happy 50th Twilight Zone!!

twilight zone was my intro the world of the creepy, the thrilling, horror and macabre. i can remember watching it from the safety of my parent's bed with my sister george when the parents were out on the town and i was the "babysitter". the creepiest episode ever was "talky tina" about a little girl's homicidal doll. this was filmed in black and white (early 1960's i think) and pre-dated the chucky trilogy by about 30 years and oh, eons of style. my second fave was the the black box. a stranger leaves a box at an older couple's house and tells them if they make a wish and push the button on the box it'll come true. so they wish for money (you saw that coming right?) and their son is killed in an accident and they get the insurance money. so of course they wish for the son back, and he comes back. but they never come back the same do they?? muah-hahaha.

the history of twilight zone is covered here on the blog a shroud of thoughts.
