Different problem from that 60's episode.

That ICBM looks extremely clean for having traveled so far.

Wordplay was REALLY fun!

And see, this is what I liked about the 80s version. Imo its better television. As much as I liked 60s Twilight Zone, it did get preachy sometimes and not everything needs a moral. Plus, this twist was WAY better!

That’s where I think the original series is better. The original series had a moral story to the episode. With the newer twilight zone sometimes it’s just something weird happening.

For 70's horror films, I highly recommend the remake/reimagining of Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland and Duel with Dennis Weaver. Both are more suspenseful types of horror and well done.

Collin Freeman

Yes. Excellent film. Worth a look-see for TA.

Monty Crawford

I must have missed the uncut. Happens when you work 60-70 hours a week.

I watched Failsafe just recently. Another great Henry Fonda performance.

From the 80s run, I would recommend "Paladin of the Lost Hour" -- I think it's very much akin to this one, and is based on a novel by Harlan Ellison, who was the writer of "City On The Edge of Forever" which inspired the ST episode of the same name. From the original run, I would recommend "Mr Garity and the Graves" and "King-9 Will Not Return" -- two of my personal favorites that I think you both would like. Glad to see more Horror Gallery stuff in addition to ST!
