Some quick Halloween pick-up! we picked these up while on our way to a Halloween party This past Thursday (Halloween!) we had to stop into Wal-Mart on our way there to get a few party things and did a quick look around. We got the entire original series of the Twilight Zone for like $20!! which I thought was a amazing price! We then picked up the complete series of the animated Beetlejuice for $20 as well. but the thing I was super excited for was the entire series of Night Gallery!! it was a lil bit more expensive then the other 2 but its great to have to to go with the Twilight Zone but I always wanted to see Night Gallery but now I can! its a good time to get these too winter is coming so we'll have to curl up and snuggle in on a cold winter day and watch some of this stuff

The Twilight Zone S5E17

Number 12 Looks Just Like You

“Given the chance, what young girl wouldn't happily exchange a plain face for a lovely one? What girl could refuse the opportunity to be beautiful? For want of a better estimate, let's call it the year 2000. At any rate, imagine a time in the future where science has developed the means of giving everyone the face and body he dreams of. It may not happen tomorrow, but it happens now, in The Twilight Zone.”

Most Twilight Zone episodes: A harrowing and haunting tale about the potential depths of human depravity, the risks of technology in a bleak and uncertain world, human sanity being push to its limits in the face of the unknowable.

Every other Twilight Zone episode: What if like... uh... weird looking aliens gave a guy super strength and he did a bunch of Looney Tunes type shit. That would be kind of fucked up.

Henry Bemis from The Twilight Zone 's 1959 Episode "Time Enough At Last" is autistic-coded (before autism was even a discussed and understood diagnosis): the gifset

People always talk about the protagonist of the original series episode "Minitature" being autistic-coded, but what about Henry Bemis, the protagonist from one of the most famous, if not the most famous, episodes? I've always felt a lot of sympathy with him, despite other people finding him awfully unlikable - including even other fans of the show.

As an autistic person myself, I can see some of myself in him, too, including the rather grim measures he is at one point considering going to, once he is all alone in the world... as the unfortunate reality is that autism can be a terribly lonely and alienating neurodivergency, and there is therefore a disturbingly high rate of suicide among autistics. As much as I love celebrating autistic joy, acknowledging our unique struggles is of paramount importance, too.

comp titles challenge: anon suggested, carmen sandiego meets the twilight zone

marisol is a thief. she works for a shadowy agency but she doesn't ask questions- that's not her job. this changes, unfortunately, when she is asked to steal a very unique map. suddenly, no matter where she goes in the world, she finds herself mixed up in unusual mysteries, from talking dolls to doppelgängers to small towns with a secret. where is she going next? the map will tell her, leading her to a new location each time she unfolds it. what will she find there? something incredibly weird and creepy, probably. at least the agency flies her first class.

Today from the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars: George Takei stars in "The Encounter," episode 31 of the fifth season of The Twilight Zone (original air date May 1, 1964). Takei plays a young Japanese-American man who goes to work for a bitter, alcoholic veteran of the South Pacific theater in WWII (Neville Brand). The two men are drawn into conflict by a cursed battle trophy as they both reveal the trauma they've been living with since the war. Both Brand and Takei give riveting performances. This episode was excluded from syndication packages until 2004; there are moments that are disturbing even for The Twilight Zone.

Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone (1959 - 1964)

[fanofspooky]

The Twilight Zone S5E3

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

“Portrait of a frightened man: Mr. Robert Wilson, thirty-seven, husband, father, and salesman on sick leave. Mr. Wilson has just been discharged from a sanitarium where he spent the last six months recovering from a nervous breakdown, the onset of which took place on an evening not dissimilar to this one, on an airliner very much like the one in which Mr. Wilson is about to be flown home - the difference being that, on that evening half a year ago, Mr. Wilson's flight was terminated by the onslaught of his mental breakdown. Tonight, he's travelling all the way to his appointed destination, which, contrary to Mr. Wilson's plan, happens to be in the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone.”

What does Rod Serling have against astronauts

[monoukotori]

I find it really curious that people think the twilight zone is just "wouldn't it be fucked up" with no message when Rod Serling was *THE* social commentary guy that specifically started writing science fiction because allegories got less censorship for social commentary than realistic stories. He got severe PTSD after fighting in world war two and that's why there is so much death in his stories. He was angry at the pointlessness of war and poured it all in his stories in where he criticized the society of that time, touching topics like war, racism, the red scare etc

Idk I feel like it's a disservice to his work to not to look deeper and try to understand what he was trying to say.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "A Quality of Mercy," episode 15 of the third season of The Twilight Zone (original air date December 29, 1961). Nimoy plays the radio operator of a U.S. Infantry unit in the Philippines, in the final days of WWII.

The unit is put under the command of an inexperienced, glory-hungry young Lieutenant (Dean Stockwell) who wants to take them on a pointless, dangerous raid while there's still time to make a name for himself. Instead, he finds himself transported, Quantum Leap-style, into the body of a Japanese officer. When he comes back to his own body, his newfound sense of perspective leads him to call off the raid just before they get the news from Hiroshima.

Bonus Dean Stockwell:
