Although plenty of spooky movies and shows would do a twist where the main character turns out to be dead the whole time, none of them handled it quite as gracefully as "The Twilight Zone" did back in 1960. The season 1 episode follows Nan (Inger Stevens), a young woman driving alone across the country who finds herself being stalked by a strange, unsettling stranger. The guy teleports from place to place, defying all known laws of physics, and it doesn't seem like his intentions are good.
It's only at the very end, when Nan tries to call her mother, that we figure out what's going on: Nan actually died right before the start of the episode from the minor car accident we saw her brushing off. She was told in that first scene she was lucky she hadn't died in the incident; at the end when Nan hears about her mother...

Jennifer's Body director Karyn Kusama takes us through the 1948 film version of Lucille Fletcher's 1943 radio play, one of the most‚ successful and popular programs ever. It was reprised seven times through 1960, each time starring Agnes Moorehead in the tour-de-force lead as a bedridden woman who overhears a murder being plotted. After being "opened up" for the movie it was remade three more times for television.

Jokers, circus masters and demonic dolls. Which TV characters terrify you? Den Of Geek asked its writers that very question…
The subconscious is a terrible place; dark, mysterious and peopled by spectres from the past. As a bit of a laugh then, we sent our writers journeying into theirs and asked them to drag out any TV terrors they found lurking in the shadows.
Some television fears had been ensconced there since childhood, others were more recent tenants. Some were morally terrifying; human beings with icy hearts capable of atrocities, others were simply… atrocities.
Join us as we count down in order of terror from the sort-of-creepy to the downright terrifying, the 50 TV characters that, for whatever reason, give our writers chills. It’s by no means an exhaustive list, so feel free to fill in gaps by adding your own peculiar television nightmares below…

In the 1960s the theatre critic Laurence Kitchin identified a cultural phenomenon ranging from the "enclosure and terror" of Bacon's screaming cardinals to Marcel Marceau's mime piece The Cage, which he dubbed "compressionism". Among its antecedents are Poe's stories of premature burial and, cinematically, Rodrigo Cortés's thriller. Set entirely in a wooden box several feet underground in an Iraqi desert, it takes compressionism to an unsurpassable extreme. The box is occupied by Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), an American civilian truck driver in Iraq to earn a few bucks, who's been abducted by terrorists and held for ransom. He has a cigarette lighter, a small hip flask, a mobile phone and not much else, and in a couple of hours or less the box might be his coffin.

I'm not sure how many of you watched that rare interview we posted with Twilight Zone mastermind Rod Serling, but if you didn't watch it I just wanted to point out that in the interview Serling reveals what his favorite Twilight Zone episodes were. I thought this was pretty cool and though you might as well.
Here are his two favorite episodes:
The Invaders
...One was an original by Dick Matheson called 'The Invaders,' with Agnes Moorehead, which was in a sense pure science fiction, with a very O. Henryish twist.
I've always enjoyed watching this episode, and it's definitely at the top of my list. I just love the twist!
Time Enough at Last
...And the other was an adaptation of mine, a very free, loose adaption of a Lucille Fletcher -- I think it was Lucille Fletcher, I could be wrong -- a short story called 'Time Enough at Last,...

The first of these two episodes is among the most strongly moral and critical episodes of the series; piercing and biting words from the heart of its creator. The second a less moralistic tale but no less skillfully compiled, personifying that which every person fears and some may not even know has happened.
Season 1, Episode 15 – I Shot An Arrow Into The Air
Originally aired on January 15, 1960
Written by: Rod Serling (story by Madelon Champion)
Directed by: Stuart Rosenberg
Practical joke perpetrated by Mother Nature and a combination of improbable events. Practical joke wearing the trappings of nightmare, of terror, of desperation. Small human drama played out in a desert ninety-seven miles from Reno, Nevada, U.S.A – continent of North America, the Earth, and of course the Twilight Zone.
“… it fell to earth, I know not where.” Or so goes the poem from which the title of the episode derived its name.

Since its inception in 2006, Severin Films, the film and DVD company that is responsible for releasing special editions of many well-known films such as Roman Polanski’s What?, Gwendolin with Tawny Kitaen, Patrice Leconte’s The Hairdresser’s Husband and The Perfume Of Yvonne, Richard Stanley’s Hardware, and Enzo Castellari’s Inglorious Bastards to name a few, now adds Lucio Fulci’s directorial swan song to its roster. Fulci, who passed away in 1996, made Door into Silence (Le Porte del Silenzio) in 1991 (not to be confused with Dario Argento’s Door into Darkness, a series of four, one-hour episodes for Italian television in 1973). It stars - of all people - John Savage of The Deer Hunter and Do the Right Thing as a man who buries his father and takes a strange trip through Louisiana behind a hearse in a modern day variation of Steven Spielberg’s Duel,...
