Scifi's annual tradition celebrates its 10th anniversary tommorow. So sit down, tune in, and unlock that door with the key of imagination.

Scifi's annual tradition celebrates its 10th anniversary tommorow. So sit down, tune in, and unlock that door with the key of imagination.

COMMENTS GO HERE.Wonderful tradition; I hope Sci-Fi always keeps it up. Anytime you can wake up at 2:30 in the morning, go turn on the tube & catch a couple of classic T-Zone eps 'til you're sleepy enough to hit the sack again -- hey, that's for me. :)

[BonyT]

Ooh -- "Deaths-Head Revisited" is on right now. Good one.

[Tobias]

I caught 'The Good Life' (Bill Mumy as a child who terrorizes his town with supernatural powers) last night. I FINALLY got the spoof that the Simpsons did for that episode on one of the early 'Treehouse of Horror' eps.

"To Serve Man". The look on his face when he found out it was a cookbook is priceless.:p

[Agent S7]

The Good Life was incredible, and "Night of the Meek" is one of my personal favs. I also like the one where the former Nazi gets driven insane by spirits of those he killed, and the one where that guy frees Satan, and "Kick the Can" was alright, and MAN I HOPE THEY DO THIS EVERY YEAR! :D

I missed good chunks of the marathon due to work, but watched it whenever I could. I really wanted to catch the one with that dancing clown. Anyone know what that one is all about?

[chesterfield]

I thought I had seen all of them but I couldn't place the dancing clown either. I was sick for the entire weekend and was sure I would see it but they must have shown it while I was asleep. Anybody know?

[BonyT]

Well, I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one saying, "Hey, which ep is that clown in, for cryin' out loud?!?" :p

I still have no idea. He had kind of a Stephen-King-ish vibe going though, didn't he?

[stwasm]

Everytime I tune into the marathon -- which seems to air for every major holiday (not that I'm complaining) -- I either catch an episode I'd never seen before or see something new in one I had seen. This show used to freak me out when I was a kid, but now I love it. I may have to invest in that DVD collection they kept advertising. What a treat!

[shadowcat]

I love twilight zone

[Lord Dalek]

Dancing clown is in "Five Characters In Search of An Exit".

[BonyT]

Dancing clown is in "Five Characters In Search of An Exit".Wait a minute, that's the one where there's the clown, a ballerina, a general, etc., & they're all in a ... cup or jar or something, right? Now I remember it! Thanks, Lord Dalek!

[T.T.Raven4]

I love this every year. I try to watch as much as possible. I can't really point out a favorite because it's so hard to remember them all. My Library teacher showed us "Monsters are due at Maple Street" a couple years back, and that got me hooked.

My Library teacher showed us "Monsters are due at Maple Street" a couple years back, and that got me hooked.In 9th grade, our my English teacher showed the class the one where the Earth is hurteling toward the sun, only to have it be a dream (the Earth is actually hurteling away). We also watched the one, what was it? "To Serve Man?" Ha.
Then we had to write an alternate ending to the first one with the woman and her dream. My group had this silly idea that she was dreaming she was watching The Twilight Zone, and they had me write the episode she was watching. I made it about a woman who goes to a fortune teller and learns she will die within the month, so she shuts herself off from the world (we even filmed a scene where she's made a bed out of her bathtub, stocked up with canned goods and such). Anyway, the month ends, and she gets up all relieved, only to fall and break her neck stepping out of the tub. I plan to revise it as part of my story collection.

What's the episode called where a very young Dennis Hopper plays a Neo Nazi who's coached by the ghost of Hitler?

[Lord Dalek]

Alright. What?
Five people, an army major, a clown, a ballerina, a hobo, and a bagpipe player find themselves in a large cylinderical structure. The Major, although initially under the impression that they are in hell, plans to escape over the side of the cylinder. Eventually, the major escapes, only to reveal to audience that the structure is an orphanage collection barrel and all five characters are dolls.
