Remember the Twilight Zone episode where the screen went black before the episode ended and all my lights turned off. The plot twist was I forgot to pay my electric bill. Spooky
Scary stuff
Jesus christ man, don't scare me like that
Hi Cody 👋
Deities aren't supposed to have electric bills...
You aren't real Alt Hist Cody can't hurt us.
You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into *The Tylight Zone*
...or North Korea!
@Alex Ramsey Kim Jong Undead?
I didnt know you were a fan of the Twilight movie, a true man of culture 😏
Hey look, a dead man walking
You've just crossed over into Ohio
The other crazy thing about the twilight zone that wasnt mentioned its that most episodes were made with a super cheap budget because they got very restricted
So Rod Serling wrote went ahead and wrote some excellent episodes that only took place in a single room or didnt include any crazy expensive ideas that are now considered classics, this man could literally make gold out of thin air
Plus, being an anthology, sets couldn’t be reused between episodes. While your average show can spend more money on the five different sets that they had, The Twilight Zone had to build an air force base one week, a world war 2 reenactment the next, and an alien landing the week after.
@@charlesevanshughes3638 It's not difficult to film on a budget if you were filming at a large studio. Studios had multiple productions at once and a lot of shows will buy or borrow props from movies that finished and use what ever the backlot was dressed up as. For example if there was a big military picture then it wouldn't be hard for Rod to get his hands on some ready made sets and props for his show.
As someone who lives in Ohio. I can confirm that we are the Twilight Zone. I sometimes notice that my brothers are aliens and then I get thrown into a fire erasing my existence from this earth but then I always remember and try to strike back in a neverending loop of suffering. I obviously broke the loop now tho.
Yes. But what are the manikins like out that way?
@@cocoabutt1711 Are you trying to spell mannequin, or something else? I am not putting you down. I am just asking,cause it is a hard word to spell.
@@strangerinwhite Blame Google (I used it as my spell checker).
HOW DID YOU BREAK THE LOOP THATS IMPOSSIBLE
John Wick fortenite will ultimately destroy puny Ohio. Take this L dance kid skull trooper is on his way, you have no chance. They are opening up a portal to the Dark Aether, not even Richthofen can stop it. We will destroy both optimus and primus. The zombies hunger for flesh, your time bbn y human existence will be you're undoing djrrehrwrfhh
_"Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the right of man, and the state is obsolete."_
*~ Rod Sterling*
My favorite episode, "The Obsolete Man."
any state as long as its ohio
People call me hittler and a terrorist, rod sterling gets it. I say do away with the idea of a country and money and let our species all together blast off ! Interstellar species, build ourselves up share technology. But I guess I’m a p.o.s what was I thinking wanting good for humans. I guess it’s ok if only Neil degrass Tyson says it.
Moral of the story: Mountain Dew is a crazy man with a tape recorder.
"In the '50's television was like a giant ad"
It still is...
hey kid, wanna buy some BRAIN POWER POWDER??
No that’s youtube. TV shows used to literal stop the shop and have the actors do an ad. They don’t do that on tv but they sure as fuck do it on every vid on TH-cam with those OH so zany segues into this videos sponsor.
@@Jayfive276 Still, the TV commercials also appeared in TH-cam ads as well. It's no different considering that repetitive commercials wanted to mess with you to buy their products and we have a right to buy anything WHAT WE NEED, not shoving it right to our faces for the sake of profits. So that being said, Greed is one heck of a sin out of 7 deadly sins.
@@Jayfive276 Maybe they don't outright stop to make an ad, but the product placement definitely acts as constant visual advertisement.
Also, they don't only advertise products. Nowadays, advertising ideologies is VERY popular.
@@Jayfive276
Use adblocker, guy.
my favorite episode is the one where aliens invade a neighborhood and everyone suspects everyone else of being an alien until the whole streat is on fire and then you cut to the real aliens watching the whole thing happen and they're like "heh, humans are so predictable. they accuse each other of being what they fear most." or something like that.
there's also one where a guy and his dog die and they're wandering the afterlife and he finds an angel anf the angel is like "welcome to heaven, no dogs allowed tho" and they guy is like "get bent" and keeps walking with his dog and finds another angel and says "that's one hell of a place if you can't bring your dog" and the angel is like "bro, that IS hell. that other angel was a devil. let's go to the real heaven, where dogs are allowed btw"
That one about the dog is super smart. Pretty sure heaven with just humans would be a political hell of no escape.
I do blame y'all for not watching the Twilight Zone already. *The shit is timeless as infinity*
@Why Do I Even Look At The Comments if the allegories are so apparent it can hardly be considered outdated. I'm not exactly a history major myself.
True
It’s literally the fucking middle ground between light and shadow, what is wrong with people, do they have no taste
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.
The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror.
These are just examples; it could also be something much better.
Prepare to enter:
*The scary door*
Lmao
The Twilight Zone is between the Dawn Zone and the Dusk Zone.
Nah, it's between the Dusk Zone and Night Zone.
Isn't twilight after dusk? 😯🤯
@@clamum There's also a morning twilight before dawn.

My favorite episode was "eye of the beholder". No spoilers but that hands down was the craziest twist ending I've ever seen. This show really inspired me to think differently as a kid.
I think "Number 12 Looks Just like You" is spookier and has a similar theme.
@@Bacopa68 Agreed I was actually introduced to eye of the beholder and found the Twist way too predictable but I still gave the show a chance and it's great.
@@Cyber_Smoke how predictable? i really liked the twist. especially with how much of the internet loves beauty and bullies everyone the idea of things being relative to what is beautiful is an extremely potent and important ideal even today
Tyler: "Owl edge hub"
Me: "Have youtube captions somehow made their way into the audio now?"
"The Twilight Zone: A Zone of Twilight"
"People die when they are killed"
Justin....WHY?!
Justin "Y do I see you in literally every comment section."
It's the man!, the myth!, the LEGEND!!!
Wow
hello
I'm 25 and was introduced to this show as a small child and have been obsessed ever since. One of the Greatest tv shows in history
The slow degeneration of this channel is comparable to that of The Discovery Channel and The History Channel in all but one characteristic - I actually enjoy this one.
And I can be like taking a tab of Acid.
*Tyler is an alien? Tyler is an alien.*
*Aliens.*
Rod Serling was a genius
To me, this show is the scariest when it comes to atmosphere. There is no ghosts or Alien explanation as to what we are seeing, only that what we are seeing exists in a state of un-existence , a state so unreal the only thing comparable to it is the combination of reality and fiction, a state of twilight.
My parents showed me almost every episode when I was a kid growing up.
It absolutely holds up today and would probably hold up for the next hundred years based solely on the writing. It's that strong.
*"Ohio is the Twilight Zone."*
That line aged really well!
TLDR: Ohio is the twilight zone
As an Ohioan I can confirm that it certainly is the twilight zone
My favorite episode of the Twilight Zone: The Cleveland Browns live in hell.
Always has been
It would explain a lot actually
What are u guys talking about? Ohio doesn't exist
Man, I used to be obsessed with the classic Twilight Zone when I was a teen. Even made a few presentations in class about it, and a small website (long gone) while practicing html. Good times.
My mom owned all the episodes on VHS, I can't tell you how many times I've binged watched them
I'm very stoned right now, good timing.
*We had to act out "Murder on Maple Street" for our school.*
I went to a fun class.
The thing that fascinated me about Time Enough At Last is that that the episode made you really pity the character at the end even though he was only on screen for about 25 minutes or so.
In my family, we used to talk about this character all the time, especially because I was as much of a bookworm as he was. Truly one of the most tragic characters to ever be filmed for any show, movie or series.
I want to see an episode covering "Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" I enjoy your brand of humor
Oh god yes, I would love to hear his hilarious voice, phrasing, and pacing summarize the Peanuts.
The sad truth is that Charlie Brown was telling that story from a rehab facility 20 years after Linus froze to death in that field.
Or maybe the metaphysics of the Nightmare Before Christmas?
Fun fact: Rod loved to smoke 3-4 packs a day. Hell, he even plugged his favorite cigarettes on the show regularly. In front of lots of children. Ahhh the 60's!
*Fun Fact:* Rod Serling is also extremely imaginative. One time when he was a kid, he played the "pretending" game with two of his friends. When he got the "bad guy" role, his friend tried to shoot him with a gun, but Serling was protected by his "shield". Then, his other friend lassoed him, but he quickly escaped as he fell down the doortrap. They called him "The Impossibility".
Based
In some of the war episodes you could just feel Rod’s emotion being put into it, and even some of the WWII episodes felt personal considering he suffered from crazy bad PTSD because of involvement in the invasion of the Philippines.
Yo, if you kids like playing Among Us, you're gonna love "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street"
when i was younger i honestly thought The Twilight Zone and Twilight were the same thing
Wait what 60 years old. I was watching it like a year ago and i thought it had recently come out but it had a weird style
Would be cool to see a concept like that, but no, The Twighlight Zone is really so old that it's not in color.
His synopsis of the Twilight Zone episodes simultaneously bother me and entertain me. I love it.
It is my opinion that without The Twilight Zone, there would be no SCP.
"The Twilight Zone: A Zone of Twilight"
"Every 60 seconds, a minute passes in Africa"
Me: W-wait Ohio is the twilight zone?
Rod: always has been.

In summary, rod serling was brilliant man for creating the twilight zone anthology.
The twilight zone is America. Thank you for talking about the midnight sun, it’s my favorite episode because of its message
The mesage being that "global warming is a fever dream"
I’ve watched every episode multiple times. It’s my favorite tv show ever.
I've actually seen a lot more of The Twilight Zone than I'd realized, even though it existed long before I was born. I recognized about half of the episodes referenced.
Although it's so old, I saw some reruns that were still airing on Nick at Nite when I was a kid.
I always thought it was a shame when Nick at Nite started cycling out the 50s and 60s shows to make room for the newest reruns that they could get for cheap. I mean, who cares about Mister Ed, but classics like The Twilight Zone are worth remembering.
But I guess you're right about cultural relevance - it's tough to maintain it for that long, even with good writing.
The Twilight Zone is probably an inspiration of the Creepypasta community today.
The difference between The Twilight Zone and the creepypasta stories is that they both have different aspects.
The Twilight Zone is supernatural and science fiction with a twist that questions our humanity through moral dilemmas and emotional horrors; like what would you do when your greatest fear come out to confront you.
Creepypastas, in the other hand, is horror with a twist that contains some mild to extreme grim context and scary monsters that will haunt you down forever. It's not only that make you scared, but also the ambiguity and the unreliable narrative is what makes the story terrifying to the extent of questioning yourself if anything is real or not.
@Friendship
Honestly, they’re both born of the same place, but it’s not quite a lineage from Twilight to Creepy Pasta. They’re more like cousins with one being older then the other.
What’s really interesting is what phenomena will culturally “replace,” creepypasta as the media for weirdness.
Creepypasta is closer to Goosebumps, iirc.
To Serve Mankind
It was called "It's a good life"
@@PvblivsAelivs oh okay, thanks.
Grew up watching Twilight Zone and the outer limits as a kid.
and some other weird shows I don't remember.
Tyler is actually in the Twilight Zone and that's why some episodes seem normal and others seem like a cry for help
My favorite one is when they land on some planet with a bunch of people. Except none of the people move. Nobody. Then one guy can move, and this guy laughs and the characters are all frozen in place just like everybody else. Good episode
I’ve seen some of the episodes you use as footage and the context makes them so much funnier
Me while watching any episode of KnowledgeHub: "I like your funny words magic man"
Exposition
*shows Speedwagon*
Mmm yesh quite bizzare
I felt so bad for the reading guy. Most people on the show were kinda bad people and got their comeuppance, but sometimes, like in the case of the bank teller and the woman on a doomed earth, did nothing wrong at all.
Everything after 2008 is a Twilight Zone.
Me a 2008 Born
When the guy drops his glasses, if you don't feel that pain, you have no heart.
Anyone else start to think of The Man in the High Castle, where they started filming their own Nazi version of the Twilight Zone called Tales From the High Castle to show people what a world where the Allies won would be like (but in a propagandized, negative tone)?
The Man in the High Castle is well written and interesting but I could never get past the strategic impossibility of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan winning the war.

@@futurestoryteller even if you dropped a nuke on DC that doesnt give you automatic political and military control of North America. The Kreigsmarine couldn't even land troops on British soil and you expect me to believe they executed a successful naval invasion of the United States, the same United States rapidly becoming known for its massive technologically and strategically advanced naval fleet? You cant invade the largest nation in the world with U-Boats and AmerikaBombers. And what the fuck does the president dying have to do with anything? We'd have just elected a new one, unlike Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, and Japan, our war effort wasnt being driven and directed by a cult of personality surrounding one man. FDR was rather monolithic, but the death of a president does not mean the death of the Republic. Even if they had managed to occupy a tiny portion of America they would rapidly find that occupying a heavily armed populace with strong rebel and outlaw culture is not anything at all like the occupation of France or Austria, and they would eventually be forced out like the Soviets in Afghanistan. All of these points are of course entirely meaningless as the real problem with Germany winning is the simple existence of the USSR. Nazi Germany was not under any circumstances going to occupy russian land for any extended period nor did they hace any chance of holding back the red tide. Germany was suffering from oil shortages from the onset of the war, and was suffering major manpower shortages by the battle of Kursk. Now lets take a look at the Pacific theatre. Japan never had a sliver of a chance. Much like their ally, Japan was suffering major oil shortages from the onset of the war. Their infantry forces were not fully modernized and their Navy was still unready. The necessity of feeding men and resources into the inexhaustible meat grinder that was China only made the situation worse. Every ship that Japan lost was irreplaceable, whereas every ship the US lost was rapidly replaced by west coast shipyards that only increased production as the years went by. At the end of the day, the Axis without Russia was a loose union of overconfident upstarts, against the worlds largest naval empire, the most populous nation in Europe, and a rapidly rising superpower with unparalleled production capacity and one of the most modern fighting forces in the world. Basically, they never could have won. Ever. Period. Allied history books and media like to big up the axis to make our accomplishment seem more impressive, but the truth is when looking at the big picture it was like the football team ganging up on three scrawny nerds.
@@the-letter_s welcome back, to the *Zion Zone*
Oy Vey
Said before: There is only ONE Twilight, and it's a ZONE.
I’m still sad about the Tower of Terror being rethemed.
And I’ve been meaning to binge watch the original on Netflix but never got around to it.
I absolutely love The Twilight Zone. I've seen every episode (even those hour-long Season 4 eps that are never on streaming). My favorite is Nothing in the Dark, which really taught me the ridiculousness of humanity's irrational fear of death.
The outer limits was good. That's about as old as The Twilight zone.
Watching Tyler talking about Twilight zone is like watching two incomprehensible concepts duke it out.
Well, we do know of two entrances to the Twilight Zone: The Tower of Terrors at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida and Walt Disney Studios park in France.

The Twilight Zone is one of the greatest shows ever, and is in my top three favorites. I tried watching Black Mirror when it came out, and I just couldn't get into it. The episodes I watched felt way too long for being long's sake, and were pretty lackluster overall. I have yet to watch Bandersnatch or whatever it's called. Perhaps that'll be much better, but Black Mirror just seems like a poor man's Twilight Zone to me.
Wow, it's amazing how wrong you are. But the first episode of Black Mirror in particular was terrible, almost convinced me not to watch it.
Black Mirror is more focused on the cautionary tale of technology with a dystopian tone. Twilight Zone has tons of stories to tell.
Black Mirror is a mixed bag, the production values are usually high, but the writing was rocky to begin with and only went downhill later on. I wouldnt call it a poor man's twilight zone (as Twilight Zone had a very limited budget) so much as I'd call it the rich man's Twilight Zone, highly polished but lacking substance.
crimson90 the episodes are very hit or miss. Some are excellent, others are boring.
Even your summaries of the episodes have me spooked. Yep, I'm that terrible with scary stuff.
In my opinion, the Twilight Zone is one of the greatest TV series ever put on the air and my personal favourite. Thank you so much for this review!
I love 4th of July. Not because of fireworks but because there's a Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy all day!
my favorite episode is "A Kind of Stopwatch"
A man who isn't well liked gets this stopwatch that when pressed freezes time. He uses it at work and a bar to impress the people there as in a "look what I can do" but realizes they don't remember any of it because they were frozen in time. So using this, he walks into a bank and presses the stopwatch and freezes time. He walks behind the counter and pulls out the cart of money from the safe but he drops his stopwatch and rolls over it with his cart effectively breaking it and making him stuck in time....forever
7:34 favorite twilight zone episode glad someone is talking about it.
I’ve been rewatching The Twilight Zone lately after showing my son the Simpsons Tree House of Horror version of To Serve Man. I have so many favourite episodes.
This has no right being this good
-Wait, the Twilight zone is Ohio?
-Always has been!
Best show ever. I've always loved watching it.
I once met a traveller from an antiqued land, he said:
Thank you, very cool
I binged all five seasons at the start of quarantine and honestly was shocked how many episodes hold up. Particularly how some of the best ones actually did not really enter the public consciousness (though of course many did).
This is taking me back to middle school when my friends and I would do Rod Serling impressions.
Yeah we weren't...we weren't the popular crowd.
@Why Do I Even Look At The Comments This was like 2014. Again, *not* popular....
God the Twilight Zone is such good shit. Twenty Two scared the fuck out of me as a kid and it’s still chilling every time I watch it. Same with the talking tina doll. That episode made me sleep bunched up in the corner of my bed so I could see every part of my room just to make sure she wasn’t gonna murder me
Three favorite episodes GO!:
Next Stop: Willoughby
The Masks
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street
Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up
Monsters are Due on Maple Street
A Nice Place to Visit
All this time I didn't realize how accurate a parody "The Scary Door" was
You put these out pretty fast and i like you and your takes. Keep it up man
As a massive Star Trek fan, I really need to watch the orginal Twillight Zone. It laid the groundwork for the orginal Star Trek show and a ton of actors like Shatner and Nimoy were in the Twilight Zone long before they were cast in TOS.
man, i really liked twilight zone, it would be real neat if they made a new one
They did, its not good.
Uh... they did?
@@ExtremeMadnessX my joke is that it was so bad that nobody cared and is already forgotten
They did like 3 times. There was an 80's show, a brief show in the early 2000's, and I haven't seen it but apparently CBS made a new series a year or two ago.
@@CssHDmonster Didn't watched yet, why it's considered "so bad" by some?
This video is literally the Rick and Morty interdimensional cable episode.
To be honest, if you want "Spooky," you need to look at the first iteration of "The Outer Limits." Their aim was: "In the final segment/quarter. "Booga Booga! Time to face the monster!";) Rod Serling's monsters were often the human kind, holding a mirror up to the audience. Now and then, Fate would smile upon the boffin, and things would "go North," as in "Night of the Meek." or "A World of Difference.";) Where is/was "The Twilight Zone?" It's an oasis, to eb found just outside "The Vast Wasteland" of 1950's TV.
I'm glad you mentioned it because The Outer Limits was also a great show.
The 90's remake wasn't half bad either but not as good as the original.
Also great is Rod Serling's Library of Congress interview with Foghorn Leghorn. It...escalates quickly after about 10 mins, but it's tragically relevant to today.
My dad was big into B horror and that sorta stuff when I was a kid. So I saw many of these when I was reallllyyy little. Freaky and the black 'n' white helped that. Not my thing really but I appreciate what it did.
Rod Serling is just the best.
if i have to hear every time you utter the word 'spooky' im becoming closer to the twilight zone.
Favourite episode: The Invaders. Every aspect of the production and story telling is totally timeless and holds up....except for the Invaders themselves which are very much a product of their time but adds a whole layer of charm to a legit creepy episode.
I actually really misread it in the notifications as "The hub a zone of twilight"
Thank you for talking about my favorite shows
Bloody love this show, thanks for featuring it.
The Twilight Zone happens every 24 hours on this planet we call Earth. It is in the sky every late afternoon-early evening. It isn't even spooky action at a distance, but up close and personal. Bet your sweet Quantum!
The original series is one of my favorite things. "Time Enough At Last" and "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" are a couple of my favorites off the top of my head. Due to rewatch the original series...
The new one on CBS All Access isn't terrible
The Twilight Zone. AKA the inspiration of half the segments of The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror.
One of my all time favorites is room 22 or the “room for one more honey” episode.
Look Tyler of Knowlegde Hub, you get a bunch of comments but if you happen to see mine, thank you for the video. I love what you do, I've been here since you changed your channel for the more regular stuffs you're interested in, instead of history and such. That being said, the history videos help me sleep. Thank you Tyler.
10:00 Deviantart waifu artists in a nutshell
Has Nixon from five at the beginning makes this the best video ever.
Midnight Sun is my favorite TZ episode. Great twist ending!
One of my favorite episode of "The Twilight Zone" is "The Mighty Casey" In it a man named Mouth McGarry is the manager of the Hoboken Zephyrs, a broken down Major League Baseball team in Hoboken, New Jersey. He is then approached by Dr. Stillman who has built a robot named Casey that can throw high speed fastballs, dizzying curveballs, and slowballs that can make a snail seem like a cheetah. Casey is signed to the team and the Zephyrs soar to 4th place. But then Casey is beaned by a batted ball and it is discovered that Casey is a robot and the the baseball commissioner is like "He's not human, therefore he can't play baseball" and the manager and owner are like 'How human do you want, he's got arms, legs, a face, and talks." but the baseball commissioner is like "He doesn't have a heart, therefore he is not human." Then Dr. Stillman says he provide Casey with a heart and the commissioner is like "Fine, I'll give him a temporary ok with a heart." Dr. Stillman gives Casey a heart but now Casey can't bring himself to strike out the batters on the other team, and the Zephyrs loose the National League Pennate. As a memento Dr. Stillman leaves McGarry the blueprints for Casey which gives McGarry the idea of rebuilding the team with a pitching staff of all robots, and takes the Zephyrs to the West Coast where he manages to win several pennants and a few World Series championships.
I am now thoroughly spooked. Thanks tyler
