200 Questions

What was the best ever episode of The Twilight Zone?

This is subjective, of course, but fan favorite lists often include "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "Time Enough at Last", "The Hitch-Hiker", "Kick the Can", "The Invaders", "It's a Good Life", "To Serve Man", "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street", "The Eye of the Beholder" and "The After Hours". Most of these stories have been parodied often in shows like The Simpsons and have even been remade in subsequent The Twilight Zone series and films, a testimony to their enduring place in popular culture.

Fan suggestions:

  • I like the one where the mannequins come to life- really creepy! ("The After Hours")
  • There's something about "Time Enough at Last" that makes me unable to refuse watching the episode when I see it's on cable.

Why was the Twilight Zone discontinued?

Where exactly is the Hollywood Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Disneyland?

It's a ride.

You'll go up high in a building that looks like the tower from the movie, and then you'll reach the elevator(s).

When you get in, you'll sit down in a chair and be strapped down very well.

After the ride starts, it'll drop very fast for a little bit; then go back up. Then it'll drop again; then go back up.

After a little while, it'll drop very fast and for a long distance, which is the highlight of the ride.

If you weren't strapped down in this ride, you'd go flying into the air and hit the ceiling.

It's not good for the faint of heart, or anyone with health issues.

It's a lot of fun and kind of scary at first (:

Is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disneyland based on a real episode of The Twilight Zone?

When it first opened, the ride was predictable. Each ride was the same. They have changed it to a random generated ride so no two rides are the same. The height of the drops and the number of drops change with each ride. There is even one sequence where you get to the bottom, you think you are done, and then it zooms you up and drops you one more time. The restraint system has also changed since it was opened.

What is the salinity of the twilight zone?

The twilight zone on Mercury ( the planet) has been disproved. It nor longer exists except as a science-fiction concept. It was supposed to be a belt of earthlike climate between the two extremes of Brightside ( perpetually facing solar heat) and Darkside- the opposite extreme. these theories were based on a false hypothesis that the planet did not rotate in a normal orbit. So, the Mercurial Twilight zone does not exist- no chemical composition is possible!

What is the Twilight Zone episode about a doll house?

I believe you are talking about "Miniature." I don't agree. I remember the ending of the film: a girl had put her doll house into the oven and is only stopped by her mother before burning it there as she did before. The fantastic thing about it is: the man living in the toy house is alive. He has just started to recognize that everything in the house is made by the same firm and bears the same brand, his clothes etc. . It is like a short forerunner of the Truman story - sort of. In Germany it was called "Das Puppenhaus" but strange enough I cannot find it in any episode lists. Can you help? I don't recall that as a TZ epizode, at least not from the original series. Sorry I couldn't help. Thanks anyway, I think I found it at last: must be Child's play an episode of the hammer house of mystery and suspense. Can be watched on youtube.

What does The Twighlight Zone Tower of Terror look like?

What is the color of the Twilight Zone?

Television shows were cheaper to produce in Black & White. Show producers did not really think into the future about there still being a market for a year decades later. Most network shows were being made in color by 1965 but Twilight Zone ended production in 1964. Another consideration was the availability of color televisions. When The Twilight Zone went on the air in 1959, most if not all televisions were Black & White, so it wouldn't have helped to make it in color.
