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.

You've convinced me to give the Outer Limits another look as a critical adult off the strength of this post. Good looks.:ehh:

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.

Thriller is my shyt. I stumbled on a full series DVD set at a drug store a few years ago for $5 and snatched it right up based off the strength of Boris Karloff. The first season was more noir than scary, those wife kills husband mystery type stories, but that second season is almost perfect in my eyes. I pull it out every single Halloween. That creepy atmosphere and direction is on a whole other level. Visually it's one of my favorites too, something about the black and white capturing the shadows and those big old castles/houses/crypts do it for me in a way that modern horror can't replicate.

Goosebumps episode with the Piano is the only episode in the genre ever to make me feel some type of way. I was surprised. I seen bits of all the other ones and none of em ever phased me.
