Always my favorite: episode #130 "The 7th Is Made Up of Phantoms"

Three National Guardsmen join Custer's Last Stand.

"Too bad they couldn't have brought the tank up; it might've helped".

The Howling Man.

Time Enough at Last is mine as well.

It's a Good Life. When Billy Mumy turns that guy into a Jack in the Box, it really CREEPS ME OUT!!!!

Not a Twilight Zone episode but "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" "The Man from the South" Peter Lorrie and Steve McQueen (I think) a great short story also.

Did not watch it much.

Being forced to watch TV would be a nightmare for me.

I'll second "It's a Good Life". That one is one of the few truly creepy episodes. "The Howling Man" was a memorable one, too.

"Talking Tina" belongs on the list.

always like the Charles Bronson & Elizabeth Montgomery Episode Damn she was Hot

The one that gave me nightmares as a child was "Nightmare at 20000 Feet." Another scary one as a kid was "The Invaders."

I dont remember the name of the episode,but the one where the lady keeps getting phone calls from her dead husband and they find that the phone line is lying across his grave.

I agree with Jim Selzer "Two" was one of my favorites and Elizabeth Montgomery was indeed HOT

The Hitch-Hiker. Seriously scary when I first saw it.

Always found the episode with the Stuart Tank Crew at Little Big Horn a most interesting What-If!!

Another one, of which I don't recall the title for the moment, a middle-aged Southern Women sits on the porch of her somewhat burned out mansion watching soldiers walking past on the road which passes in front of the house waiting for her Husband to finally come home. A Sargent comes by and asks for a drink from the well.

They converse for a while and he admits to having served with the woman's husband. As night rolls in soldiers keep walking by wearing blue and gray. The Sargent both thinks, and knows he was killed, but isn't totally sure. He also believes the woman to be dead, as they converse. Finally the husband comes down the road astride his best loved steed. The wife wants him to go into the house, yet he feels compelled to keep going down the road.

Finally, as the episode ends Abraham Lincoln comes striding down the road!

I think it one of the most compelling episodes!

Introduced by Ron Serling and produced by a French company- "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"
Owl Creek forms the North Western boundary of the Shiloh battlefield.

Not watched a single twilight zone.

Watched lots of parodies, (Simpsons, futurama)

Great writing and excellent acting. The show is still outstanding. Not sure which episode was my favorite but many of the ones mentioned already are up there. Mabey the one about the WW1 biplane that lands at an American air force base in england….

When I was with NPS I worked with a friend who had been stationed at Little Bighorn. He said that at the end of any talk he did at last stand hill by the monument he would add, and for those of you who saw that twilight zone episode (he then pointed to the guys names) look they really were here! Always someone in the crowd laughed.

Not necessarily my favorites (that would be a hard list to make), but perhaps among the most nightmarish to me is the one where the old invalid lady alone in her house starts to receive phone calls from someone buried in the graveyard, where a telephone wire blew down (in the original story, the last message is that he's coming to see her, having discovered where she lives; the TV version changed it); and the one -- "Shadow Play?" -- where the protagonist keeps reliving his trial and execution over and over again except after each death the supporting characters all change identities but the result is always the same for the prisoner. An endless loop of torment where only the prisoner realizes what's happening but cannot convince anyone else.

The one where the little girl rolled from her bed,through the wall and into another dimension. I would not sleep in my bed for weeks as it was also against the wall! I also found the howling man very creepy.

The man who makes a bet he won't speak a word for an entire year.He succeeds,revealing he had his vocal cords removed,but the man he wagered with ,turns out to be broke. Or the lady who has a premonition involving a Room 22 and the nurse who tells her,"Room for one more,honey." Which she also hears from an airline stewardess,when about to board a "Flight 22". She's so spooked she skips the flight,which takes off w/o her,then crashes,killing all aboard. And "The Obsolete Man". Classic. Of the 1980's incarnation of the series,"The Mind of Simon Foster" sticks out well in my mind. A man who trades his memories for money,and "To See The Invisible Man".

what I like most about the series is even though I have been watching them for 35 years, every time there is a marathon (New Years for example) I always seem to see one I never saw before…

"The Toys of Caliban" is probably my favorite and creepiest episodes from the 1980s "New Twilight Zone" run. It takes the premise from "It's a Good Life" to another level -- what does a couple do about their mentally retarded son who has telekenetic powers and can produce objects at will?

To Serve Man. In the decades since its airing, it has become a hackneyed meme, but in the 60's (when I saw it as a kid), it was pretty creepy and terrifying.

Back to the original series, a shout out for the one where the protagonist has returned to the city from Africa, where a ju-ju man put a curse on him, and strange manifestations of tribal hoodoo and hallucinatory visions and sounds assail him one night as he makes his way home alone on the dark streets. Growing more and more terrified by his sense of isolation and the sinister encounters, he finally makes it back to his silent apartment -- where he opens the door to the bedroom, where we see the legs of his wife sprawled on the floor and then a lion leaps at him (into the camera). That one is still creepy to me alone at night in a dark house.

My personal nightmare?
More than a few, actually, though as a child, "The After Hours" had me wondering about department store mannequins for years.

My all-time favorite episode, hands down, no second place, is "The Hunt".

Oh, and for the record: My wife still cannot look out of a window at night thanks to "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
