  • Most definately... "There's someone on the wing, some... thing! Did you happen to see the 3rd Rock From The Sun episode where Shatner was the aliens' leader. When he meets John Lithgow and they recall their experiences with strange things on wings... That was a classic!!!

  • Nightmare at 20,000 feet enjoys great renown. Cant imagine it being merely #22

  • As below "Dead Man's Shoes" and "The Most Unusual Camera" as well.

  • Very good selection. I might have swaped out 5 or 6 of your choices for the following: "One for the Angels" with Ed Wynn, "Monsters Due on Maple Street" with Claude Akin, "The After Hours" with Anne Frances, "Midnight Sun" with Lois Nettleton and Betty Garde and "The Invaders" with Agnes Moorehead. Otherwise nice selection indeed....

  • my favorite episode is the howling man

  • Pretty good list, but you left off one of my favorite episodes, "Dead Man's Shoes" with Warren Stevens.

  • The series was done so well that different episodes touched viewers in different ways. Each episode has it's own merit. Let's not disagree, let's enjoy.

  • 22 is my boyfriends all time favorite :)

    18, 15, and 4 are some of mine. But my all tine favorite is called Silence

  • @spangle236161 That's a great episode as well, that guy was desperate, having his vocal chords severed, DAMN!

  • I guess it's a personal thing, but I think the story & acting in the one about the Mannequinn (Marsha, played by the girl who played Honey West) was incredible. Also Jack Klugman & Billy Mummy as his son, where Klugman asks God to take him instead of his son who was wounded in Vietnam. (very moving if you're a parent) Also the one about the dummy taking over the puppeteer. Also the one where the devil is captured only to be let loose again by accident. Where are all of these great shows???

  • What Happened to the one with Battling Max/ Fighting Robot with Lee Marvin? It plays whenever Twilight Zone does. Chuck Hicks is still working.

  • I found "Spur of the moment" was my favourite... dreamlike, nice twist at the end...

  • Twilight zone + X-files= Night of Fun

  • Thank you for placing this full episode.

    Do you know the title of the episode mentioned by Rod Serling at the end, i.e. the one about the fortune teller machine? If possible, could you post it in YouTube? Thank you in advance!

  • @wongmartinez if we're talking about the same fortune teller episode its called the nick of time :) the one with the diner and the machine with the devil on top?

  • Rod serling was a genius, every single episode was magic, and evrybody will have their own favorites, what i wanted was all of the episodes listed so i could watch ones I hadn't seen, but they pulled it off youtube, how about third planet from the sun where the dude keeps everybody surviving, or the one where the girl slips through the wall into another dimension, or the boxer who almost goes for it on the magic of a kid's believe system, or Room for one more honey, so many.

  • if you're 14 or younger, do not watch living doll, it scarred me for life

  • @skatejam7

    I watched it when I was like twelve, and than I watched Rozen Maiden (a show about living dolls).

  • Best episode ever- One Hundred Yards Over the Rim.

  • @deanguy66 This mention deserves a reply, yes, amazing episode, really underrated

  • Good to know someone else appreciated it! ;^)

  • @deanguy66 Yeah man, that was one of the episodes I grew up with, my parents started getting those Columbia House VHS tapes way back when, and that was on one of the tapes, we never got all the tapes though, lol, but now we have The Complete Definitive Collection :D

  • Where's Changing of the guard .

    Love that one

  • This is my favorite television show of all time- I have a few friends that are also as obsessive about it as I am, and I've discovered it's foolish to attempt to pick a universal best episode. What's interesting, is that asking what a person's personal favorite episode is, tends to be a really good way to figure out who they are, and what's important to them. The ones that always spoke to me, were "Passage for Trumpet" and "Nervous man in a four dollar room".

  • These are my personal favorites... Walking Distance- hands down my favorite A Stop at Willoughby Nick of Time The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street The Grave To Serve Man A Kind of a Stopwatch The Hitch-Hiker Back There Mr. Bevis
  • Which episode is the one where the dude switches lives, and the guy he switches with has a wife who knows that the dude is a different guy because of some vase?

  • W00t. Teefury sent me here!

  • My #1 did not merit a mention:

    In Praise of Pip.

  • I recommend Probe 7 over and out.

  • used to stay up late to watch this when i was a nipper!!!!

  • whats the name of the elvis priestly one where the impersonator takes his life ?

  • whats the one where the guy fakes the end of the world and brings three people into a shelter and when he comes back up hes insane or something

  • @enohpoxasotla100 One more paulbearer

  • this list is very stupid if To Serve Man, Time Enough at Last, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, The Stopwatch, The Living Doll, and the Odyssey of Flight 33. are not in the top 10!!! >.<

  • @catgutzable, I'm inclined to agree with you -- with "The Hitchhiker" in the same boat.

  • Top 25? I disagree! As one who grew up watching these things (I'm 40-plus), I have the opinion that this list is grossly out of order. No such list is accurate if "Time Enough at Last," "The Hitchhiker," "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" and "To Serve Man" are not in the top five!

  • @TheWriterWalker . I agree those 5 episodes belong WAY UP on BEST Episodes

  • @godzilla2011able, thank you for agreeing with me. I know I sounded passionate in my above response, but I get that way when it comes to The Twilight Zone (smile). You know what I'm saying, right?

  • @TheWriterWalker Its impossible to make an accurate top 5, 10 or 50 list! They are all great! Its all in the eye of the beholder.

  • @marshalljimduncan, did you end your comment with "all in the eye of the beholder" on purpose? You know you referenced the episode in which Donna Douglas (Beverly Hillbillies' Ellie Mae Clampett) finds herself in a world where beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder! Cute. And thanks for the response to my response (smile).

  • @TheWriterWalker Yes, lol, I did. Your picks for the top5 are all favorites of mine! I just think it would be impossible to actually compile a top anything list for the zones! The all deserve top billing (wink)!

  • @marshalljimduncan, was "top billing" another pun? Because this time I'm clueless? Lol. Fill me in!

  • @TheWriterWalker "Time Enough at Last" MUST be in the top five)

  • @welka1, I agree, although it's hard to find "Time Enough" in its entirety on YouTube--that one and another favorite, "The Hitchhiker." But I'm grateful for the ones that are here. I've made a playlist of them. My other similar playlist contains Alfred Hitchcock TV classics, which are far more numerous than Twilight Zone episodes.

  • what happen to this show was ot only on for a few years.

  • @catgutzable yeah i love how the venusian looks at the martian lol

  • "What you need" is a great episode but i expected to see "Jess-Belle" at the top and "The Grave" second =D

  • Anybody know the episode with Jack Klugman playing the trumpet as a jazz player?

    I know he came out in like 3 or 4 different episodes but I can't seem to find this specific one. He gets hit by a car and starts walking around but nobody can see nor hear him. Except...

  • @vassephardi A Passage for Trumpet is the episode

  • My favorite part of The Twilight Zone I don't know what the episode #? is about a woman with the flying saucer in the attic and its turns out the property by US Air Force when she smash it with the baseball bat!

  • @JerzeyPrince23 "The Invaders." It was Rod Serling's favourite ep he didn't write. It was written by Richard Matheson.

  • howling man should be in there also

  • Deaths Head Revisted is by far the best twilight zone episode, hands down. 

  • Shit list. Where the fuck was "the monsters are due on maple street?"

  • @Daggerfall40 yeah that was a good one, where everyone turns on each other.

  • Nothing in the Dark is my favorite, but where would Five Characters In Search of An Exit be in a longer list? That is a great episode.

  • anyone know the name of that episode where theres this guy who dosnt believe its the end of the world and everyone that got that message believes it and he thinks those people in suits that delievered those tapes are aliens trying to kill him but they arnt there just angels saving people and at the end those people are saved and theres a nuke after that ??

  • IMO To serve a man is pretty boring

  • The Mask is an awesome episode.

  • caught

  • Horror novel see video book trailer

  • worst episode:I sing the body electric

  • watch all of the twilight zone episodes here twilightzoneepisodes. com

  • I've came on here searching for an episode of TZ. I remember there were little 'blue men' beings who hid things from people, but then put them back. That's all I remember. Having read some posts I'm going to watch some recommended episodes, it's been years but I loved watching when they were on tv.

    Hope someone out there can help........der der deeer der! :)

  • Not a terrible list, my only real criticism is that eye of the beholder should be much

    higher, i have that as one of the absolute iconic TZ episodes of all time.

  • Is there an episode where these people are stuck in a house in the middle of nowhere with tornadoes everywhere outside so they are trapped, maybe it's not TZ though..

  • ...Seriously, "The After Hours" is NOT on the list???

  • @corey84douglass- that would be "You Drive" with Edward Andrews, from the last season.

  • no monsters are due on maple street?

  • You'd need to include the time travel episode where the scientist tried to stop disasters in the past but it never worked out and He's Alive about Hitler's ghost returning to inspire a young man.

    It's way too difficult to pick just 25 episodes of the best show BY FAR of it's kind in TV history...

  • Do you the name of the episode in which is morgan freeman who plays poker against the devil?

    Thank you

  • @shlomojanuca That'a called "Dealer's Choice." It wasn't the original twilight zone, but the version that came out in the 80s.

  • Good List. But what about: Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet? Both are great episodes.

  • Does anyone know the name of the episode starring Lois Nettleton ?

  • @JIMNYCLA The Midnight Sun. Great episode!

  • @JIMNYCLA She's so hot in that episode! :)

  • whats the 1 where the guy hits or kills some kid on the bike & then the car pretty much makes him turn himself in???

  • does anyone know what the name of the episode is where words spoken mean completely different things then their actual meanings?

    IE:

    Yes dear, I'd like some furniture with my eggs.

    The word furniture in place of toast..

  • The worst two I ever saw were The Mirror and The Encounter...even though it was cool to see a young Sulu.

  • I shot an arrow is a great one too.

  • The bug eyed dude episode is from the outer limits(the old series) and it is called the MUTANT!

  • A Stop at Wiloughby is the ultimate best one

  • You're missing 2 episodes, and ironicly one is called Two. The other is The Obsolete Man. And To Serve Man and Will The Real Martian Please Stand up are in the wrong places. That's just my opinion

  • @Manateecutie the obselete man was amazing i just saw it a couple of days ago =]

  • @xodreamchicxo101 The obsolete man is awesome :) Has anyone else ever seen two? That's my fave :)

  • Does anyone know the name of the episode where someone wakes form a dream where the world is in an ice age only to find that the planet is burning up in the heat of the sun?

  • @scottandildi The Midnight Sun

  • @pieces11 That was a very good episode!

  • @scottandildi

    That episode should be in the top 25. It is definitely one of the better ones.

  • @scottandildi Actually, I think you have that backward: through most of the episode, the woman (Lois Nettleton), was dreaming - unknown to the viewer - believing the world was going to burn up...but then near the end, she wakes up and the world is in peril via a deep freeze.

  • @rskissack Yes your right.

  • @scottandildi i think you might be speaking o the episode where the woman had a fever or something, falls asleep and has a dream the world is extremely hot to the point where her paintings begin to melt. Atleast thats the episode that comes to mind from your description

  • @Neptunes620 That episode is called "The Midnight Sun", and has a great atmosphere to it, as well as a kick-ass musical score.

  • which is the episode that has four people dressed like dolls and when the come out of the can their actually dolls?

  • @psychedxrockr You might be referring to "Five Characters in Search of an Exit".

  • lol a stop at waloughby ( spelled wrong i know ) is one of the best

  • anybody ever hear/see of The Money Tree? it is one episode my wife & I both saw & i can't find it anywhere???

    Twilight Zone, Outer Limits?

  • @toyznstuff Not a Twilight Zone episode...

  • @toyznstuff

    What is the episode about exactly?

  • i love Twilight Zone, whats the episode called where the old man is in purgatory with his dog, and the one where aliens bring a book with the cure to cancer but the towns people burn it.

    thanks!

  • @MxAxRxK The one about the book with the cure for cancer is called The Gift

  • I remember constantly watching this when i was a kid, I was hooked. There is nothing to this day that is so dark and eerie, and subtly scary then this series, Way too many special effects these days, the soul of a totally spooky experience is gone,

    just the voice of Rod Sterling was eerie enough.

  • which episode is it where someone says "this is a nice place to visit but i wouldnt wanna live here" it is not in the episode 'A Nice Place To Visit'

  • can anyone remember the title of the episode where a little girl or boy held the family captive in looney tune world ? or was that outer limits, or am i off to the doctors as it never existed in the real world .

  • @londonsgirl1 I think it was in one of the twilight zone movies. The first one I believe.

  • I love the episode where the earth is moving closer to the sun, but then it was a dream and the earth is actually moving farther away from it.

    P.S Does this video get alot of view after thanksgiving? Cause i watch the twilight zone parade all day..lol. That's the reason why im here looking up twilight zone shows.

  • @helloimclaudio well thanks for spoiling that episode for me pal

  • @ryriley0 sorry man

  • @helloimclaudio it's okay I still enjoyed the episode, it's called mignight sun btw

  • @ryriley0 Thanks for the name. Glad you liked it:)

  • @helloimclaudio right, i remember that one..with the chick's painting melting at the end, and then she's in bed or something like that.

  • @Valleyheat outer limits?

  • @RandomLove6 "mirror image"

  • in middle school i watched this episode with my class and I remember very little about it except there was a riot in this neighborhood and i think it had something to do with an alien invasion and i think the lesson was something along the lines of humans are the real aliens...do u have any idea of what episode this is (sorry for the lack of detail)

  • @Toastyrokr it's nightmare on maple street

  • BEST ONE IS "THE GIFT" BUT OTHERS WHICH ARE THE STAND-OUTS 2 ME ARE

    "WALKING DISTANCE".. "THE LONELY".. "THE HITCH HIKER".. "A STOP AT WILLLOUGHBY".,.. "THE MIDNIGHT SUN".. "5 CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN EXIT".."A PIANO IN THE HOUSE".."YOUNG MAN'S FANCY"..."THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD"..."RING A DING GIRL".."THE MASKS"...AND "I AM THE NIGHT COLOR ME BLACK"

  • I feel like this guy came up with every cool story and idea ever, and all anyone can do is rehash them.

  • Sad to see "The Obsolete Man" didn't make it to your list. I love that episode, but they're all good.

  • @RandomLove6 I think that's Mirror Image

  • TWILIGHT ZONE 60'S were an 'AMERICAN INSTITUTION". Most of the shows were great. The 80's twilight zone series SUCKED BIG TIME.

  • @RandomLove6 that episode is called "Mirror Image" and it's from season 1. It's a good one!

  • The only episodes I remember are the old lady being attacked by tiny aliens, the one on the plane with I think William Shatner, and the guy who wakes up before the train in his dream reaches that one town.

  • @ChiefDen4 a stop at willoughby

  • Most of your picks don't even rate the top fifty,let alone twenty-five. I can say this,since I've been watching The Twilight Zone for almost forty years. how about "The Masks","A Quality of Mercy","The Changing of the Guard","Deaths-Head Revisited",and "A Kind of Stopwatch" to name a few.

  • "The silence" seemed like it should have made it up there, one more my favorite :)

  • only episode I ever saw was nightmre at 20 000 feet, really wanna see more of this show considering how awesome that one was

  • Walking distance is the best.

  • im looking for a certain episode i love so much i saw it once late at night

    a man sees himself on tv beating and murdering his wife nd even though hes in fear he ends up doing just that in realy life later

  • @DOKt00n the episode you're looking for is called "What's In The Box?" from season 5.

  • @DOKt00n The episode you are after is titled, "Whats in the Box?"

  • @DOKt00n Great episode!

  • @DOKt00n WAIT, IS THAT THE ONE WITH WALTER? THE GUY JEFF DUNHAM STOLE?

  • @MrSkateholic i dont know what youre talking about, but the episode i found out is called 'whats in the box'

  • WHAT ABOUT "THE HOWLING MAN?" IT'S BY FAR IN THE TOP 3 to ME :D

  • @someCOCKSUCKER ALSO I FORGOT "WILL THE REAL MARTIAN PLEASE STAND UP" :D Im 25 and will always be a fan of true masterpieces unlike the steaming piles of poop they put on t.v. nowadays....

  • ABSOLUTELY!! Little girl lost is #1 in my book.......and you dont even have it in your top 25??!!??

    And what about the ventriloquist one with (Robert Culp?)

  • Time Enough At Last, Nightmare at 20,000 feet, The Hitch-hiker, A Penny For Your Thoughts, Nothing In The Dark, A World Of His Own, To Serve Man, and Will The Real Martian Stand Up are some of my favs. I also like: Howling Man, The Fever, A Nice Place to Visit, Nick of Time, The Passerby, The Hunt, and I Am The Night-Color Me Black.

  • just because there is no sound and it talks about the twilight zone it makes it creepier and better video

  • what about the obsolete man?!

  • Anyone know the episode where it shows a creepy, bug-eyed dude? He wears sun glasses to cover his eyes.

  • @ShadowStrangle55 It's from the outer limits(old series) and it is called the MUTANT.

  • Thanks for that - I've been trying to locate this for about 10 years!!!! It is the most scary one that i have ever seen. Best Wishes, Lance

  • HOW COME NO MUSIC

  • Good list, but "Uncle Simon" should be on it, man! "Barbara! Bring me some hot chocolate!"

  • @ForgetaboutFreeman first of all thanks for your reply, also, is burnt offerings one of those bloody horrors, or does it has monsters in it? reason I ask is because I rarely find those type of movies scary at all, or is it like realistic type scary? thanks :).

  • At the 49 mark lol 

  • You rock, man! A true expert if you really watched all the 156 episodes so many times. Thanks for the awesome list.

  • At the end of his life, the deadliest gunfighter of the Old West is given a choice: Hell or redemption. He chooses redemption and God's Archangel transports him to modern day Los Angeles to serve bloody, frontier justice on the worst dregs of society.

  • A for effort, but Nightmare As A Child and A Game Of Pool are two of the absolute worst Twilight Zones ever and shouldn't have made the list. What You Need is okay but far from among the top episodes, let alone number one. Glad to see The Shelter and A Stop At Willoughby in there. Just my $0.02.

  • There's something weird about all this.

  • "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" is one of my parents' favorite episodes, and I personally think William Shatner looks HOT in it, LOL!

  • which is the scariest episode aside from the living doll?

  • It's all completely subjective, but I can't see how Eye of the Beholder would be ranked any lower than the top 5.

  • In order to rank the 25 best Twilight Zone episodes, you must watch each of the 156 episodes 7 or 8 times.

  • I respect your opinion, but you've missed a couple and a most unusual camera is not top five not top 15 even

  • @Bingo628 Actually, it is #4.

  • @pieces11 I know, I thought it shouldn't be in the top 15

  • Where is "Eye of the Beholder?" To Serve man should be no. 1

  • my favorite is the nightmare at 20,000 feet!!it was so good.

  • anyone know where can i watch the episode "What You Need" ?

  • if time enough at last isnt in your top 3 you are insane. no offense

  • the masks is my fav

  • @ArabMoney62 I also enjoyed the masks, although I found it a bit predictable.

  • escape calus is one of the best just that line "give the electric chair a whirl" lmao

  • What you need is a great one!! You left off the Masks! and the one where the guy turns into the devil at the church!! and what about time at last!! or the obsolete man!! or when the RIP the dog and the old man drown and go to Heaven!! Its all a matter of preference. Nice list!!

  • "third from the sun" is definity my favorite... also i think that "time enough at last" should be farther up the list

  • I love Nightmare as a Child and Eye of the Beholder

  • not a bad list...I love the zone...

  • I get no audio and no my computer is not on mute

  • where is everybody should be on the list.

  • i love to see all these old actors together and young. it's a smorgasbord of talent, this awesome old show.

  • Best. TV. Show. Ever.

  • My favorite episode is "3rd from the sun"...Alot of great episodes, but the ending of that one gives me an eerie feeling..=)

  • Wait a minuite, where is the ep. where the kid rolls off his bed and falls thru the wall and into the 4 dimension?

  • @edesir

    The episode that you are after is titled "Littke Girl Lost." It is a great episode.
