I've been watching the sci-fi channel marathon of the old show, and some of the stories are similar to some of King's novels.

Yes he did. I watched an interview with King and he pointed to "The Twilight Zone" as well as early comic magazines as two of his chief inspirations in his writing. George Lucas also considers both as major influences as well.

Did Stephen King write "Child's Play"? I think the Twilight Zone episode about the Talky Tina doll inspired that movie. That episode sure scared me when I was a little girl, 45 years ago.

I don't think he gets his ideas from Rod Serling's Twilight Zone, there are similarities, not so much similarities but same ideas.
Remember, he lived in the 60S & 70S.
I like both Stephen King and Rod Serling

I'm sure the Twilight Zone inspired him. It was a great show, and I'm not even a sci-fi fan.

he got a lot of his ideas from the bottom of a bottle of mouth wash or the kids cough medecine, when the hard drugs ran out - many books he worte and didn't remember what they were about.
