To this day, my brother won’t watch that episode. He’s 55. I scared the cr@p out of him during that episode.

Bingo!
(Although I remember it as the “earwick” ????)

It was many years ago, you and I were just crawling around on the floor.

The one where a beautiful woman is sent into plastic surgery because she isn’t beautiful like everyone else. We, the viewers, don’t actually get to see how everyone else looks... until the end.

Terror at 26000 ft scared the crap out of me also.

So did "Will the real martian please stand up?" The guy's third eye freaked me out.

Times have changed.

An old lady is terrorized in her rural/ desert house by tiny astronauts — and it turns out those are US astronauts terrorizing an alien giant.

The one where Obama gets elected president.

Horrible fright.

Glad it was a fiction.

Mine is “The Passerby” where the wife of a Civil War soldier watches as numerous troops keep walking by. She finally sees her husband who confirms they’re all dead, but refuses to accompany him. Finally, Abe Lincoln comes along and confirms that he’s the last casualty. She then accompanies him into the distance. I also liked the one with Donald Pleasance as the old teacher comforted by the ghosts of students he’d taught.

To Serve Man. IT’S A COOKBOOK.

"Change".

It means socialism and servitude.
