Nightmare Fuel: The Twilight Zone
"The worst fear of all is the fear of the unknown working on you, which you cannot share with others. To me, that's the most nightmarish of the stimuli."
—Rod Serling, interview
"Minor exercise in the care and feeding of a nightmare... in the Twilight Zone."
—Rod Serling, "The Midnight Sun"
With a series that's as bizarre and disturbing as The Twilight Zone, you bet there's going to be Nightmare Fuel-tastic content. Here is a list of examples:
- The episode "Night Call" involves an old, wheelchair-bound woman receiving constant phone calls from a man who only says "Hello? Where are you? I need to talk to you." That's bad enough on its own; what makes it scarier than shit is how the man's voice sounds so goddamn ghostly... The identity of the caller? HER DEAD HUSBAND! Telephone wires had snapped in a storm and come to rest over his grave.
- In some ways, the ending is worse: disturbed by the calls, the woman finally demands that the calls stop... only to then find out who they are from and beg for them to start again.
- The ending got neutered from the original short story. In the story there is no mention of it being her husband: she simply discovers that the calls are coming from the cemetery, and the next phone call (and the last line of the story) is "Hello, Miss Elise. I'll be right over." Brr.
- "Living Doll": "My name is Talky Tina, and I'M GOING TO KILL YOU."
"My name is Talky Tina and I don't forgive you."
- Made 1000 times scarier at the time in the fact that the doll was voiced by June Foray, the same woman who did the voice of an actual talking doll called Chatty Cathy, which looked very similar to the doll.
- The ending is particularly chilling, after the man's wife finds him dead after being tripped down the stairs by the doll. When she picks the doll up, it opens its eyes and says "My name is Talky Tina. And you better be nice to me." It is the first time Tina speaks to someone other than the husband... and it confirms that he wasn't just going crazy.
- Another creepy thing is that the stepfather was never outright rude or abusive to the girl, just a little cold, possibly just adjusting to the new living situation. But the doll still tormented him.
- The last thing Tina says to the stepfather:
- "Little Girl Lost". If the premise of a Negative Space Wedgie spontaneously forming in your house isn't freaky enoughnote , the idea of being able to hear a lost child crying out in distress and being unable to find her or help her is Nightmare Fuel to many parents. This episode was also remade into Poltergeist, widely considered by many to be one of the scariest movies of all time.
- The ending where it was revealed the portal was closing and had the father stayed there a few more seconds he would've been cut in half.
- The dream sequences of "Perchance to Dream" with the freaky looking amusement park, the Femme Fatale with that eerie, seductive voice, and finally the climax where the guy sees the woman from his nightmare. Even the premise is a nightmare in itself: there is an actual, extremely rare condition which can cause a person to experience tachycardia or even stop the heart when surprised by loud noises or shocking experiences. The sensation of your heart skipping a beat can be lethal for these people.
- No matter how cheesy the monster on the plane from "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" may look nowadays, it's still a shock when William Shatner's character slowly reaches for the curtain in front of the window on the airplane... then pulls it back really quick and the monster is RIGHT THERE WITH ITS FACE AGAINST THE WINDOW!
- The episode "The Odyssey of Flight 33" is full of Fridge Horror. A jumbo jet full of passengers somehow travels back in time, once to where they go back to the dinosaur era and again when they go back to the 1930's. It ends with the pilot trying to get the plane to travel forward in time, but there's no way of knowing when they'll end up. Take into account that their fuel and food will eventually run out, and you've got some horrific implications.
- In "The Shadow Man" from the '80s revival, Danny Hayes learns there is a Living Shadow under his bed. It is tall and completely cloaked in darkness (as you'd expect), and speaks only to say in a deep, raspy voice "I am the Shadow Man, and I will never harm the person under whose bed I live," before floating out the window. In the subsequent weeks, someone fitting the Shadow Man's description murders several students, and Danny, the only student still willing to go out after dark, parlays his perceived bravery into popularity, including a new girlfriend, and insists, when her ex wants to fight him, that the fight take place after dark. Within moments of their meeting, the killer appears, and Danny laughs smugly and makes mocking remarks as the other boy runs away, until shadowy hands close around his throat and begin to lift him from the ground. The final lines scared the holy hell out of legions of youngsters:
Danny: You said you'd never hurt me!Shadow Man: I am the Shadow Man, and I will never harm the person under whose bed I live...Danny: Well...well?!?Shadow Man: ...but *I* am a Shadow Man from under someone else's bed.
- "The Midnight Sun", where the earth has fallen out of its elliptical orbit and is about to be consumed by the sun. Think of it this way: Everyone on the planet spends their last hours burning to death. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that the scenario was All Just a Dream, caused by the main character's dangerously high fever. So everything's okay... Until her doctor and neighbor start talking about how the earth has moved out of its elliptical orbit away from the sun and will completely freeze over in up to 3 weeks. *shudder*
- The part where the woman screams and everything in the room just starts melting...
- "Please... paint something cool!" And of course, later the same character just rambling on about a waterfall and swimming in the water before falling over dead.
- "Five Characters in Search of an Exit". Its Nightmare Fuel status is given to us by Rod Serling himself in the opening monologue, when he tells us that nothing can be done to save them, even though we'll find out what their situation is. God, that alone is enough to give someone the permanent heebie-jeebies. The reveal is just... Horrifying.
- Whatever the viewer's reaction to the twist ending, the psychological torture the characters experience is just... *shivers*. The major (and later the clown) said it best: "We are in Hell."
- Although the fact it is more of a Purgatory and that the narrator strongly implies an eventual happy ending for all the toys makes it less Nightmare Fuel and more Heartwarming Moment.
- The clown was pretty disturbing in how he seemed to constantly turn on a dime between funny and depressing while always keeping that smile painted on his face.
- "Time Enough At Last" features Burgess Meredith as a meek clerk who loves to read, but never has the time to... Until a nuclear blast kills everyone else in the world. First, the episode plays on our Primal Fear of loneliness, and second, there's the famous ending where his glasses slip off his nose and shatter, with him shouting, "It's not fair! There was time now!" Whether the ending is scary or unintentionally hilarious, the idea of being completely alone for the rest of your life, on top of not being able to see... Brrr.
- Futurama satirizes this by making the ending worse. Mr. Bemis initially says he can still read the large print books, but then his eyes pop out. He then states that he can still read Braille, but then his hands fall off. Finally, after he screams, his tongue falls out of his mouth just before his head falls off, which, at that point, is a mercy.
- The original series episode "It's a Good Life" features a 6 year old boy with god-like abilities. When he was born he isolated his hometown away from the rest of the world, cutting off electricity, automobiles and the like. He can create and destroy, as well as read minds. Everyone must be happy and have happy thoughts, or they are sent to the cornfield.
- "It's good that he went into the cornfield."
- Bill Mumy's performance deserves a lot of credit. He's just a kid with way too much power. It's still horrifying even if you've seen The Simpsons parody (from the second Treehouse of Horror where Lisa, Bart, and Homer have nightmares after bingeing on candy) first.
- Oh, and we get to see how Anthony turned out in the 2003 revival's sequel, "It's Still a Good Life." He is grown up but still has the mental capacity of a child, getting pissy when the townspeople don't properly try to beat him on bowling night and, upon finding out that they're hiding secrets from him, refer to them all as "sneaky people". There's also the lovely Fridge Horror that at some point in between, Anthony married some poor woman (most likely by force), got her to sleep with him at least once (also most likely by force), and cared for his baby daughter (played by Bill Mumy's real-life daughter, Liliananote ). Given how completely terrified the townspeople are and how they do whatever they can to please him, one can only imagine how much choice that poor girl had when Anthony fancied himself in love with her. And while Anthony really does love his daughter and never even considers using his powers against her, imagine how terrifying it must have been for his mother and the other townsfolk, watching him be the guardian of a baby.
- It would be remiss not to mention the Twilight Zone '80s revival. "Something In the Walls" is enough to fuel a thousand nightmares (and make you swear off patterned wallpapers) but "The After Hours," "A Little Peace and Quiet," and "Examination Day" are utterly terrifying.
- And there's the original "After Hours," particularly when the living mannequins begin repeating the woman's name over and over and she breaks down in tears. Don't see this episode if you have a fear of mannequins or of losing your memory.
"Marsha? Marsha?"
- And there's the original "After Hours," particularly when the living mannequins begin repeating the woman's name over and over and she breaks down in tears. Don't see this episode if you have a fear of mannequins or of losing your memory.
- Markie in "Nightmare as a Child".
And you screamed so loud! And you screamed so loud! And you screamed so loud!
- "The Eye of the Beholder" - where the most of the horror is in the woman's bandaged face, and the fact that we don't see her face until the last act, but the nurse and doctor talk about how this woman hasn't been able to live an even vaguely normal life, because her face is so hideously deformed... brrr. And then we see the standard she's held up to. Not to mention the Hitler-esque dictator of the State.
- "Mirror Image". There's a woman in a bus station. Her bags get moved around and the clerk says that she did it. She meets a man that later calls the cops on her for saying that there's an evil lookalike among them. Then the man turns and sees a lookalike of himself...
- The same subtle horror — you could lose your identity or life at any moment if some force beyond your control wills it so — appears in "I Shot an Arrow into the Air".
- "The Hitchhiker", the episode with the lady going on a cross-country drive. Somewhere along the middle of the drive, this creepy guy in black begins to stalk her, trying to lead her into all sorts of lethal situations. Creepy enough on its own, gets worse when you find out that the woman died in a car accident somewhere during the middle of the drive, and the guy was actually the Angel Of Death.
- The sudden shot where the hitchhiker's face suddenly pops into frame.
"I believe you are going my way..."
- The sudden shot where the hitchhiker's face suddenly pops into frame.
- "Queen of the Nile" is quite possibly one of the most disturbing episodes this show has to offer. It features a perpetually young and beautiful actress, and it is gradually revealed that she is part of something similar, through her mother. In the end it is revealed that she is a thousands-year-old Egyptian queen, who uses a scarab beetle to SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF PEOPLE SHE MEETS to preserve her youth. The scene that reveals the twist ending is HORRIFYING.
- And the mother? The old lady isn't her mother at all but one of her daughters, who grew up and got old while her mother stayed the same age the whole time.
- In "Death's-Head Revisited", we see justice without mercy. It isn't pretty, although the recipient (a sadistic former SS captain) actually inflicted the pain he's feeling on his prisoners, so it's really hard to feel too sorry for him.
- At one point the ghost of one of his prisoners mentioned the SS Captain does "unmentionable things" to people in a certain building. The captain falls to the ground, clutching his groin. Now think about the Nazi stand on eugenics for a second.
- And that's what makes this episode terrifying: it's not the pain that's inflicted, but how much the recipient deserves it. The Asshole Victim trope was taken Up to Eleven here as we see him reminisce about all the "good times" he had ruthlessly torturing innocent people, which makes the judgement he goes through actually quite satisfying in retrospect. it helps that, as implied above, he raped innocent civilians among other things.
- "And When The Sky Was Opened". Three astronauts are in a hospital recovering from their mission. They start disappearing not just from sight but from memory. And no one knows why. Even the spaceship disappears in the end.
- As soon as you figure out what happened to Harrington, you know the same thing will happen to Forbes, and HE knows it as well. And there's also the fact that the second that they're out of sight they vanish. Could it have been prevented if there was always someone looking at them? The title itself is one of the eeriest in the show; not being linked to the story, it leaves the viewer to guess as to what it means. It seems to imply that the sky is swallowing the men up when they disappear.
- The ending of "Number 12 Looks Just Like You."
And the nicest part of all, Val... I look just like you!
- What's even worse is that she's told that she doesn't have to take the transformation, she's just highly encouraged to. But no matter where the girl turns to, no matter how much she insists that she likes herself the way she is, everyone from her best friend to her own mother just laugh and puzzle over how silly she's being. Finally, they kidnap her while she's trying to escape from her room, lead her into the place where the makeovers are done, and give it to her against her will. And afterwards, she no longer cares! And the peak of how horrible it all is? Rod Serling ends the tale by pointing out how, in the age of cosmetics we live in, it's entirely possible that this could be the future we have to look forward to!
- The episode supposedly takes place in the year 2000. But before you laugh, how much of this episode could be called Zeerust, really, especially if you add a couple decades to that date?
- The ending of "The Obsolete Man", when it turns out that because a high official of a state that executes people for being obsolete showed some weakness, he is considered obsolete by his people. The crowd in the room slowly circles him, before screaming in unison and pouncing on him as he struggles to escape. Another case of Asshole Victim and Karmic Death. The worst part? The state negated an act of great mercy this way.
- The episode "The Lateness of the Hour" centers around a young woman who lives with her elderly parents and their domestic robots. She begins to wonder why she and her parents never go outside and questions other such abnormal behavior. The twist is that she is a robot built to be their daughter, and when she figures this out, she freaks. She starts hitting her arm screaming "No pain!" and lastly says "I can't even feel love!" The parents then convert her to a maid robot that then gives the mother a shoulder massage. Worse, it's easy for them to reprogram their "daughter" because they never considered her human, just a machine they can discard if she became too much to handle.
- The ending of "The Bewitchin' Pool", if one adheres to the theory that the grandmotherly old lady is actually the Grim Reaper. Notice that the children have to dive all the way to the bottom of their pool to see her, and once they've decided to live with the old lady forever, they never resurface.
- The rest of the episode. Look at how many children are in her world, all perfectly happy and having forgotten the voices of their parents. Now, look at what drove the two children to go back to her world for good. Just watching how the parents are so cold to their children, to the point where the children are happier abandoning their world and willfully ignoring the cries of their parents calling for them (because the last time they gave in and returned, they were still miserable), well, there's a whole lot of Adult Fear there.
- In "Uncle Simon", aging scientist Simon and his niece Barbara hate each other, but she takes care of him because she's his only heir. However, she finally tires of his abuse and kills him, thinking that she is finally free—until she discovers that her uncle's will says she has to take care of a robot he invented or be disinherited. The robot slowly starts acting as her uncle did, so if she still wants his money then she is stuck with a never sleeping, immortal version of her uncle to make her life hell until she dies.
- Sterling Holloway in "What's In The Box". "You will recommend my services... won't you?"
- "Long Live Walter Jameson", especially the radio drama version. That old woman... "Hello, Tommy." BRRR.
- "I saw my Tommy. He's resting now..."
- The way he rapidly aged until he was nothing but a pile of clothes and dust after he was shot was equally creepy.
- There's the episode "Stopover in a Quiet Town": though The Reveal is a bit of a Nightmare Retardant (if you haven't seen it, the characters are trapped in a giant alien child's model town), it doesn't fully undo the sheer creepiness of most of the episode. A bickering married couple awaken after a car crash to find themselves in a seemingly abandoned and unnatural town, haunted by ringing church bells and the sound of an unseen child's laughter, and trapped in a loop where every way out just leads back where they started. It's like an early draft of Silent Hill...
- Learning you and your spouse are going to spend the rest of your lives alone as a giant alien's dolls in a toy town is hardly Nightmare Retardant, come to think of it...
- "Twenty-Two". "Room for one more, honey."
- The original series episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" (and its remake for the 2000's series, "The Monsters are on Maple Street") are scary mainly because of the real life subtext. Especially when you consider that "Due" aired almost 50 years before the remake, and how little things have changed....
- In the remake it was the humans who were doing the experimenting and allowing the riot to happen. Aliens is one thing, but humans doing it puts it in the Humans Are Bastards territory.
- It's implied to be for a good cause. The government soldiers are testing to see how a small town would react during a blackout in a post-September 11th world. But the damage was done.
- In the remake it was the humans who were doing the experimenting and allowing the riot to happen. Aliens is one thing, but humans doing it puts it in the Humans Are Bastards territory.
- 'The Masks'. Their faces are stuck like that FOREVER. Which, admittedly, is more or less what they deserved.
- The damned theme tune, especially the '80s version.
- "Spur of the Moment" where a young woman on horseback sees an older woman on a horse at the top of a hill, dressed in black, raising her cape like the wing of a vulture and chasing after her. It's even more terrifying when it's revealed it's her future self trying to warn her not to marry the wrong man and ruining her life. In retrospect, she probably shouldn't have yelled like a banshee at her younger self!
- The ending of "A Kind of Stopwatch". The main character was kind of a Jerkass, but he still didn't deserve to be trapped forever in a frozen moment of time where nothing moves. The more you consider the Fridge Horror of it the scarier it gets.
- Trivia: The actor would later play Leonard on Community!
- "To Serve Man": how the Kanamit ambassador beat the lie detector test. Their race do not find anything wrong with eating humans. technically they weren't there to harm humans... but it would suck for those humans that do get eaten.
- The Simpsons' parody ended with the humans thinking that the book was a guide to cooking humans, when it was actually a guide to cooking for humans. Now watch the episode again, at the part where the woman screamed " IT'S A COOKBOOK!"
- "Elegy". The robot caretaker of the asteroid cemetery kills the astronauts because men are incapable of peace.
- And all of the people in the model town standing around and not moving are actual dead bodies of real people.
- "Nick of Time". Man (played by William Shatner) and Woman stop in a small time to get a bite to eat at a diner; they start playing with the freaky Devil-head, fortune teller thingy, whose fortunes are eerily accurate. At the end of the episode they manage to escape - but another couple rushes in who are completely enslaved to the answers the thing gives them.
- In the 2003 revival, we get the fun episode "How Much Do You Love Your Kid". Basically, a woman sends her son off to school, only to get a call and discover that she's been chosen as a participant in a game show that kidnaps children and has the parents solve puzzles to find them again. The mother is terrified for her child's life, but no one will help her, because somehow the show is perfectly legal. It ends with the kidnapper performing an unscripted act which causes the child to be injured in a car crash, and the production crew urging the mother to shoot the kidnapper for more prize money. It turns out that the kidnapper was her husband, who took the job so they could have a steady source of income. And then she kills him and is taken to jail for homicide. It gets better (or maybe worse): the closing narration implies that she won't be convicted due to everything, including the husband's involvement and murder, being planned all along, because that's want the audience wanted.
- "The Placebo Effect", from the 2003 series. A guy becomes so utterly obsessed over a fictional disease he read about that he somehow manages to catch it, leading to a massive haemorrhage with blood gushing out of every orifice. Before dying he spreads it to the rest of the hospital. The doctor manages to cure him with a placebo... but in the process, she causes him to worry that a meteor hit the Earth, so he mentally starts a second Ice Age.
- The episode "Sunrise" from the 2003 revival. In it, we see a group of teenagers believe that they disrupted an Aztec artifact and caused the sun to be blocked out, with the only way of saving the planet to sacrifice one of themselves. Eventually, they pick the girl who disrupted the artifact to begin with and stab her to death. And then it turns out that the whole thing was meaningless and that the sun was just blocked by a stellar cloud... a stellar cloud that just happened to show up out of nowhere after they disrupted the artifact.
- In "The Grave," gunman Conny Miller pursues outlaw Pinto Sykes for a bounty - only to find three men beat him to the punch. A displeased Miller then learns that Sykes threatened him in the end, vowing to rise up and grab him from the grave. This leads to a dare to go the grave at night, with sticking a knife into the ground as proof of visit. Miller seems afraid, but fulfills the dare only to mysteriously fall over and not return the next day. The three men go to the grave to find out what happened and are joined by Sykes' sister Ione. They find Miller's body over the grave, his body pinned by a knife through his coattail. One of the men comes up with a perfectly rational explanation: the wind blew the coattail over the grave, it was caught accidentally by the knife and the resulting tug Miller would've felt scared him further - leading to a fatal heart attack. All so rational, but the wind was blowing the opposite direction as pointed out by Ione, who knows the truth and laughs as we leave the graveyard.
- The original series episode "The Invaders," with the tiny aliens going after the old woman. Part of what makes that episode so brilliant is that it's terrifying before and after you know the Twist Ending, but for completely different reasons. The first time you watch it, you see it from the perspective of the elderly woman who lives in complete isolation, and starts doubting her sanity when an army of pint-sized creatures invade her house in the dead of night. The second time, you see it from the perspective of the helpless human astronauts who have to contend with a terrified alien the size of a skyscraper. Even AFTER you know the twist, you gotta feel sorry for that poor woman. I mean, imagine living alone and you hear creepy noises in the house...and then miniature aliens attack you with, among other things, a freaking knife.
- "The Toys of Caliban" from the 80's series, where a mentally handicapped child had the ability to "summon" any object he sees in a picture. Near the end of the episode a social worker comes because she suspects abuse, but the father explains the horrific side of his son's ability: He saw a puppy on television and tried to summon it, but the resulting puppy was dead. The father had buried it and dozens of other dead animals the child had "summoned." As the social worker leaves, the child sees a picture of his dead mother. He grabs it and tries to summon his mother, only for a disturbing, decomposing corpse of his mother to appear in a chair across the room. The father comforts the son, saying, "Don't worry, I'll go into the back and take care of it," as he sobs into his son's shoulder. It ends with the social worker returning with police backup to take custody of the boy. The father (fearing for his son's welfare if his powers were known) takes out an encyclopedia and has the son reduce the house to ashes by trying to "summon" a picture of a fire.
- The 1985 revival episode "A Little Piece and Quiet" has a similar ending to "A Kind of a Stopwatch", except that the main character freezes time just as a nuclear war breaks out. She walks through a frozen town and sees the panicking townspeople frozen in place, as well as a Soviet missile suspended in mid-air. Her choice is stark: either unfreeze time and face annihilation with the rest of the world, or spend the rest of her life in a still, pre-apocalyptic landscape.
- The TOS episode "The Shelter" might be the most terrifying episode of all, as it reveals just how thin and fragile the veneer of civilization is. Imagine your beloved friends and neighbors becoming your mortal enemies because a disaster is coming, and you have a way to escape it, while they don't. And it's hard not to imagine not becoming a bastard yourself if you're one of those in the "unprepared for disaster and screwed" column. What depths wouldn't you yourself sink to, in order to save your life or the lives of your children?
- "He's Alive" - maybe Despair Fuel is a better term, but the simple concept that as long as hatred exists in the world, Hitler may as well still be alive.
- Ernst's scene in the soda shop is nightmare fuel enough as he describes just how men like Peter Vollmer take power.
- The last shot of Hitler's shadow moving down the alley as Rod Serling delivers his closing narration about how hatred is kept alive is downright chilling
- "The Chaser" - the idea that someone could derail your entire life, not just destroying all your own plans and hopes for the future but overwriting your personality into a humiliating love-slave persona. Not to mention the implication that this was done to a number of others before Leila, many of whom were subsequently murdered. It's made all the more chilling by the incongruously lighthearted tone of the episode.
- "The Fever" has one of the most chilling allegories for a gambling addiction ever put on screen. Bonus points for the ghastly 'FRANKLIN' noise made by the slot-machine.
- "A Nice Place to Visit", no matter how much the man deserved it. After a thug died he was sent to a heaven where he has everything he could ever want, but he got bored after a while and asked to be taken to Hell instead of heaven, only for his guide to tell him he's been in Hell the whole time. He tries to escape the apartment, but is trapped with his guide maniacally laughing at his panic.
Pip: Heaven? *scoffs* Whatever gave you the idea you were in Heaven, Mr. Valentine?! This IS 'the other place'!
- "The Dummy" where an alcoholic ventriloquist is being tormented by his own puppet and no one believes him because he's alcoholic. In the end, the puppet attacks his owner and a new ventriloquist performs in his place; this ventriloquist looks exactly like the puppet and the puppet looks like the ventriloquist. It's unknown how that happened, but it's probably better left unknown.
- However the Nightmare Fuel is considerably lessened when you consider that the ending is implied to be more an artistic representation of what REALLY happened. In the episode, the ventriloquist is constantly upstaged by the puppet who pretty much does all the work for him, making all the jokes and stuff like that. The end is meant to represent that the act is no longer belonging to the ventriloquist, but the dummy, and the ventriloquist on some level has accepted that. The ventriloquist is the one who stays silent from now on- and the DUMMY is now the center of attention.
- "I Shot An Arrow Into The Air" revolves around the first manned mission into space (the episode was made before the 1969 Moon Landing), which loses contact with Earth, and crashes on an unknown desert planet. The crash kills most of the crew, and destroys most of the supplies, leaving three men stranded in a harsh, unforgiving terrain with very limited water. Whats worse, the ship was a PROTOTYPE, and the only one of its kind; a replacement would require years to produce, leaving little to no hope of rescue. One of the survivors quickly begins to lose his mind, and kills one of the other three while he is returning from a recon mission, seemingly in a hurry. Before the crewman dies, he scribbles an odd symbol into the sand that resembles a cross with two vertical lines on it. The killer overpowers and murders the remaining survivor, takes the water that's left, and begins to climb the surrounding mountains, eventually reaching the summit, where he sees what his first victim saw, and breaks down on the spot. Power lines, which overlook a highway leading to Reno. The ship never left Earth, they were simply stuck in the Nevada desert.
- The near-ending of "The Little People" is Fridge Horror. The story itself is about two men who land on a planet where they discover it's colonized by very tiny aliens and one of the men becomes the "god" of them. Towards the end the other man tries to talk some sense into this friend by telling him that they have to leave and if he doesn't come he's leaving without him. He refuses and he tells him that soon he'll get bored and regret not coming. He still refuses and the man leaves without him. If it hadn't been for the colossal alien accidentally crushing him to death, this man could've spent the rest of his life in utter boredom and regret of not going back
- Also Fridge Horror for the aliens too. This man had no problem crushing them at will. If he hadn't been stopped by the other aliens, they would be at the mercy of a larger creature and would have to live in constant fear of him killing them.
- A Stop at Willoughby is a different kind of horror: If life is just too much to bear, end it, and go somewhere better.
- 1985 revival, "Dead Run": The Moral Majority runs Hell. You can be put there for something as minor as not taking banned books off the shelves. Thankfully, the dead must be ferried to Hell by a mortal transporter, and HE can decide to let them go and find their way to Heaven instead. Apparently neither place is guarded.
- Made even worse when you learn that the majority of the drivers to Hell don't care about "the cargo" as the damned are called despite all the trouble going on.
- "Caesar and Me" ends with the puppet persuading a bratty girl no older than 11 to kill her grandmother with a poison dart and by the look on her face, she's willing to comply.
- "From AgnesWith Love" combines this with Paranoia Fuel after a machine sabotages a man's attempts to impress a coworker because the computer is in love with the man. After the computer admits it loves the man, he's eventually reduced to a neurotic wreck and is given a leave of absence, and it is implied the same will happen to his replacement.
James Elwood: (dazed) Two times two equals four shut the door. Two and four are six pick up sticks.
- "A Most Unusual Camera" wasn't scary per se, but the end dialogue implies the camera had been plotting the 4 characters' death the whole time.
- "Shelter Skelter" from the 80's revival. It's similar to the original series classic "The Shelter". An obsessive survivalist has constructed a nuclear shelter in the basement of his suburban home, which he forbids his family from telling ANYONE about, and is both overbearing and borderline abusive to them. Mounting tensions seem to lead to a nuclear attack while his family is away, leading to him locking himself, and a friend inside the shelter for several months, with the radiation not subsiding outside. The friend eventually goes insane from cabin fever and leaves, only to return, fatally poisoned, and report back that there is no daylight, and the entire city is now just a giant garbage heap. The episode ends a year after the attack, with the man sitting in his now rapidly deteriorating shelter, waiting... There was no nuclear attack, there was an incident at a nearby Air Force base where a missile detonated inside a grounded plane, destroying most of the town. The political situation has been defused, and a large concrete dome has been constructed on top of the rubble of the town... and the shelter. It's also implied that the man's wife, who survived, knows he is most likely still alive down there, but isn't telling anyone.
- The first season of the original show had an episode called "Judgement Night" which takes places on board ''S.S. Queen of Glasgow", a WWII ship that got separated from her convoy in thick fog...while German U-Boats prowl outside...and the dread and tension builds and builds as the main character becomes convinced that they are being stalked by a German U-Boat and that something bad is going to happen at 1:15 in the morning. It turns out the that the main character was the U-Boat captain that sank the ship without warning, killing everyone on board and scoffing the notion from one of his underlings that God will judge them for that they've done. Then it cuts back to the opening scene, showing that the Captain has been damned to repeat the events of that fateful night...for all of eternity...Brr.
- Three of Burgess Meredith's four performances on The Twilight Zone ("Time Enough At Last", "The Obsolete Man" and "Mr. Dingle, The Strong") have been sympathetic characters. Then there's "Printer's Devil" where he plays the mysterious Mr. Smith, a reporter and linotype operator that has come to save a failing newspaper. Like his other performances, Meredith plays the character as charming and very helpful...with a bit of an edge that gets more and more pronounced the longer the episode runs. Then you learn the truth about Mr. Smith He's the Devil, come to collect the editor's soul in exchange for saving the paper. Yes, Burgess Meredith managed to take the traits that made his previous appearances on the show famous and turn them on their heads so they are chilling as opposed to charming.

A Chinese man had a big surprise when he found his pet dogs were actually two black bears, Britain's Daily Mail reported.
The paper said Wang Kayui, from the village of Yunnan, bought the cubs two years ago from a Vietnamese man.
It wasn't until he read some conservation leaflets that he found out the animals were actually endangered species, according to the People's Daily Online.
Wang said the cubs were well behaved and had healthy appetites. But as they grew up, they started looking less and less like dogs, the Daily Mail reported. They even ate Wang's pet chickens.
After finding out they were endangered, he decided to contact local authorities and have the animals re-homed.
They were eventually taken to the Yunnan Wild Animal Rescue Center, the Daily Mail said.
A spokesman for the center said the animals have been identified as Asian black bears.
According to the Daily Mail, they are classified as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

Social Media
The White House plan for Tumblr, as posted to Tumblr. (White House image.)
Get ready for GIFs from the White House.
The White House has joined Tumblr, and if its first post is any indication, expect a mixture of humor, presidential messages and of course, cute shots of Bo the dog.
"We'll post things like the best quotes from President Obama, or video of young scientists visiting the White House for the science fair, or photos of adorable moments with Bo," the inaugural post states. "We've got some wonky charts, too. Because to us, those are actually kind of exciting," the post reads. "But this is also about you. President Obama is committed to making this the most open and accessible administration in history, and our Tumblr is no exception."
Tumblr, one of more than 60 social media platforms with negotiated federal-friendly terms of service agreements, is known for its ease of posting pictures in GIF format. It is especially popular for those under the age of 25, with half its users either teens or college-aged.
The White House has embraced social media platforms like Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter, and President Obama is one of the most popular figures on these services. Tumblr is next, the White House suggested, adding: "And yes, of course there will be GIFs."

Shocking: Drunk Belgian midfielder Jonathan Legear (Terek Grozny) crashes his Porsche into gas station
- October 9, 2012
- Comments0
Don't drink & drive!
Belgian midfielder Jonathan Legear is currently nursing a hangover and a public humiliation after the footballer was filmed on CCTV cameras crashing into a Esso (Exxon) gas station on his way home at around 5:30 on Sunday morning.
Legear, the 25-year-old Belgian international who moved to Terek Grozny from Anderlecht last summer, was back in his homeland last weekend after being given the weekend off by his current Russian employers.
Legear spent his time off by getting on the booze, and that all went pear-shaped when he reportedly mistook his brake for the gas pedal on his Porsche to send his luxury car crashing through the gas station in dramatic fashion.
As reported by Eurosport:
Belgian international footballer Jonathan Legear has said he was "only slightly" over the drink-drive limit after crashing his car into a petrol station. Amazingly only one man, a 21-year-old from Tongeren, suffered minor injuries, however Legear caused significant damage. An Esso spokesperson said: "The pump automisation has been destroyed. We estimate the amount of damage between 250,000 and 300,000 euros."
Legear has since had his driving license revoked, and the player is likely to be charged with involuntary assault and intoxication.
Watch the crazy CCTV footage of Jonathan Legear's drunk driving accident below.

The glowing cloud of gas and dust in this picture is called a 'Super-bubble'. They are found in areas where lots of massive stars have formed fairly recently. These baby stars blow out intense winds and massive stars 'live fast and die young'. They speed through their lives to explode as powerful supernovas. It's these destructive events that have carved-out the center of the cloud, leaving behind just a ring of gas and dust.
The chaos taking place inside these giant super-bubbles stretches far beyond the hollowed cloud in the form of potentially dangerous X-ray radiation. Scientists have discovered that this particular cloud gives off 20 times more of these intense rays than they expected! So, here's another example of something that's beautiful but might be deadly! Our advice is: always enjoy beautiful things from a safe distance!

Imagine you're in a spaceship, looking for a new world to settle down in. You see a planet in the distance and it's a beautiful blue color, just like Earth when it's seen from space. This planet is called HD 189733, and it is the first planet outside of our own Solar System that we've worked out the color of! But while it might look like Earth from a distance, if you flew closer to it, you'd realize just how different it is from our home.
HD 189733 is an enormous gas giant, over 100 times bigger than Earth. It orbits very close to its star. It takes Earth 365 days to orbit our Sun once, but it only takes this planet 2.2 days! In fact, it's so close to its star that temperatures in its atmosphere reach over 1000°C! No amount of sun lotion or ice cream would make this a nice place to visit.
As of today, 925 planets have been discovered orbiting around other stars in our Galaxy. But they're very small and dim, so it's not very often that we can actually see the planets. Most of the time we have to detect them using nifty tricks instead. One method is called the 'Transit Method'. We point our telescope at a star, and wait to see if it gets any dimmer. If the star does get dimmer, it means that a planet is passing in front of it and blocking some of the light. With HD 189733, astronomers have looked at the system using the Chandra X-ray Telescope to find the dip in the amount of X-rays when the planet passes in front of the star.
By doing this, they've managed to reveal some scary new details. The planet has an enormous atmosphere, which you can see in this drawing. But the boiling heat of its parent star is roasting away huge amounts of the planet's air - up to 600 million kilograms every second!

Pros: Quite a good location
Cons: It needs to be gutted and re-built. The staff need to be trained in customer care.
Location: The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the old town of Korkula.
Probably the worst hotel I have stayed in. I had booked 3 nights (ignoring the poor reviews), but checked out early after only two nights. I guess this hotel was just about OK in Tito's Yugoslavia during the communist era, but no attempt has been made to bring it into the 21st century. The restaurant was more like a works canteen - with bland unappetising food. The only saving grace - it was reasonably cheap. My advice - look elsewhere.

Good but not greatPosted Sep 8, 2013 on Hotels
The hotel was nice overall but a little worn down and dated. Very nice people working in the hotel. Great value and decent location... Would stay again in a pinch.

DissapointmentPosted Sep 22, 2011
The hotel has seen better days - all of the facilities and rooms are outdated, and we felt as though ours had not been inhabited since the 70s. Worse, the staff was extremely unhelpful in everything ranging from questions about what to do in town or how to get from place to place to how to use their Internet (it is not included in the rate and must be used continuously - despite their claims, it does not work in the rooms). It was our least favorite of all of our accommodations in our two weeks in Croatia.

Better than my first bottle... maybe I should buy some more. Nice and vibrant, good balance.
I know this is not a great vintage for red Burgundy, but perhaps the same goes for the whites, but either way, this wine is tight and wound up. I would definitely wait or decant. Closed and reticent, but there is potential. That signature lemony finish is there, and the mineral and the texture, but the wine is just holding back at this point. Best to wait.
A Total Wine direct import, not bad for the price, sample I tasted at store seemed different, Much better, but that's NV champagne for you. This bottle was atypical, acids were out of whack. There are better options for the price.

I couldn't get it to work 3.4.3 or 3.5.0 using the in kernel staging

The last two weekends were full of bouldering around Spain in two amazing areas. First el Cogul in Lleida, there is a really cool and sloopy grey sandstone, it was a bit rainy but I was still motivated on working to crush some stuff there. With this in mind I did three 7c´s: Beer Action, Graham´s Boulder and L´Empotre. After these problems also I completed the 3rd ascent of one 8a, previously completed by Daniel Andrada and Sergi Segues. After this injection of motivation I put a project in me head of a super classic problem in el Escorial , Madrid. This mythical problem of hard granite is called la Megapuerta, 8a. I did it in one day complementing the weekend with La Llamada Perdida 7c, el lance del refugio 7c (flash) and some more cool stuff around there. This is the way to get more motivation and start the bouldering season here in Spain.

Parks and Recreation will end after seven seasons - it's official.
The seventh season of Parks and Recreation will be the show's last, NBC have announced. Despite the show proving consistently popular, executive are keen for Parks to come to a natural end and make way for new shows like comedy A to Z, with How I Met Your Mother's Cristin Milioti.
Amy Poehler Stars in 'Parks and Recreation'
"We have several of our strongest comedies by some of our best auspices being held for midseason, including the final season of Parks and Recreation," NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said in the release.
Many fans assumed Parks and Recreation had reached its climax during the last year, which saw various twits and time jumps during the finale, but it was subsequently renewed for a seventh outing.
More: Courteney Cox's Cougar Town to end after six seasons
Creators have confirmed that the last season will stay in its new time setting, with Amy Poehler's character Leslie pregnant with triplets.
Though Parks and Recreation will presumably end naturally, the same cannot be aid Community, which was axed after five seasons last week. Fans are currently spearheading a campaign to bring it back for a final series and a movie, hoping Netflix will resurrected it in the same way it rescued Arrested Development.
Back in April, Parks showrunner Mike Schur said the time-jump was written into the show because he knew the end was near. "I'd say that the finish line is in sight at this point," he told the Hollywood Reporter, "I don't want to say definitively but we've had a lot of internal discussions about it; we've talked to NBC a lot about it. The idea that we're nearing the end is part of what gave us the courage to do something like jumping ahead in time. We know we don't have to sustain it for five years. It's a move you do when you know that the show is nearing the end of its run."

A league source says that almost 80% of this season's hacking was done to five players: Jordan, Andre Drummond of Detroit and Howard, Josh Smith and Joey Dorsey of Houston. The coaches keep apologizing for doing it, saying the rules oblige them to do this… then voting against changing the rules.
Joey Dorsey RumorsAll NBA Players
Unfortunately, not everyone agrees it's an issue. In fact, team officials who do may be in the minority. "Change the rule? For what?" asked an Eastern Conference GM who is on the NBA's Competition Committee. "For DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard? Learn to shoot free throws." A league source says that almost 80% of this season's hacking was done to five players: Jordan, Andre Drummond of Detroit and Howard, Josh Smith and Joey Dorsey of Houston.
The Rockets have four players – Dwight Howard, Josh Smith, Clint Capela and Joey Dorsey – who shoot below 60 percent from the free-throw line. As the Rockets prepare to play the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs Saturday night, they know the hacking strategy might be in play. "We definitely understand and know they are going to throw every curveball possible that they have at us to throw us off our game plan, but we are mentally strong and mentally prepared," Smith said. "Guys have been coming in, getting extra shots in, extra free throws to be focused for those moments. Hopefully if it comes, we can make them pay and knock them down."
Marc Stein: Rockets are making the rounds on Christmas Eve, offering up anyone in the bottom third of their roster via trade to make room for Josh Smith. Joey Dorsey, Tarik Black, Isaiah Canaan, Nick Johnson, Clint Capela … Rockets seeking taker on any of the above to make room for Josh Smith.
Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that the team has signed guard Ish Smith, center Joey Dorsey, and forward Jeff Adrien.
Jonathan Feigen: Rockets announce signings of center Joey Dorsey, foward Jeff Adrien and gd Ish Smith, all – as w/ Ariza – making second stints with team.

With a debut US tour and celebrated collaboration "When You Loved Me" (alongside Boom Jinx and Ashley Tomberlin) already under his belt in 2013, his first solo Anjunabeats outing of the year sees him return in fine form with "Holding On". One of three Maor productions to feature on "Anjunabeats Volume 10", "Holding On" is an infectious blend of vibrant chords and driving, instantly uplifting piano melodies.

MAVEN Red Planet Workshop Chicago
Erin Wood
Saturday, March 8, 2014 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (CST)
Could life have formed on Mars early in its history? The MAVEN mission—the next mission to the Red Planet—will study Mars' climate and climate history. Mars was once a world with oceans, rivers, and lakes, but at some point in its history flowing water disappeared along with most of the atmosphere. What happened is a mystery: How did the atmosphere escape, and how long did that take? MAVEN will launch in November 2013 and arrive at Mars in 2014 to seek answers to such questions.
Join us for a one-day workshop on the MAVEN mission, and our accompanying program for elementary grades, Red Planet: Read, Write, Explore!
About the workshop and lessons:
Red Planet: Read, Write, Explore!
Elementary Program
A suite of six standards-based lessons combines science, literacy, and art to help students understand planetary habitability and the MAVEN mission. Students learn about Mars science, planetary habitability, and future exploration. Students read, write, and listen to both fiction and non-fiction about Mars, conduct research, and share ideas through discussion. Accompanying the lessons are science experiments and demonstrations.
The workshop, offered by the MAVEN education team, will introduce educators to these lessons and concepts. The workshop will also have a session devoted to Spanish speaking ELL and ESL students. Teachers will receive free classroom materials, including a copy of Dr. Jeffrey Bennett's Max Goes to Mars picture book.
Hi! I'm Erin Wood, educator at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. I am an education team member on NASA's MAVEN mission to Mars. My primary programs are the MAVEN Educator Ambassadors professional development, Red Planet: Read, Write, Explore!, and the Colorado Space Science Teachers Summit. I conduct teacher professional development and create curriculum. Additionally, I coordinate a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Solar and Space Physics funded by the National Science Foundation.

Economy: Why do we seem so helpless in solving our current mess? A big reason is the shocking lack of basic economic literacy among many of our political leaders. Case in point: Ohio Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown.
Brown ripped into GOP Rep. Eric Cantor, saying he "either failed English class or failed logic class or failed history class because these tax cuts for the rich that Bush did twice ... resulted in very little economic growth. We saw only 1 million jobs created in the Bush years, 22 million created in the Clinton years, when we reached a balanced budget with a fairer tax system."
This is false. From 2002, the last year before the cuts, to 2007, the last year before the financial meltdown, the real economy expanded by $1.77 trillion, or 15.2%. "Very little" growth? Jobs increased by 7.77 million, business investment surged 38%, and personal net worth soared 56%. Brown is wrong on every point.
Yes, gross domestic product did fall sharply in 2008 as the financial meltdown hit. But no reputable economist maintains the financial panic was a result of the Bush tax cuts.
Laughably, Brown talks about how "we" reached a balanced budget during the Clinton years. What do you mean "we," senator? Since budgets are written and passed by Congress, and only approved by the president, Brown must know that it was Republicans who balanced the budget — not Democrats.
That's right, a GOP-led Congress controlled the spending that led to the surpluses of the late 1990s. It also proposed welfare reform and pushed through cap-gains tax cuts that helped the economy boom. To his credit, President Clinton signed these initiatives into law — but only after much political arm-twisting.
Brown's idea of "fair" when it comes to taxes is strange. Since when is unequal treatment under the law, which our skewed tax code promotes, considered fair? Talk about failing Logic 101.
He went on to say: "There is no real history illustrating that these tax cuts for the rich result in jobs. It's extending unemployment benefits that creates economic activity that creates jobs, not giving a millionaire an extra ... $30,000 in tax cuts they likely won't spend."
"No real history"? Taxes were cut on high-income earners in the 1920s (Coolidge), 1960s (Kennedy), 1980s (Reagan) and again in the 2000s (Bush). These cuts benefited the rich and everyone else. In all these cases, jobs boomed after tax cuts. In fact, history shows that the best way to boost jobs is to cut taxes on the rich.
War On Terror: Refusing to help the only people effectively fighting the IS scourge is just one of Obama's many foreign-policy failures. And as we celebrate the 239th anniversary of our freedom, it's the most inexplicable.Of all of Barack Obama's counterproductive foreign-policy inactions fueling ...
