Twilight Zone turns golden today (page 3)

Deputy Dog

Remember the one where Burgess Meredith plays the devil and lights his cigar with his finger.

Time enough at last was one of my favourites too.

White Dove

Elizabeth Montgomery and another guy who were the last surviving people and were enemies but came together later after trying to kill each other.

Oh gosh! I like so many of them! Escape Clause is a great treatise on how we are truly not meant to be immortal... The Long Morrow... I think the entire first season was absolutely brilliant!

Escape Clause was great. I also liked And when the Sky was opened.

Ooh, and People are alike all over.

How about the one starring Steve McQueen. He made a bet with a guy in a bar that he couldn't light his zippo lighter ten times in a row. If he won, he got the keys to a brand new Cadillac, but if he lost, the guy would cut off his little finger. The guy tied his finger down on a table, so if McQueen lost, he couldn't get away.

Just as McQueen started to try to light up his zippo for the tenth time, the other guy's wife came in and stopped the bet. She said she was the guy's wife and that was HER Cadillac, not his. She said something like "I earned it." Then she went to pick up the keys off the table with only two fingers left on her hand.

Then, out of curiosity, McQueen tried to fire off his lighter for the tenth time, and it wouldn't light!

Creepy!

There was one with Roddy McDowell in which a painting kept changing to mirror the creepy events outside (the guy McDowell murdered rising from his grave and lurching back to the house to seek revenge). I think the butler got murdered too.

Actually that episode with Roddy McDowell is from Rod Sterling's Night Gallery series, but it's also on of my favs. The butler, Ozzie Davis, was really the instigator of Roddy's death but Ozzie got in the end the same way.

mrsjones: The butler, Ozzie Davis, was really the instigator of Roddy's death but Ozzie got in the end the same way.

So the butler DID do it and got it too. Good twist.
