    I will never forget...
    This was my go-to list as a child back then: The Twilight Zone ==> The Outer Limits ==> One Step Beyond ==> Inner Sanctum. And oh, "Million Dollar Movie".

    Just flat out gripping series. Everyone in our house would gather around the TV when Inner Sanctum came on. No one would go to the bathroom.
