Trivia: The lady patient when revealed is played by the actress who plays Elly May on The Beverly Hillbillies. Good job again on yours and your filmmaking groups recreation of this! Also Yeahhh 10K subs! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thanks for the continuous fun, entertainment, kindness and knowledge to all of us and myself! Keep it up! Love ya Aves! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
This episode is an amazing example of biting criticism of modern society's obsession with beauty standards but also how it uses those beauty standards to justify atrocities against people who don't meet them. Side note: Your short was so good! And your acting was amazing!
Every year on New Years they do a Twilight Zone marathon, can’t recall the channel but that’s been my tradition regardless of channel. Every character, every line, every moral, every eerie feeling stays with you. The most quotable lines in horror history if not cinema history belong here, it’s referenced in everything. Actually the thing I recall it being referenced in the most is animated media, which side note would love to see you or anyone cover the animated Beetlejuice show from Canada!
There’s also an annual “Twilight Zone” marathon that happens every year on Thanksgiving. It used to play on channel 5, the CW, but I don’t know if it stills nowadays 😮 Also, I LOVE the Beetlejuice cartoon ❤
Mentioning “nonconforming beauty” or however you phrased it made me think of two things. One there was a book I read; I think in High School, that had an exact opposite take while trying to accomplish the same thing. I can’t remember who wrote it, but essentially the more homely a person looked the less amount of “handicaps” they’d have. The handicaps seemed to be described as just putting more clothes or things that would hide someone’s beauty. I believe it also involved things like helmets or big glasses. I believe part of the plot had a dancer or ballerina take off all her handicaps so she could perform better. Two, there was another episode of Twilight Zone that dealt with beauty where a woman didn’t want to conform, but she was given a drug or something to change her mind. What stuck out to me was the plastic surgeon in the episode. I too loved Twilight Zone, but it was one I missed growing up. I finally saw it soon after the Austin Powers movie came out. I remember thinking it was funny the plastic surgeon kept doing the same thing with his pinky that Dr Evil does but more as an unconscious habit instead of when he’s making a point.
You should cover the episode with Burgess Meredith. It's my families favorite episode besides the gremlin on a plane💜Please tell me where you got your Doctor Wheel sticker. Its absolutely gorgeous
Which one? Burgess Meredith was in like four episodes, and at least two of them are among the best episodes of television ever made (Time Enough At Last and The Obsolete Man)
Twilight Zone wasn't just entertainment...it was an education of society during that time. Episode lesson is eye of the Beholder...what is 'ugly' to one person can be 'beautiful' to someone else.
So glad to see you still doing Twilight Zone videos! It's like my favourite show of all time as well, and I've had a great time reliving it through you
First off, in honor of you reaching 10k subscribers, I want to say how much I appreciate you and everything you do. Appropriately enough, I first discovered your channel when I randomly did a youtube search looking for people sharing their opinions on episodes of the original Twilight Zone and your videos were among the first that showed up. As for this video in particular, when I think of The Twilight Zone and commentary about beauty standards, my mind tends to drift more towards "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" from season 5. It's also about a young woman trapped in a conformist dystopia, but I love how the heroine in that episode is completely accepting of her individuality and how she looks (unlike Ms. Tyler in "Eye of the Beholder", who hated looking different from the rest), which just makes it all the more sad and horrifying in the end when she has to literally be forced to get surgery so that she may become "beautiful".
Truly, this is one episode of Twilight Zone you do not want to spoil for the oblivious. I had the pleasure of watching this as a kid without having it spoiled for me ahead of time, and my reaction was adrenaline-surging when they revealed the doctor's face the first time. Like, I screamed a little. It was amazing and how this episode should be experienced.
I enjoyed your remake so much because it was so well done. I've seen this episode so many times--it was one of the first I saw when I was a kid. It's one I think about a lot too because if this is a world where the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" also exists then there's hope for it. There are people frustrated with the status quo and one way or another that leader's reign is going to end. Obviously it shouldn't be the way it is now and change won't be easy--there will also be some serious, maybe even violent pushback--but a better world is possible. Even in The Twilight Zone.
I grew up watching Twilight Zone, and I remember watching this episode with my aunt as a kid. I was afraid of what that woman would look like without the bandages, and it threw me for a loop.
Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! I love how, while you can easily guess the twist due to everyone's face being hidden in shadow, the reveal still is extremely affective. We tend to think that there is only one way to be conventionally attractive, yet beauty standards have changed so many times throughout the years. In one decade, the standard is pale skin and larger bodies. The next, it's bronze tans and being as thin as possible. We should all be kinder to our bodies and just focus on trying to be healthy and happy. There is enough to worry about without stressing about our nose being slightly too large or our legs not having a thigh gap.
Yes, congrats on 10k, Avery! I've seen some of the films you guys have made on the SeldomScience channel. I like them, they're very quirky. My favourite was when you and your friend were spies and you were bickering about being 2 minutes late lol. Also enjoyed The Room Mate and Christmas Carol ones too!
I never actually watched this episode, thinking I had seen every episode (besides almost all of the war episodes.) The Number 12 Looks Just Like You is the beauty standard episode of The Twilight Zone that I have enjoyed the most. This one reminds me of the running gag that The Munsters had saying that Marilyn was hideous.
This is a great video! Congrats with the episode tribute! This episode of The Twilight Zone is one of the Best. I will have to check out the HTL show one of these days. 👍🏾👍🏾
Congrats on 10k subs, Avery! As of late, I'm like struggling on what to watch from my AUS TV shows & movies journey with stuff leaving, taken down, blocked from streaming because reasons or YT being annoying to deal with copyright & also games on the Switch that i haven't done much or finished. Most recent was watching the 2nd Chance movies, ABC ME being good with EP 1 of The Spooky Files & Planet Lulin on YT not restricted, EPs of Castaway on EPs for the most part, among other good & bad things happening with my playlists of mostly popular, obscure & lost media in Australia.
Congrats on hitting 10,000 subs!!! Would love to see you do a compare and contrast with the OG version and the version in the 2003 revival. Apparently the latter is more based of the original script.
First off, YAH!!! Congratulations on the 10k subscribers, more people should enjoy your channel 😊 Second, it’s ironic that the theme of this episode is the very bases of “Beauty & the Beast,” my favorite fairytale, and yet I ALWAYS get creeped out by this episode 😅 It straight up terrified me as a kid to the point I would always close my eyes whenever this one was slated to air 😢 (Third, is there anything specific you plan to watch & post for Valentine’s Day 😃)
I have a Twilight Zone episode that you'd like and should recreate. It's called "Evergreen" and it stars Amber Tamblyn and was the debut episode of the 2002 revival. Amber Tamblyn plays a rebellious gothic teen whose family move to a special neighborhood for rebellious teens. She soon realizes that teens who don't cooperate are turned into fertilizer.
I haven't watched this episode since middle school and I definitely did not really pay attention to the dystopian society aspect of this. How did I miss that??
Also wherever you live just has more love for movies then New Jersey. Every time I have ever wanted to make a movie I would run all over putting up flyers and asking people and NONE of them were ever interested. When I took classes on the subject they also never had the resources. There is no place where you can buy or rent costumes and props, no sets to rent, no one who teaches or knows how to build props or do make up (that make up was Prety far from pig. Gets the point across but lacks impact) I have never ONCE gotten any one who can teach or be in a movie or to help me with any of my ideas. I have creativity but its ONLY me no one else. No friends, no family, no clubs, no schools. People's idea of "do a skit" was either Michel Jackson or Monty Python. No one here has a love for Vuadville or Anime or culture. A whole bunch of white people moon walking and doing the dead parrot sketch. There's no other ethnic groups , no imagination no passion. On the up side, if you can recreate movies this good, you can film your own material and avoid copywrite strikes. Just recreate ever Disney film, Nicktoon, Cartoon Network show, Super Hero story and episode of MLP with your own crew and TH-cam will NEVER be able to copy write strike your videos. You will OWN all YOUR footage. Just do like Jack Black in Be Kind Rewind and skip the movie clips.
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff You can't talk about The Twilight Zone without mentioning that episode. "That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was, was all the time I needed."
Still haven't properly watched the show; only seen a smattering of random episodes. Haven't seen this one yet; just watching as the twist was long since spoiled.
Not sure if you have an email or something for suggestions… but I have one that I just remembered. Have you ever heard of “Psalty the Sining song book?”
Say any thing you want about Beauty Standard, Make up and Hygiene companies and Health companies will still make shore you feel bad about Beauty Standard. Kids will do the same . Every one teases and points stuff out and bullies until you conform. Birth defects, learning disability, Religion are the three areas that TV refuses to touch on. The three areas you people constantly feel uncomfortable discussing, so you avoid it. Even Sexuality and personal Identity are not fully covered in LGBT you always tack on "and other" You also ignore a large number of life styles, jobs, ways of learning, hobbies, occupations there is a lot that's just not in the media. I feel like the world only sees certain things it wants to see.

Rod Serling was a WW2 veteran and the memories of the war and of Nazis were still fresh in many people's minds in the 1960s.

It started on Scifi (before it became Syfy), but became enough of an established thing that Pluto TV has one now

Ooh, you're talking about Harrison Bergeron! It was a short story by Kurt Vonnegut. It's one of my favorites actually!

@@gingergoddess8953 the one where he's the only one left on earth and wants to read but his glasses break
Burgess Meredith did four episodes and they were all great!
That's Time Enough at Last, I think @@jamesnelson6656
This was the first episode of Twilight Zone that I ever saw 😂 I was immediately hooked. Thank you so much for covering this and HAPPY 10K OMG,!!!!!

One thing that always amused me was that the actress who plays Janet Tyler is also Ellie May Clampett in Beverley Hillbillies.

Rod Serling is amazing and he tried to warn us.
Agreed
Rod Serling was a teenager/young adult during WWII...it makes a lot of sense that Hitler had a profound impact on his anti-fascist viewpoints.
Ah! ah! He said the title...
I haven't watched this episode since middle school and I definitely did not really pay attention to the dystopian society aspect of this. How did I miss that??
I definitely didn't think about it until I got older 👀

Thank you! Not yet but I want to!
@@AveryTalksAboutStuff cool.
My bi meter is going off the charts
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
The bigger question is how have they tried like three times and failed to change literally anything about her face?
Have you done "Enough Time at Last" yet? I just started watching your videos back in December, so I don't know what all you've covered so far.
Not yet but that's a great one so I will!

I layered liquid latex, tissue paper, concealer and fake blood to give them a zombie look.
