scariest 60's tv shows? Twilight Zone or Outer Limits or other?

Answer 1

I would say Outer Limits, but Twilight Zone is a close second. Also liked Dark Shadows and Creature Features.

Answer 2

I don't remember anyone considering either of them scary. Some episodes were eerie, and the gremlin on the airplane's wing spooked my sister and I when we were little. But, I don't remember any real scares although "The Zanti Misfits" in "Outer Limits" were creepy~antlike aliens with wild-looking eyes that buzzed loudly (if I recall correctly). I've watched these two series countless times, as well as the new versions and "Night Gallery", too.

Now, if you want scary, try "Boris Karloff's Thriller"! I remember that getting shrieks though I have only hazy memories of some episodes! Perhaps they were so scary that I blocked out seeing them. There's a legendary episode, "Pigeons from Hell", that I don't really remember but that is supposed to be frightening. So, why don't they rerun "Thriller"? They even had a comic book version.

This includes an episode guide.

"One Step Beyond" also was a spooky one. I think that episodes were supposedly based on true stories. John Newland was the host, a very elegant man with a great voice. I seem to recall that, in one episode, he and another man took peyote to study the effects. Wow! I just read that it preceded "Twilight Zone" by nine months!

Please note that there is an episode guide, too.
Note: It also was called "Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond". Alcoa was the sponsor; I think they manufactured aluminum.

Answer 3

The (unique) Twilight Zone. mutually as the unique Outer Limits became extraordinarily ingenious, it became very hit or leave out. thoughts from the Crypt became extra horror/fright than technology fiction, and it did no longer in many cases have any intense message linked. The Twilight Zone sequence in the 80s bounced between relatively stable and actually moronic, yet whilst it struck gold it became incredible. The extra cutting-edge Outer Limits initially got here decrease back to Showtime with some extra T&A to help sell it, yet its first 2 seasons have been the suitable. Then whilst production went to syndication they wiped sparkling it up and actually made it artwork extraordinarily plenty. nonetheless, on the top of the day the unique Twilight Zone golds the championship identify between the three.

Answer 4

Some of those early Twilight zone episodes were pretty creepy!

So I'd say Twilight zone..
