And, (2) the one about the neighborhood where the lights go out, and rumors spread about alien invaders

"The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street." They actually showed that episode to my seventh grade son's social studies class as a cautionary tale about prejudice.

Thanks! I’ll have to look up that episode. I read the short story before I saw the episode. I don’t know if the Twilight Zone picked stories already written and made them into episodes, or if TZ episodes were made into short stories.

Another short story I read was called, “The Lottery”, and I think it was a TZ episode, too.

I never thought about letting my kids watch the series, but it’s pretty clean, if I remember correctly. Some good moral lessons in it, too.
