Default Twilight Zone & Horror Films

Continuing on with our Horror theme for The Twilight Zone building up to Halloween, I thought it would be pretty cool to create a thread dedicated to the Twilight Zone episodes that remind us of our favourite horror films.

Of course there's the Killer Doll films mentioned in the other thread, but what about killer machinery (as seen in A Thing About Machines) that has similarities to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive and Christine.



So do any Twilight Zone episodes remind you of horror films?

One that springs to mind is the "Little girl lost" episode. Brilliant episode and one that "Poltergeist" and "Insidious" owe a tremendous debt to IMO.

And spoofed brilliantly in a treehouse of horror episode of The Simpsons.
