Perchance to Dream no doubt. My brain wakes up if I try to sleep, and every bad thing that's ever happened in my life comes to the forefront of my mind. I've had insomnia since I was a child. I would always lie awake for hours trying to be quite as to not disturb others. I need sleep, yet I hate it. The vivid nightmares are so real. Only a few short years to retirement so I won't have to force sleep with meds.

It's not my favorite - but one of the most eerie in my eyes
" The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street "
Is also NOT a top favorite of mine either
( along with " The Shelter " )
.
IMPO - I find the characters over-reacting
to every situation in it to be quite annoying
and tiresome
.
However it does seem realistic
as I have been around certain people
just like that growing up in my life
( just too much drama ! )

Thanks again screamingtreefrogs2012

Mine: You most fear "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"
This episode reminds us that the fear of thing is often worse than the thing itself. Neighbors turn on each other as a cloud of paranoia hangs over a small town. Why would aliens waste energy invading our planet when they could just let us tear each other apart?
WHOA TotheWatersandtheWild !
I just took this quiz and got back the same
exact results as you did here
.
I agree question # 9. was a riot
for choices there as well
( watching the original Star Trek Marathon on BBCA right now ! )
.
Thanks so much TotheWatersandtheWild for this fun subject post
.

But if they are, then why do we have so many solid Blue and Red states?

People Are Alike All Over
Because unfortunately..they are.

The After Hours for me. As a child and to this day (I'm 36), I've always had this nagging suspicion that mannequins have real people trapped underneath those fake bodies. Kind of like House of Wax

I got 'Time Enough at Last", which is my favorite episode of them all so it makes sense.

I didn't take the quiz, but I know mine is "The After Hours." Mannequins.

I got Eye of the Beholder as well. I think it's too talky and it's not a favorite now, but it's one of the first episodes that fascinated me as a child.

I got Eye Of The Beholder. I think I should have gotten Night Call. That one gives me the absolute willies!

Love #9's choices
Yeah, putting "Shatner" in there is LOL
Damn I'm good.

You most fear "The Invaders"
A little alien arrives at a farm house in an adorable little flying saucer. But the wee silver man is not as cute as he seems. Nor is he an alien? This is one for those who hop on a chair at the sight of a mouse.
It is?
Actually, I love that one.
Damn I'm good.

This one?

(Stopover in a Quiet Town)
Pretty unnerving.

Hawdd yw hi, i fod yn ddewr o tu nl i mur.

Stopover in a Small Town.
It makes me sick any time I think about their situation.

I had a nightmare a few months back based on "The New Exhibit", so yeahthat one..

Thanks, Dr. Julia. I've never seen
Carnival Of Souls
.
Yeah, go figure. One of these days.
But the first season
TZ
is a treasure trove of small scale
angst
and foreboding, and quite unlike the later seasons. I wouldn't call it better necessarily. Maybe purer. I like Rod Serling's opening comments better for this season than for any other. The emphasis is on the Twilight Zone as that of the imagination, which suggests that it could be horror or sci-fi but that it needn't be either (
per se
, I suppose I should add). The budgets got bigger, but not that big, later on. It feels like the was more "outdoorsy stuff" in the later eps (but then maybe not). I think of the
noir
ish
What You Need
as
echt
-first season
TZ
The aforementioned
A Nice Place To Visit
is another.

I always enjoy "Carnival of Souls", telegonus. Whenever Herk Harvey as "The Man" makes his first appearance, I find myself looking over my shoulder. It's involuntary. Such a freakin' eerie film. That abandoned pavilion is creepy.
You're right about the first season of "The Twilight Zone" having so many stark, fascinating episodes. My all-time favorite is "The After Hours". It's not the scariest episode, but it's fascinating and has its moments of suspense.

Yes, and it gets better with repeat viewings. If you're not in the mood for it,and understandably, most of us probably are not most of the timeit just feels like a lengthy, almost story-less fever dream, as it "what was
that
all about?", and I suppose rightly so. But there's more to it than that, something universal, and it can get to you at some unconscious level. It's very modern.
As to
A Nice Place To Visit
, it sort of comes down to "be careful what you wish for" in addition to, obviously, "mind your step" (etc.) as to how you live your life. It's a stark, fascinating episode, of which the first season had so many. Basic nuts and bolts storytelling.

"The Hitch-Hiker". It reminds me of "Carnival of Souls" (1962) which scared the heck out of me back in the day (and still does!)

"Perchance To Dream" is really wonderful, for its raw terror I think.
I have to admit though, every time I watch A Nice Place To Visit I cant help but picture Rocky being tormented with daily recitations by Pip from the
Winnie The Pooh
book series.
