I've heard a lot about this episode over the years. I've seen the movie remake version so thought I knew what to expect.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Without going into too much detail this is not only the creepiest TZ I've ever seen but possibly the creepiest piece of TV ive ever seen!

From a small boy making a 3 headed gopher then killing it to the most twisted and unnerving ending I've ever witnessed- this one freaked me out thoroughly. I can only imagine the impact it had in 1961.

Outstanding!

Yeah this one's great as well.

Remade into the Joe Dante installment of TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE,the one with Kevin McCarthy and the cartoon monsters.

The original,however has a more serious slant on it.......
