Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

for homecoming week we had different themes , one of which was the twilight zone , i got to thinking , it would be pretty cool to go as someone from the twilight zone (like the narrorator) or something , if anyone is interestied i have how to make the costume.

temp hair dye (gray)
gray face paint
a gray suit

so pretty much make yourself gray (or black and white) , and maybe have a trick or treat bag that says (you are now entering the twilight zone) , or a banner for a house if you arnt going trick or treating. It sounds kind of stupid once its wrote down but it sounded cool in my head. :0)

I die a little inside when Rod Serling is just referred to as "The Narrator" of the Twilight Zone. Not only did he do the opening and closing monologue for the shows, he also wrote several (nearly all) of the early black and white episodes too.

... and the more recent Twilight Zone series had several epidoes written by fantasy author George R.R. Martin (who also wrote for Beauty and the Beast, the TV series).

Yay!

i never knew that was him narrorating. that's so awsome , its also cool to know that he wrote some of them.

How could anyone not love the Twilight Zone. That show was pure genius.

I liked the episode where a woman has cosmetic face surgery, and it turns out that she looks normal, to us, while everyone else (in that world,) is goof-faced ugly.

The doctors (who are ugly,) say that it's the best they can do, to make her look normal/ugly. But she's a beautiful woman. Everyone is repulsed by her.

The doctors have to send her to a special home where everyone looks normal like "normal".. And she's so scared of going there. Because she want's to look, what to THEM is normal/ugly.

Someone from the home is there to take her to the home, and he's a handsome man. And SHE'S repulsed by him.

the best 1 was w/ burgess meredith (sp?)

I love "a Stop at Willoughby". A tortured Add Executive rides a train to work every day, falls asleep and dreams of the train stopping in a 19th century town named Willoughby where life is easy and stress free. Each time he wakes up just before he is about to get off. He finally decides to get off at the stop. We find out he jumped off the train and was killed. The coolest part is when you see that furneral parlor that picks up the body is "Willoughby furneral home". Chills still run up my spine every time I see it.

OH! The one where he's the last man alive on earth, (he was in a bank vault when the bombs go off?) and he want's to read books. Then he breaks his glasses?

That episode is called "Eye of the Beholder". It's a classic.

OMG I LOVE TAHT ONE.

I like the one with Billy Mumy (sp?) where they live in a rural village and when he gets mad he makes people and things disappear. And who can forget the William Shatner episode with the gremlin on the wing??

No change no change! i love the pig face episode! :0)

and the one where it has a ballerina , a clown , a hobo and some other things in a large round cylender and they try to escape and it turns out they are dolls in a big pail or something like that.

Twilight Zone owns! My faves are the ones with Milton Selzer ("The Masks" and the "Frisby" one).

I love the one where they shoot off a rocket and think they crash on an asteroid and one of the crew members kills all ther others for thier water and turns out that they landed in Reno, Nevada. Its black and white and I think its called... I shot an arrow into the sky. I love the Irony.[/i]
