I tried to find an old thread to bump because do we need 200 Twilight Zone threads on Datalounge? No. But they were all closed. So I made this thread. I’m watching the bomb shelter episode where the neighbors go crazy fighting each other and I recognized the “outdoor” scenes are set in the same town as the one where the married couple is kept captive by the giant alien girl. I was wondering - did The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street take place on the same set? And the nursing home episode where they turn back into little kids? And the episode where the car comes back to haunt the guy who hit and ran a young boy?

Go take a long dip in the bewitchin' pool and drown, OP! The pool is probably in the same neighborhood too.

Watch episode titled "The Midnight Sun". I remember that one, especially now with global warming.

It has a twist ending worthy of M. Night Shyamalan. No spoiler from me!

The series used the Universal and MGM backlots for many town/neighborhood episodes, if I’m not mistaken.

I just saw this last night. If I'm not mistaken, but the bomb shelter episode OP is referring to takes place in the Bewitched house. Well, at least the exterior shots. A bit more shrubbery in front of it, but the bay window is unmistakable. Backlot houses were used over and over throughout the decades. So many "downtown" and "New York City" locations were the same backlot of Brooklyn-style row houses. There was a lot of overlap between Mayberry locations and The Twilight Zone as well.

There was also a “living room” in many of these houses that had a large center wall opening onto a front hallway with of a stairway and front door and sometimes another room was visible beyond the hallway. Sometimes these room openings had curtains hanging on either side of them, especially in Alfred Hitchcock Presents
This is the room in Ring a Ding Girl. In this show there’s a wall beyond the stairway with a table and a painting, but in some shows the wall is removed and there’s a room

The one that always gets me is "To Serve Man." With all this talk of UFOs recently, that episode left me with no appetite for meeting aliens!

I've been watching the 4th season for the first time recently. It seems like the writers really didn't know what to do with the hour long format so most episodes just feel padded. I did like "Jess-Belle" though. About a Southern girl who gets a love potion from a witch only to become one herself, "give him a witch's love!"

Wasn't that an "Outer Limits" episode?

Gorgeous young blonde stud Robert Redford and great Gladys Cooper in "Nothing In The Dark".
Robert Redford did quite a lot of television early in his acting career. Twilight Zone, Naked City, etc...

Gladys Cooper starred in another Twilight Zone episode called "Night Call". It scarred the shit out of me as a kid, and still does today.
First time saw it was a young kid home alone in a big house as everyone went out for the night. So settled down with some snacks and watched television, big mistake..... After watching "Night Call" on Twilight Zone was too scarred to go to bed.

R7 Somebody put together a Youtube video of all the movie scenes in which the Auntie Mame staircase appeared.

I posted R23 a couple of hours ago. I just went over to Youtube, and about a third of the suggested videos concerned stairways.
How does this happen?

Have the answer: I searched for the Auntie Mame Staircase on Youtube.

R24 Say hello to Mr. Algorithm! At least you didn’t end up with a page full of Mame videos.

Come to think of it, that IS weird. Not a single Mame video. Just a bunch of staircase videos.
Staircase Shuttering. Spiral Staircase. Duplex House Inside Staircase. Staircase Design in Small Area. How to Build Stairs. Floating Staircase Construction. Building Shelves under the Staircase.

That’s because they can sell you staircases. They can’t even give away Lucy Mame.
