Very Creepy "Twilight Zone" Opening Monologue

From "Nightmare as a Child", episode 29 of season 1. I find this monologue unusually creepy. The entire episode is rather disturbing but, like most "Twilight Zone" episodes, very enjoyable.

The acting ability of children in these earlier days was unbelievable. Far superior to the underaccomplished little brats of today who just seem to be reading the sentences off of the scripts, or in other instances, hamming it up to the point of being sickening. I truly think the artistic abilities of children are reflected by the educational standards of the time.

Rod Serling is the master of monologues.

@spartacus3ful I know, wow this little girl's acting is marvelous. Children too were better dressed back then. Her clothes are very pretty she looks like a cute and pretty dolly

@KryptonianBaby IQ seems to follow the same trend as wealth. The Genius gets wiser and the Idiot gets.. stupider.

@CRAKIZGOOD I just saw this one on New Year's day, it was the last one of the marathon! Such a good one!

@spartacus3ful actually, the IQ standard of today is 22 points higher than it was in 62. An average IQ from then would register at a 78 today, almost a "mentally retarded" classification.

I love this one! I had never seen it until a few years ago despite watching many TZ marathons on SciFi!

Truly acting is based on an emotional basis but also an intellectual level of sophistication to analyze and divine choices to be made in charactrer development.  I would agree with Spartacus that the educational bar today is much lower and wishey-washey to accomodate this new "texting" generation whose attention span is miniscule, retention is nil and point of reference is limited..
