Without a doubt, it hast to be "The Dummy," with Cliff Robertson. I am not that fond of ventriloquists to begin with, but I saw that episode for the first time when I was 25 on a rerun (the world did not always have VHS and DVD) and it scared he bejesus out of me.
Also the one where the couple wake up in the fake town. -

I saw this years ago BEFORE commericals cut into the episodes. I remember after they carried Cuckoo,off the plane one of the people noticed that the plane's metal was pulled back. Does ANYONE else remember this or am I in The Twilight Zone?

Many people talk about scares, but the one that really got to me was: The Grave (not written by Serling).
I was older when I first saw in on Channel 5 in Los Angeles in the afternoon. Up until that time, The Howling Man, Talking Tina and To Serve Man were the ones that I couldn't stop thinking bout and made me sit up in the dark pretty scared after seeing them.
But The Grave was chilling for me because of the situation. Lee Marvin was a hired bounty hunter who couldn't chase downor was TOO scared to chase down his prey. When that guy ended up in a town, the townsfolk got him but before he died he told them that the guy they hired, Lee Marvin, was too scared to catch him. So in confronting him, the guys in the town (who, when looking at them now, you'll find were the most famous western actors, Lee Van Cleef, Strother Martin, James Best) bet their monies that he couldn't go up to the guys grave and stick a knife in it (to let them know he was there).

I wont blow the ending to fork who may not have seen that one or haven't considered it "scarey", but it was a tale of, "did he or didn't he". The "did he" possibility still has me not going through grave yards for any reason.

I haven't watched these in 40 years. I'm talking about the originals. A few really freaked me out,but the one that creeped me out was the episode about that nasty old bedridden women who was being taken care of by an aide. After a severe storm ,she starts getting these crank phone calls in the middle of the night. She answers but no one is there. Every night someone calls and and slowly starts answering back Hullooooh..Hulloooh. And every successive call becomes a little more talkative. The lady finally at her breaking point asks who the hell is this. He replies her husband,who had died and promised never to leave her side.She screams never call here again and he says ok because he listens to all her requests,. It turns out that during the storm a telephone wire fell on top of his grave and he was contacting her from the beyond. When she realizes what happened and that it was her husband,she is so anguished that she has lost him for a second time. The voice scared me and at the end I felt sad for her.

The Dummy. It was one of the few that scared me. Most gave me a thrill with a twist at the ending. The moral of the story, so to speak. But "The Dummy" episode, was just creepy. And, as luck would have it, Cliff Robertson was always one of my favorite actors.

Oddly Mirror Image scared me and I'm not really sure why. I just remember the moment that Vera Miles sees herself in the mirror sitting behind her just freaked me out the first time I saw it.

The Living Doll and Twenty Two both come to mind. I watched Twenty Two last night and followed it up with The Night of the Meek just because it gives me such warm and fuzzies.

The head on t5b4he Jack in the Box was one of the wildest things I've ever seen on a TV show from the late 50's early 60's. I just saw the show in reruns in the 80's but I imagine when that first aired that must have been a terrifying image.
