Episode Sixteen
The Hitch-Hiker
Meet Nan Adams, she’s pretty, she’s young, she’s driving across the country (and also definitely the twilight zone) alone.
She’s currently stopped on the side of the highway after a blowout and while the mechanic who’s changing her tire razzes her about how she could have died, she’s sees him--a weird old hitchhiker man (or just a regular-looking old hitchhiker man, really).
She’s quite unnerved by it. As Rod Serling helpfully points out, from this point in her trip on, “her companion is terror, her route fear, and her destination quite unknown.” I’m not sure what that all means--but I am here for it.
She sees the hitchhiker again in town as she’s buying a new tire. The mechanic doesn’t see him though and as she drives out of town he gets right up in the camera’s face as her car goes by in the background.
She drives and drives and drives and drives and sees him and sees him and sees him. At some point her own voice over kicks in, wondering why she’s so scared of this “scarecrow man” and how he always gets ahead of her somehow.
At one point she’s stopped at a diner in Virginia and asks if they see a lot of hitchhikers around there. No, none at all the diner man assures her, you’d have to be crazy to hitchhike on the turnpike. But rather than being comforted she jumps up and screams about how she can’t wait to stop driving and how she’s starting to hate her car. (Okay, lady, see ya never.)
She sees the hitchhiker again while stopped for some construction. He actually speaks to her this time. “Heading west?” And rather than deal, she just drives around the construction barrier and screeches off.
Similarly she soon stops at a railroad crossing. Seeing the hitchhiker on the other side she freaks out and tries to beat the train, only to stall out in the middle of the track. She manages to reverse just in the nick of time. But now her nerves are totally shot. She is convinced that the hitchhiker was beckoning her, trying to get her to cross the tracks, trying to get her to die.
She keeps seeing him.
On the fourth day of her trip she runs out of gas halfway across New Mexico in the middle of the night. She walks to a gas station and wakes up the proprietor--but he is none too happy about being awakened in the middle of the night by a woman sobbing about needing gas because she has to outrun an imaginary hitchhiker.
She turns away from the gas man’s window and face plants directly into the chest of a handsome sailor (literally a guy in full Navy getup in the middle of New Mexico). He’s on his way back to his base in San Diego and she offers to drive him all the way there, just so she doesn’t have to face the hitchhiker alone.
He’s into it. A beautiful dame wants to drive him all the way to California. Yes, please. He stares at her uncomfortably as she drives and I’m worried that it’s about to get weird. But then she swerves crazily because she was startled by seeing the hitchhiker again. The sailor did not see him. Shortly thereafter she swerves crazily again. This time proclaiming that she was trying to hit the hitchhiker. Hoping that if she killed him she could make him stop. (I mean, normally that would work--maybe not in the twilight zone though.)
The sailor is NOT into it anymore. He does not want to be trapped alone in a car with this attempted murderess anymore. No matter how pretty she is. Not even if she promises to go out with him when they get to San Diego. NOPE.
Finally, proceeding alone, she makes it diner in Tucson with a payphone. She decides to call home. She wants to hear her mother’s voice and ground herself and feel less alone for a minute. But her mother doesn’t answer the phone; it’s answered by a Mrs. Whitney who informs her that Mrs. Adams is in the hospital suffering a nervous breakdown. It came on quite suddenly after the death of her daughter, you see. Yes, in a car accident. Caused by a blowout. On the highway.
Suddenly, all Nan’s fear is gone. In fact, she doesn’t feel much of anything, more like a cold shell. And she notices hers surroundings for the first time, the huge skies of Arizona, and understands that the hitchhiker is somewhere out there waiting for her, and she thinks she knows what he wants now.
She gets back in the car and looks in the rear view mirror. The hitchhiker is staring back at her. “I think you’re going my way,” he says.
------
This will not end up being one of the more memorable episodes, I don’t think. But it has a nice little twist at the end. And I like that it’s a woman experiencing existential terror for once. Why should men get to have all the fun running around being terrorized by the universe?

Yesterday, I ventured out into the city after a two-day hibernation where I just stayed in my room and ate. Today, I had to see my old university and take a real look at the town. I walked along the tram lines and across the many bus shelters towards the Rusholme area of Manchester. This is where all the foreigners in the city especially the Pakistanis, Greek and Indian people have built a mini getup for themselves. The place is crowded with Halal meat restaurants, kebab and burger joints. I strolled through the old shops and then spent some time smoking shisha in one of the local joints. It was a slow and steady walk as I wanted to enjoy my surroundings. At times, I would stop near a shop and excitedly tell the passerbys that I was returning after 23 years to this area and that I had done my university education here. Then I walked into a local Chinese restaurant called Red Chillies. A Beef stew with fried rice along with soup was my order and I had a few of Shaan’s friends for lunch as well.
It was evening by now and the air had a bit of coolness in it. Rusholme was buzzing as everyone was out on the street. It was Saturday night after all. The food joints, especially the Afghan and Greek joints, saw some major action followed by the Indian curry joints which were all full up. I walked past the humdrum to enjoy a smoke in the nearby gardens as I stared at young university students queuing in front of the union building getting ready to go into a gig. I desperately wanted to locate a corner shop of my old friend Sandu in this area. It was his parents’ shop and I wanted to know how my old friend is. But I couldn’t get the right bearings and finally gave up in frustration.
But it was my old university that caught my special attention as I walked on its many lawns and alleyways. The huge gothic brown building still stands tall with a prominent sign saying Manchester University. Yes, I had arrived at my Mecca, the place which nurtured me for three years. I could now see it with my own eyes. On the way was also the Metropolitan University and The Royal Holloway College for Music. This was the heart of the university area with motels, bars and pubs especially catering to students. Lots of cheap student accommodations are available here with large lush green parks to give it that very cosy feel. Manchester is full of bicycle lanes as a lot of students use bicycles to move about in the city. I grabbed a milkshake and got a free doughnut from a local milkshake and burger joint. The sweet milkshake with Oreo did wonders for me as I was feeling thirsty.
My next stop was the Revolution Pub. It was a watering hole with music and jukebox playing in the background. Folks drank beer or whiskey and played pool. Some just chatted loudly and smoked. The chatting was loud and so was the music. It was 10:30 pm by now and I decided to grab a drink of beer. Yes, this was truly Manchester ki Galiyon Mein. Two glasses of beer and I was in a mellow mood as I slowly strolled away towards Richmond Park, a prominent students’ park, which I would frequent in my student days. The night had set in by then and the branches of long trees were giving the area a special gothic look.
But how could I end the day without a full-fledged Indian meal which I tucked into during my walk back to my hotel Picadelly. Keema nan roti and beer, that was enough to please me. A full meal in a good restaurant with a beer or two cost around 20 pounds in the UK. Keep that in mind when you order.
The night ended when I entered my hotel room 459. Shaan arrived soon with his girlfriend and I put the lights out. I was tired from the day’s excursion and soon fell asleep and Shaan coochie cooed with his babe all night. But then, that is another story. So watch this space…

Hands up: anyone who hasn’t looked at a runway show and thought, WTF? If a six-foot-four Scandinavian Adonis can’t pull off Rick Owens’ glory hole trousers, how on earth can we average men? Even when such trends trickle down to the high street, they can present all sorts of problems – we’re either too short, too fat or just too sane to even launch an attempt.But tricky clothing shouldn’t be discounted entirely (unless it is actually glory hole trousers). As guys take more wardrobe risks, we spoke to style experts about how to steer such pieces from wacky to wearable. And the solutions are much easier than you’d think.Cargo TrousersCargo trousers: once military uniform, now an on-trend essential in many a man’s kit. But despite the recent surge, they still cause boyband-triggered Vietnam flashbacks nationwide.“The solution is in the fit,” says Luke McDonald, associate stylist at men’s personal shopping service Thread. “Make sure your cargo trousers don’t pool or bunch around the ankle – a slimline shape should sit just above your shoes and will flatter most physiques.”(Related: How To Wear Cargo Trousers)In addition, to make sure your style doesn’t go MIA, McDonald suggests flanking cargo trousers with simple staples such as cable-knit jumpers, desert boots and plain T-shirts in earthy hues or darker neutrals such as black and navy.Key PiecesNext Laundered CargosNew Look Light Grey Cargo TrousersBroome – Garment Dyed Cargo Pants Relaxed Slim FitRiver Island Black Slim Fit Cargo TrousersJean Shop Gene Slim-fit Cotton-twill Cargo TrousersTodd Snyder Infantry Herringbone Cotton Cargo TrousersTechnical RainwearTechnical rainwear is usually a terrifying reminder of sopping wet school trips and dry-as-a-bone Geography teachers, with most pieces falling firmly into the nerdwear remit.“Wearing technical rainwear is a problem because it often looks like you’re wearing exactly that,” says Mr Porter style director Olie Arnold. “Traditionally-speaking, they’re not the most stylish of pieces, with boxy and unfitted shapes more associated with the great outdoors.”But it isn’t all bad: “Brands are now placing technology from active sportswear within more stylish designs,” adds Arnold. “Look out for Nike Lab and Loro Piana – both offer pieces that have more in common with a blazer, which suits just as well over a suit as it does with jeans or sneakers.”(Related: Making Sense Of Technical Fabrics)Key PiecesTopman Stone Parka CoatRains Four Pocket Jacket BlueHerno Laminar Slim-fit Gore-tex Paclite Shell RaincoatNike Nikelab Acg Convertible Gore-tex Down JacketLoro Piana Blue Voyager Storm System Shell BlazerAcronym J50-s High-density Gabardine Climashield Bomber Jacket Raf GreenJoggersJoggers as part of an everyday, or even a tailored, look is something that has been on the menswear radar from several seasons now, so you’d think we’d have got the hang of it. But as Tom Courcey, editor at menswear etailer The Idle Man, points out – the wrong cut, fabric or colour can banish a whole look back to the weights bench.“Since joggers are usually worn around the house, they need to be styled in a polished way,” he says. “Many men take loungewear outdoors without remembering that they’re still head-to-toe in loungewear.”The solution is to choose the right separates elsewhere: “Opt for a slimmer, fitted pair in grey marl or black – a cuffed ankle will also result in a smarter silhouette,” adds Courcey. “Then team with a white tee, structured bomber and minimal leather kicks for a look more off-duty than straight-out-of-bed.”Key PiecesHe By Mango Plush-cotton Jogging TrousersReiss Alistar Jersey Sweatpants NavySave Khaki French Terry Sweat Pant Grey HeatherClub Monaco Loopback Cotton-jersey SweatpantsSuitsupply Navy SweatpantsUniqlo Men Dry Stretch Sweat PantsHoodiesNo longer the sole preserve of stroppy teenagers, you only need to look as far as the recent menswear shows to see that hoodies are back on the menswear map. Why, then, is it still so easy to look like a Linkin Park fan?“Hoodies are a popular choice thanks to maximum ease and comfort,” says Kasia Katner, lead stylist at Thread. “But that can often result in an unpolished getup.”Just follow Katner’s advice and keep the rest of your outfit smart and your colour palette simple: “A grey hoodie will sit with every other colour in your wardrobe. Pair it with navy chinos, a crisp white tee and minimal trainers, and you’ll create a look that is neither too mosh pit nor gym bunny.”Key PiecesE. Tautz Cashmere Fine Knit HoodieSuitsupply Light Brown HoodieJohn Lewis Made In Italy Premium Cashmere HoodieReiss Fountain Cotton Zip Hoodie GreyClub Monaco Slim-fit Loopback Cotton-jersey Zip-up HoodieBurberry Fleece-back Cotton-blend Jersey Zip-up HoodieGraphic Tees‘Graphic tee’ is an umbrella term for a multitude of printed tops. So naturally, it has its fair share of pitfalls.“Avoid anything too topical, especially when it concerns slogans,” says Giles Farnham, head of River Island’s Style Studio. “Your ironic tee may get a few likes on social media, but it’ll be a pretty short-lived investment.”A ‘Female Body Inspector’ gag is a shortcut to eating lunch alone, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t stylish ways to pull of a print. “A reworked band tee is an easy piece to wear with off-duty separates. Or, if you prefer a bigger statement, try a baroque or floral print in a muted colour,” adds Farnham.(Related: 8 Of The Best Sloganwear Pieces)Key PiecesAllsaints Smock Camo Crew T-shirtAsos Velvet T-shirt In Premium With All Over Floral PrintMetallica Inside Out T-shirtZara Skull T-shirtHe By Mango Printed Cotton T-shirtEtro Floral-print Cotton T-shirtWide-Leg TrousersClothing rails, much like our thighs, have been suffocated by skinny jeans in recent seasons. While we don’t see them going anywhere soon, peak-skinny is giving rise to something at the opposite end of the spectrum: the wide-leg trouser.(Related: From The Experts: Men’s Style Predictions For 2017)“Many people now favour comfort over constricted styles,” explains James Jee, head of menswear at Jaeger. “But not all wider shapes are fair game – beware of the flare.”To get in on the emerging trend without going full Saturday Night Fever, Jee suggests opting for a straighter cut instead. “Just be wary of proportions – an ideal cut should boast more volume in the waist and hip, with a slight taper towards the ankle.”Due to the wider leg being your statement, there’s little need for vibrancy, print or volume elsewhere, so keep your surrounding pieces muted and well-fitted so it doesn’t look like you’re dressed head-to-toe in your dad’s hand-me-downs.Key PiecesAsos Straight ChinosLee Jeans Brooklyn Straight Fit One Wash StretchTopman Premium Grey Wool Blend Straight Leg ChinosTopman Navy Wide Leg Cropped Fit TrousersAcne Studios Van Denim JeansJ.crew Wallace & Barnes Wide-leg Cotton-drill ChinosPatterned SuitsIf you prefer to tap Gucci’s Alessandro Michele over Tom Ford, chances are you sit at the bolder end of the menswear spectrum. But get it wrong and you’re likely to look more like your nan’s lampshade.“Patterned suits have been popular at special events and weddings over recent years,” says Jee. “But they can often overload on print or colour.”As Jee points out, patterned doesn’t have to mean turning into Liberace. “A tonal check weave or shadow windowpane is a quieter way to wear a printed suit. But if you insist on a bolder look, keep other parts of the outfit simple – plain shirt, leather Oxford lace-ups and no belt. Let the print speak for itself.”(Related: How To Wear A Patterned Suit)Key PiecesZara Polka Dot Suit BlazerNoose & Monkey Super Skinny Green Suit In Tartan With StretchRiver Island Black Camo Skinny Suit JacketTopman Black And White Twisted Check Skinny Fit SuitTed Baker Ellis Floral Jacquard BlazerRiver Island Ecru Checked Skinny Suit JacketBaseball CapsBaseball’s biggest export after foam fingers hit a home run in 2016, but there are still a few things to consider before stepping up to the plate.“Baseball caps can often look shabby or too casual,” says Farnham. It makes sense considering the headwear’s sportswear heritage. Unless you’re pitch side, leave branding on the bench and don’t forget to consider everything from face shape, to occasion and the rest of your look.(Related: How To Wear A Hat Without Looking Like A Fool)“To smarten up, wear a plain style atop clean, smart pieces. An unstructured blazer with a white Oxford shirt and tailored cargoes can ooze laid-back Williamsburg style.”Key PiecesHe By Mango Wool-blend CapA.p.c.

Alas, that didn’t make it any easier to wear.“Pink has historically been a tricky colour for men,” says Reiss head of design, Alex Field. “After all, it’s traditionally been aligned with women.”(Related: A Man’s Guide To Wearing Pink)But don’t revert back to black just yet: “Pink is an easy way to brighten your wardrobe, especially when paired with darker shades – preferably navy. Let pink take focus on just one item, and team with classic dark pieces elsewhere,” adds Field.Key PiecesNext Long Sleeve PoloReiss Steer Slim-fit Shirt PinkTopman Topman Premium Pink Padded Bomber JacketZara Plain SweaterOliver Spencer Envelope Cotton-jersey T-shirtNext Stretch ChinosPolo ShirtsFrom football hooligans to Fred Perry, the humble polo shirt has been appropriated by subcultures and sports stars alike, with varying degrees of success.“Polo shirts can look staid and sensible, veering between dad’s golf wardrobe and 1990s school uniform, making them a tricky piece to wear,” says ASOS menswear editor Luke Raymond.Spending that little bit extra, however, can pay dividends as it opens up options for pairing the tennis staple with both smart and casual pieces. “Invest in quality, specifically merino or cashmere knits or a pricier cotton mix. From there, style block-colour shapes with straight-cut denim or tuck into a single-pleat formal trouser,” adds Raymond.Key PiecesSuitsupply Off White PoloJames Perse Slim-fit Cotton-jersey Polo ShirtTheory Milten Slim-fit Poplin-trimmed Cotton-blend Pique Polo ShirtNext Long Sleeve PoloReiss Mansion Merino Polo Shirt Light Grey MelangeJohn Smedley Cotswold Merino Wool Polo Shirt
