image what happens when the mirror looks
back the episode mirror image uses this
idea to a profoundly creepy effect as
Star Vera miles begins to think her
reflection is stalking her and trying to
take her place in the world mirror image
achieves its creep factor slowly via the
misplacement of miles luggage and
disturbing shots of her reflection as
she leaves a women’s restroom it all
comes to a head near the end however
when a fellow passenger at the bus stop
where miles is waiting sees his own
reflection in the flesh and attempts to

[Music]
number nine elegy death is an eternal
mystery and the notion of it is usually
creepy enough for the average person
elegy takes this notion one step further
using a sci-fi setting to set up a
galactic graveyard full of stoic corpses
frozen in what seems to be moments of
eternal joy
it seems comforting at first but the
three astronauts who land in the
cemetery are more confused than anything
until they run into the cemetery
caretaker jeremy Wickwire – peace my
friends – everlasting eternal peace the
trio is tricked by Wickwire into
drinking Eterna fiying fluid after which
all three astronauts join the planets
silent statues forever locked in this
panorama of the deceased number eight
The Midnight Sun there’s a palpable
sense of panic and fear brought to the
table by The Midnight Sun I heard on the
radio that they’re only going to turn
the water on an hour a day from now on
the last two neighbours in an apartment
complex are brought together when the
earth detaches from its orbit and begins
moving closer to the Sun the episode
remains in the apartment complex for its
duration and there’s a sense of horrible
claustrophobia as the pair not only
fends off their own fears of death but
also the more immediate threat of
looting and violence outside combine
this with a downbeat twist ending and
you have a Twilight Zone episode that
still instills fear remarkably well even
number 7 little girl lost picture it
you’re a parent and you wake up in the
middle of the night – screams from your
frightened daughter all right sweetheart
I’m coming that situation alone is
troubling enough but add to it the fact
that the child and little girl lost
seems nowhere to be found and you have a
parents absolute worst nightmare
although this Twilight Zone episode does
have a happy ending the early scenes
featuring the disembodied pleas of a
girl lost in a parallel dimension are
Chris where is she I don’t know and help
number six the after hours if you suffer
from pedia phobia don’t watch the after
hours alone actually you might not want
to watch it at all as it just so happens
to be one of the creepiest installments
in the entire series run
you remember Marsha climb off it come on
dear Masha shots of emotionless
mannequin heads and scary faceless
voices punctuate the tale of a young
woman who forgets she’s actually part of
the decor at the department store where
she’s shopping in this episode’s
universe mannequins are allowed one
month out of the year to be human but
for some reason and Francis’s character
needs to be reminded by being frightened
out of her wits of course number five
perchance to dream
was this an influence for a Nightmare on
Elm Street
perhaps perchance to dream features
Richard Conte as a sleepless man who’s
terrified that his nightmares are out to
get him Conte hasn’t slept in days
because when he does he’s tormented by a
creepy funhouse the only a nightmare
everything walked and twisted out of
shape
the nightmares also feature a seductive
woman named Maya and when he sees Maya’s
face in the real world he jumps out of
his psychiatrists window in sheer panic
it’s not until the end that we see he’s
actually never left the doctors couch
and died in his sleep at least he died
peacefully number four night call night
Kyle follows a series of scary
late-night phone calls to a
wheelchair-bound woman named Alva a
moaning voice on the line is disturbing
enough but when Elva learns that the
calls have been coming from the cemetery
the mystery man does eventually stop
calling but the tragic twist is that the
calls have actually been coming from
Elvis deceased fiance who died years ago
from the same car accident that put Alva
in her chair Brian are you there Brian
Brian if you’re there speak to me
finally realizing this Elva can only
mourn her lost opportunity at speaking
with her beloved one last time adding a
tinge of sadness to the terror number
three nightmare at 20,000 feet
sure the gremlin costume in this
Twilight Zone episode may seem dated now
but it absolutely terrified audiences
when it first aired in 1963 nightmare at
20,000 feet is successful because of its
near-perfect pacing as it teases the
gremlin as a product of William
Shatner’s fractured mental state he sees
it attempting to sabotage the plane but
no one believes him and the gremlins
behavior on the wing is both humorous
and disturbing there’s a man
this episode received many accolades
from fans and it’s easy to see why as
Shatner’s unhinged performance and the
gremlins still creepy design make
nightmare at 20,000 feet a timeless
classic number two the hitch-hiker
the hitch-hiker is often cited as one of
the series classic episodes and with
good reason
this one is an all-out creep fest no
matter how far I travel or how fast I
Khali
he’s ahead of me the dread is palpable
as the episodes protagonist becomes
increasingly panicked and paranoid about
an old hitchhiker who appears all along
her cross-country drive anger Stevens is
brilliant in the role of men while the
titular hitchhiker delivers the scares
often appearing out of nowhere jumping
into frame with a sad blank look on his
face things get sadder still when we
realize that nan has actually been dead
all along
that’s nothing the matter with my mother
what do you mean a nervous breakdown
well it’s all taken place it is
suspenseful disturbing stuff before we
unveil our number one pick here are a
just couldn’t
[Music]

I always feel good life is pretty life
is fun I am all in all is one needle
please
number one living doll the og of deadly
doll nightmare fuel
taki Tina was giving audiences the
creeps way back in 1963 Tina basically
gives us the shivers from the first
moment she appears first as a loving
doll to young Kristi then as the bane of
her stepfathers existence Tina taunts
and threatens him incessantly with a
malevolent deadpan delivery as he tries
in vain to destroy the doll and get it
out of the house finally he trips over
the doll and falls down the stairs to
his death where he’s discovered by his
wife
