Anthology series The Twilight Zone is one of the most iconic horror shows of all time, with an instantly recognizable creepy theme. The show was created by Rod Serling, who also narrated and wrote most of its episodes. It first premiered in 1959 and lasted five seasons and over 100 episodes, then was rebooted three times, first in the '80s, then in the 2000s, and a final time in 2019 for streaming service Paramount+, where it aired for two seasons.
The dream sequence in “Twenty-Two” was creepy on its own, from its dark appearance to the apparent invitation for the woman to join the dead in the morgue, all made even worse by the fact that it was a recurring dream. This episode initially seemed to have more to do with the hospital and the morgue, but really, it was about dreams as a premonitions—while it was easy to assume that’s what the dream was, it was interesting to watch things actually play out.
“At least he died peacefully,” the psychiatrist said, but the audience knew that wasn’t close to true. The Twilight Zone featured plenty of twist endings, but the one in “Perchance to Dream” was among the most memorable—and most devastating. The series had featured plots centered around dreams before, but this time, the episode dealt with the thin line between the dreaming and waking worlds and how easily one can slip between the two without even known or being able to distinguish them.
The creepiest part of “The Howling Man” wasn’t the plot but its implications, and its setting was a crucial piece. First, the man—and the viewer—had to decide who was telling the truth. The monks’ story seemed unlikely, but it also made sense that the devil would tell any story he could to get someone to believe and release him. On top of that, the episode suggested the devil’s release led to World War II.
