Twilight Zone Vs. Outer Limits Vs. Alfred Hitchcock Vs. Tales From the Crypt Who had better stories?

[JoseLuisGotcha]

This is dating me a bit but i remember watching all of these on television

Twilight Zone is probably the most popular choice but I actually enjoyed the outer limits series the best the one episode that fukked me up the most was one where like 4 people were in underground bunkers around the word and communicated through TV. They were had a button to fire nuclear weapons because of a pending alien attack/apocalypse.....shyt was crazy...

Hitchcock had some classic episodes too...

Tales from the crypt is my wildcard not so much sci-fi as the other choices for the stories were mind fukks for the most part...

so who you got as the GOAT story teller?

Twilight Zone. The rest of them were just retelling those OG TZ stories with an updated look, with the minor exception of Hitchcock who had some original stuff of his own, but even he bit. Rod Sterling was king.

Without twilight there would be no outer, funny thing is I preferred the 90s reboot to the both the original TZ/OL. TOTC was the shyt too never watched hitchocks show so i cant speeak on that

TFTC, no debating.
each episode had me as a youngin'. . .

 

[blazn101]

Twilight Zone, but Hitchcock Presents had some great stories that could have been movies..

 

[Methodical]

Original Twilight Zone hands down. I liked Hitchcock Presents, Tales From the Crypt, Goosebumps though but Twilight Zone had me .

My pop has The Outer Limit DVDs collection, some episodes are good but he loves Twilight Zone the best.

 

[Monoblock]

Twilight Zone is the OG and undisputed champ.

 

[Jules Washington]

I don't give a fukk and I know I will catch hell for this, but the Outer Limits 1963 series shyts on all of those shows (Twilight Zone is close second though)

The Outer Limits 1963 series was a complex, scorching criticism of Cold War propaganda, American nationalism, and anti-black racism; it presented mesmerizing narratives that challenged the socioeconomic conditions of people across the world as globalism continued to rapidly spread...

The show was soooooo ahead of its time...no better example exists than in the episode, A Feasibility Study, which was a criticism of slavery and agricultural capitalism; its about a bunch of people, taken from Earth to work slave labor on another planet; they develop a collective form of resistance against oppression and win against their slave masters...its such a powerful fukking episode, I showed it to my students when I taught high school every year and the kids loved it...

I can go on and on about how powerful the Outer Limits 1963 series was, but you all need to watch it critically.

All of these were good series. Why you gotta make a nikka choose?

Twilight Zone is the OG series... made all the others possible/influenced all of them. Biggest collection of material too, if I'm not mistaken. I gotta go with TZ.

Fact or fiction was pretty good

 

[robb]

say man no Tales from the Darkside?
Or Monsters?

TZ hands down..but tthe outer limits OG was spectacular in its own right..

Also, Thriller (hosted by Boris Karloff) had some brilliant stories and directing.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

say man no Tales from the Darkside?
Or Monsters?

they were entertaining but not in the same container as the great 60's TV shows.

The UK had some fanstastic anthology tv series that i love; hammer house of horror, supernatural (1974) and tales from the unexpected.
