My Favorite Episode of the Twilight Zone!!!
As someone born in the late 1980s I have always half heartedly loved the Twilight Zone. Looking back in time some of these episodes aged really well and some where junk. But this Episode I remember first seeing on Cable TV in the late 1990s during the XMas/New Years marathons. Even the 1980s version of Dead Woman's shoes did it justice and the 2002 version was ok. This is one of the handful of Twilight Zone Episodes that is absolutely timeless and classic!!! I really can't recommend this episode enough. Probably on the rate side even though I am now in my mid 30's that people not of this era hold it in such high regard. Watching this never gets old for me!!!
