Just caught this episode on the SyFy channel's Twilight Zone marathon...I don't think many people appreciate the quality of the writing or the profound and socially relevant storylines.

'You can catch the Devil, but you can't hold him long.' Ask Brother Jerome. Ask David Ellington. They know, and they'll go on knowing to the end of their days and beyond...in the Twilight Zone.

When has Satan ever looked so good? ... Or maybe it was just the men back then. Men knew how to be men, not boys.

Either way, you have to love the classics <3

I've always LOVED this episode. In this scene alone it's just things like editing, a dutch angle shot, that weird back movement by the traveler does, and the compelling music that moves the scene forward that makes it so powerful.

Sometimes the LESS technology you have the more honest the approach and less bells and whistles to hide behind.

Long live The Twilight Zone!

@BigMacEater343 - I find that nearly all who scoff at faith and Christianity in particular will - if you engage them long enough - end up admitting their objections to divine transcendence lies in a desire to have license to do as they please without fear of consequences. Most of them I wouldn't even dignify with the term "agnostic," they are simply self-centered rebels against any established order. It's easy to become annoyed with overly religious people, I understand.

How sad, that its easier to deny god than to believe in him. I feel bad for all unbelievers.

[Justafox305]

it was at this moment, where the guy thought  "oh crap"

[TheSaibre656]

@65kowalski So very true

Regenmacher175 - I don't claim to have the answers and would never be so foolish as to claim evidence as to God's existence. A strong element of faith required. Science does a fair job of explaining the physical world, but it falls well short of explaining the metaphysical world. If YOU choose to believe only physical things are real, so be it. I find it easier to believe a transcendant being created the world than that we all arose abiogenetically from slime. No God? How liberating, eh?
