After they discontinued The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling came out with a show called "The Night Gallery"...

I remember watching them when I was a kid, and some of those episodes scared the crap out of me.

Indeed! My fav episode was called "The Painting" IIRC.

Seeing when it was in first run I may have caught some of them before they were in reruns.

"The Painting" - was that with Roddy McDowell?

Thats the one! Where the painting keeps changing throughout the episode. Really creepy!

Creepy ain't the word when you're 12 years old!

The two I remember best were

the one with William Shatner as a 'nervous flyer' convinced there was something out on the wing of the aircraft. There was of course but the aircrew thought he was just a bit squirrelly about flying. When they landed, one of the engines was a bit of a mess with claw and teeth marks and pieces of metal ripped away.

The other one is more vague, some cold-hearted tax-collector (I think) visited someone who owned a camera obscura up at the top of an old building, he looked through it and saw a recreation of the town in about the Middle Ages. Anyway, he delivered his ultimatum and left. When he got outside he found himself in the Middle Age town being surrounded by some rather unpleasant-looking characters. The guy upstairs just watched the whole thing through his camera obscura.

There was one where a little boy could physically change anything he wanted. This generally followed the form of what a little boy would change if he had the power to and one of the things he did was to completely remove the mouth from his sister's face. I distinctly remember wishing I could do that...

There were many times I wished the same....

Were these in the TZ series, or in the NightGallery series?

Now you've got me
pretty sure they were TZ up until you said that

diddyriddick · Jul 13, 2009

Shatner on a plane was definitely TZ. Not familiar w/ the other one.

I think the one you are thinking of with the little boy is this one Colin.

Yeah...the kid with the three-headed gopher and the bad cornfield. Psychotic little punk! Although he was an only-child, no sister. This kid took his whole town and made it disappear, or moved it off into another dimension or something. At least in the TV series he did. I haven't seen the movie yet.

That scared the heck out of me when I first saw it!

wheelsup_cavu · Jul 14, 2009

I saw a few shows where Roddy McDowell was evil.
He played it well.
Another actor who did evil well was Vincent Price.

That was the best part of the video, IMO.

Enter if you dare. muahahaha (Warning: This is a sound file so be careful with your speakers volume. )

Here are several episodes of the Twilight Zone at CBS classics.

I am not sure if they will work outside of the US.
Sorry in advance if they don't.

I've watched a couple of the NightGallery episodes, and so far "Lone Survivor" is probably my fav.
