Being that it's the time of year where we get to watch every Twilight Zone episode ever in exsistance, and thanks to Aidan's great suggestion to me
last night. I have decided it is time for a brief list of my favo episodes of this classic show.
For you younger kids who have enevr seen this, you are truly missing out. It tells some of the best stories that have ever been told, and basically every single episode is a gem. It's just so ahead of it's time, artistic and really beautiful. It was especially hard to cut it down to 20.
I think you'll find a lot of my favorites aren't the most well known ones, but that's usually the case with me anyways. So without further a do, here is number 20.
20.
The Shelter
"What you are about to watch is a nightmare. It is not meant to be prophetic; it need not happen. It's the fervent and urgent prayer of all men of goodwill that it never shall happen. But in this place, in this moment, it does happen. This is the Twilight Zone."
I always love episodes that teach a lesson, and this one definitely does so. It takes place in a small town and is about a well liked doctor, who spends a lot of his time building a fallout shelter, in case one day something terrible to were happen. His neighbors rib him about it and treat it as a joke. However, when the government issues a warning that the U.S might be under nuclear attack, things chance. And every single family in the neighborhood want into this man's shelter which was only big enough to house him and his family. It turns everybody agains each other and ends in the nighbors busting down the door with a battering ram to get in, just in time to hear over the radio that, there was in fact no nuclear war, and everything was fine. But it just goes to show you, how people will act in a time of danger, and how friendship goes right out the window.
"No moral, no message, no prophetic tract: Just a simple statement of fact. For civilization to survive, the human race has to remain civilized. Tonight's very small exercise in logic, from the Twilight Zone."
