How about the one where the woman is driving across country and keeps seeing the same hitchhiker? Or the one where the little girl fell through the wall into another dimension? Scared me to death as a little tyke! Please feel free to share your ‘favorite’ T-Zone episodes!

In horror movies, you don’t have to open the door. The
monster always claws and chews a big hole in the door and
enters and eats you up like monsters will do. It’s more
“suspenseful” that way.

Ugh - Years. I'm still scarred from seeing this as a 5 yo.

Outer Limits was dark. Or was this Twilight Zone?

I would not go out and look. Suppose there were creatures out there? Then what do you do?

I don’t suppose he had a ray gun and if he did it would be likely be cheap Chinese stuff.

When John Glenn was on one of his space flights, he reported that there were a lot of little glowing lights outside his window.

There was a tense pause at Mission Control, and then the lead guy asked “What are they saying John?” and everybody broke up.

Turns out it was frozen condensation breaking off.

It’s due to the large temperature differences felt by the structure of the spacecraft. A high school kid knows this, don’t ask me why this moron of a astronaut doesn’t.

That would be my guess, but what spooks me is he didn’t. I wondered if he did consider this but it something made him think not. Also, the other astronauts that went and heard the same didn’t consider this either. Seems the logical answer.
