Top Ten Twilight Zone Episodes
Beautiful premise and plot that sustain constant terror throughout all viewers. Tremendous actors who greatly portrayed one of the most essential morals exemplified during The Twilight Zone's run. Words couldn't describe how moving and magnificent that episode was, and it was definitely something that can be enjoyed decades beyond its time.
Favorite episode. Nothing can beat this one.
A great story with perfect pacing.
The diverse cast of characters, well-paced plot, mystery element, and epic ending make this a classic!
Suspicion makes it work. Great episode.
A terrifying episode with believable acting, a well-executed story, and William Shatner. Could it get any better?
William Shatner alone makes this a great episode. Also, the plot for this episode was parodied many times.
Always great to see classic Shatner.
Rod Serling's closing narration still gives me goosebumps to this day. The script and acting made a powerful and timeless story resonate even more deeply.
This episode has one of the best premises of the entire show with a fantastic moral.
Frighteningly true classic about human behavior.
The most inescapable horror imaginable - not being able to think or feel anything bad with your fallible and frail mind even in the most awful conditions. And, not a lot of people realize, it's a compelling allegory for monotheistic religions.
How could it get more terrifying? This episode was used in The Twilight Zone movie too, for very good reason. It's like seeing a real-life hell.
This was the first Twilight Zone episode I ever saw, and it hooked me into the show. Its clever writing, great acting, and surprising plot twist make it a solid episode. It also had a great, deep message at the end. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have seen episodes such as To Serve Man or The Living Doll.
I use this in my English classes in foreign countries. I present it as an example of perspective, societal norms, and social conditioning.
The first time I saw this, I never would have thought it was a cookbook.
My favorite part of this episode is Jason Foster continuously roasting everyone like a straight-up savage!
The dilemma between love for others and fear of your own death, combined with a suspenseful story with just enough comic relief that no one dies of anguish, makes this a highly underrated episode in my view.
This was a really impressive episode. I'm watching through Season 1, and this was honestly incredible.
So great! I cried the first time I watched it!
The execution of the plot is excellent with a great meaning.
"Any system that fails to recognize the freedoms of man is obsolete."
This episode was kind of sad but so, so true! We all wish to go back to our childhood at some time or another and relive those happy carefree days. This episode was just so brilliant!
More people need to see this episode and understand its message: nothing we can buy can guarantee our success, and "what we need" can only come from inside us.
Very first episode. An absolutely brilliant way to start a series.
