Not Only of Sight and Sound, But of Mind

Imagine if you will, a Digital Video Disc, containing an unusually high amount of the best loved Twilight Zone Episodes of all time. If such a disc exists, it would most certainly be: "The Twilight Zone: Vol. 2"

If you love the Twilight Zone, but don't want to buy all those different discs just to get some great episodes, this may be your one stop shopping solution! "The Twilight Zone: Vol 2" has four of the greatest Twilight Zone episodes, all on one disc. And it's five bucks at Amazon.com!


For starters, there is perhaps the best remembered and well-loved: "Time Enough at Last", where a man is left alone after a nuclear holocaust to read all the books he wants, except (spoiler!) when his glasses break! Starring Burgess Meredith, later known as the Penguin on the Batman TV show, and even later as Rocky's trainer, Mickey.


Then there's the classic and oft parodied: "Nightmare at 20.000 Feet" starring the Emmy Award-winning William Shatner. Bill plays a man recovering from a nervous breakdown who sees something eerie just outside on the airplane's wing.


My personal favorite TZ episode is here too, called "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" where strange power failures befall a little suburban community, and bring out what might be the worst monster around: ourselves.


And I love time-travel themes, and this fourth episode is one I actually remember watching and liking as a kid. "The Odyssey of Flight 33" is the creepy journey of a flight crew that accidentally travels back in time. (For a favorite time-travel Twilight Zone, it's a toss-up between this one and "No Time Like the Past", where a time-traveller attempts to alter horrible events of the past for the better, but in some cases (spoiler!) he ends up causing them! Available in Vol 33.)
