You wouldn’t believe what point in time it picks him up! (And yes, no one can believe he survived 3 years at sea nor his prediction about what’s about to happen.)
Anyway, to actually tie back to the original poster. After the Lusitania sinks, his lifeboat is spotted by the … dun dun dun … Andrea Doria
Watch Mojo’s Top 10 Creepiest Moments (with a spoiler alert)
Lots of spine-tingling moments there. They named a few of my favorites that I’ve already talked about, but agree with The Midnight Sun, Little Girl Lost, Night Call. (all 3 are favorites to boot)
The Hitchhiker is really good, though I have a bit of a problem with the narration. It over explained the obvious for me. I’d have rather it just allowed the actress to convey her concern through body language and expression, without the aid of voice over. Kind of undercuts the creepy, just a shade.
On a microscopic piece of sand that floats through space is a fragment of a man’s life. Left to rust is the place he lived in and the machines he used. Without use, they will disintegrate from the wind and the sand and the years that act upon them. All of Mr. Corry’s machines, including the one made in his image, kept alive by love, but now obsolete—in The Twilight Zone.
There’s also a hint, just based on what Corry says at the end, that he’s going to murder the Captain for killing the android. (I saw this one not too long ago.)
I have seen the Talky Tina episode many times, and it still scares the bejeesus out of me, more than any other in the series. Something about creepy dolls just unsettles me.
To be fair to you, Night Gallery segments written by Rod Serling basically areTwilight Zone in color. He has a very distinctive voice to his writing. “Class of ‘99” and “Midnight Never Ends” (to name two S2 episodes I’ve watched recently) both scream Twilight Zone.
