Twilight Zone!

I began collecting volumes of the Twilight Zone after watching the Twilight Zone Marathon over the New Year's holiday. Though the volumes (which are much more affordable) only consist of individual episodes and not the chronological order episodes that are found on collective editions (which are more costly), have some of the best episodes on just one volume. To me, Volume 11 was the best especially the episode with the Talky Tina Doll, where she kills the mean, unloving stepfather simply because he didn't care for the doll or his stepdaughter.

Another great episode on this volume is The After Hours. This episode tells the tale of a shopper who buys a gold thimble on an empty floor of a department store. Unbeknownst to her, this is the floor where they keep the store mannequins when they are not in use. Of course she doesn't find this out until the end when it is revealed to her that she is really a mannequin. This volume is a must have in the movie collection

One of the very best Volumes in "The Twilight Zone" series!

When I looked at the lengthy list of "Twilight Zone" DVD volumes this one stuck out more than any of the others. In my opion, it has three of the most outrageously entertaining(yet still quite frightening)episodes "The Twilight Zone" has ever made. "The After Hours" is about Marsha White(Anne Francis), a simple woman who is merely looking for a gold thimble in a department store. However, when she steps into the elevator, she is guided to the 9th floor of the the 8 story building! On this supposed floor she meets odd people who turn out to be even odder when(on one of the regular floors)she sees on of them..........in manicane form! This is one of my favorite episodes of "The Twilight Zone"! Partly because of the completely unexpected ending. "Living Doll" is another shocker! Erich Sleater is a man who feels that his step-daughter is spoiled with too many dolls. So, you can imagine how he feels when his wife and daughter come home with an extremly expensive doll! You can also only imagine how he feels when(after everyone leaves the room)the doll starts saying things like "I hate you!" & "I'm going to kill you!". This is another classic that had me biting my nails to the very end of the show. I also enjoy Rod Sterling's ending words that seem to make the story feel a little too realistic. "The Dummy" is about a ventrilogoust that has an evil Dummy named Willie! Everyone thinks he's crazy but somehow he knows he's not. The only way to stop the crazieness is to get a new dummy, which the man does. However, Willie does not accept the replacement! This is a great one too but the ending doesn't really make sense. "The Fever" is by far the worst episode on the disk. It's about a man who doesn't enjoy gambling at all but while in Las Vegas a slot machine calls his name and then it seems he can never stop! The story was a little too limited for my liking and too unreal. After all, it's weird than the guy just started gambling after he hated it. Again, this is one of the best Volumes in the entire "Twilight Zone" set!

Three good, one fair episode

An elderly couple wins a contest for 3 days in Las Vegas, though the man morally hates gambling - at first, then he gets "the Fever".

In "Dummy", ventriloquist Cliff Robertson and his side-kick change places.

In "The After Hours", Anne Francis has a hard time finding good assistance in a department store.

In "Living Doll", Telly Savalas argues with a back-talking doll.
