Another New Year's TZ Marathon

I'm waiting for the most cold-blooded chilling episodes like "And When the Sky Was Opened", "Judgment Night", "Purple Testament", "The Hitch Hiker", "The Grave" and also its sweetest, most heart-warming episode, "The Hunt."

I love Rod Serling's flowery narration at the beginning and end, it's pure poetry. Like when he'd introduce a character by saying, "submitted for your approval" or "please find enclosed." That's one of its unique charms.

Note: I'm posting it here instead of the TV forum because Twilight Zone is such a major, iconic element of American culture, I believe it deserves a much larger USMB-audience by posting it in this subforum.

Now they're showing The Grave. The wild west ghost story in which Lee Marvin is a fearsome badass without firing a single shot. With a surprise-ending-quirk only Rod Serling could think of.

Sweet, now they're playing "The Hitch Hiker," one of the really spooky ones.
