Talking Tina. "I'm Talking Tina, and I don't like you."

Scared the crap out of me as a kid.

This one has inspired so much horror writing. And so excellently done. 100% agree.

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. If only because we had to read the story in elementary school a long time before I ever sat down to watch The Twilight Zone. Imagine my surprise

[–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely a fun one. "The Shelter" has a similar feel but I find it to be really existentially terrifying.

Agreed. I think the last few years the fourth of July marathon has been on a channel called Decades. Not sure if that was the case this year.

If syfy ever loses the new years marathon, I'll lose my shit lol

A Game of Pool. Jonathan Winters and Jack Klugman are amazing. And the moral of the story hit hard

Personal favorite is ‘Time enough at last’.

When I was younger we’d get a couple cases of beer and try to watch the whole marathon without sleeping. Try to do the same with the classic Star Trek marathons as well.

Just torrent it and marathon it yourself!

Also available for purchase on digital services like Apple and Amazon. They often run sales on it too.

"The Other Place" - I try to watch it anytime I see episodes rolling, it's so good

"Nothing in the dark" - I really like what they were trying to convey with it

"Purple Testament" - You know what's going to happen but just how rough it goes hits pretty hard

Alternatively, one episode I try to avoid anytime it comes up

"Spur of the moment" - The lady screaming at the start just makes me uncomfortable. Really uncomfortable. Like difficulty sleeping uncomfortable. I can't quite explain it because I know what happens in the episode and it shouldn't be that way, but it is.

They did show the OG show at 11 PM. 2020 version sucks.

My favorite episodes

  • Where Is Everybody?
  • One for the Angels
  • Third from the Sun
  • And When the Sky Was Opened
  • Two
  • The Arrival
  • The Midnight Sun
  • The Old Man in the Cave
  • The Masks

My favorite has always been "Walking Distance". The guy goes back in time to when he was a kid. Reading history it certainly seems like things were calmer back then.
