These are anthology shows like The Twilight Zone or Tales From The Crypt and the like. Here are my Top 10:
10: Green Fingers--Night Gallery: Elsa Lanchester plays an old woman who loves gardening, and she can make ANYTHING grow. So she tells the developers who want to take her house and build a site. It's when they start to muscle in that she gives them a real gardening lesson.
9: Gather Ye Acorns--Amazing Stories: Mark Hamill is a homeless bum who follows the advice given him as a ***** by a troll, to "*****, not do." Of course, this leads him down the path to a meager existence, aimlessly collecting odd knick-knacks which he crowds into his car. Hmmm....wonder if they're worth anything...
8: The Hidden Thing--Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Dana Edwards plays a man besieged by grief after his fiancee is ****** by a hit-and-run driver. Soon he is visited by a man claiming to be an expert at memory recall. Can he help him remember the car's plate number? And is he really who he claims to be?
7: Soldier--The Outer Limits: A futuristic soldier programmed only to **** is teleported into the present, where a doctor tries to unlock the human side of him. That is, until another soldier from the future comes to eliminate him. Sound familiar?
6: Battleground--Stephen King's Nightmares And Dreamscapes: William Hurt plays a hitman who, upon returning to his apartment following a big ****, finds a strange package: a collection of miniature toy soldiers. Let me tell you...these soldiers ain't fake.
5: To Serve Man--The Twilight Zone: A race of tall, big-headed aliens land on Earth with a book which they claim outlines their plans to help all mankind. So they start taking the Earthlings away to "visit" their planet. Good thing we have a good translator!
4: Staired In Horror--Tales From The Crypt: D.B. Sweeney plays a criminal fugitive seeking refuge from an old woman in a remote house. After ******* his way in, he finds the old woman and her stairway have a kind of symbiotic relationship. And so will he.
3: It's A Good Life--The Twilight Zone: Billy Mumy is a *** with super powers. He can do anything, so don't **** him off. He holds an entire Ohio town captive. It's a good episode.
2: Premium Link Upgrade --Tales From The Crypt: Audra Lindley and M. Emmet Walsh are delightful as a couple coming to terms with his ****** retirement. She's an ****** lover who has collected dozens of pets throughout the years, and he's a bitter ****** hater...who has just taken up taxidermy as a hobby.
1: Premium Link Upgrade --The Twilight Zone: Rod Taylor, Jim Hutton, and the rest are marvelous in this creepy and unsettling classic. Three astronauts return to Earth after a failed mission, only to have all evidence and knowledge of them disappear...except for the next to go.
So...what are your favorite episodes?
