I can't wait for this.
Looks like it'll be an import job but worth it.

All we need now is Seasons 2 and 3 plus Twilight Zone - The Movie.

anyone else think the 1980s Twilight Zone rules
and is superior to the 1950s/60s original??

as for the current incarnation - pure dog anus juice

shatterday made me what I am.

kinda crazy really. Undiagnosed.

will we be able to by these precious items in the shops?


I *heart* the episodes from the 80's they were the ones we grew up watching!(pete did you grow up in the 50's 60's?)
 
ah here now the originals were shown on TV in the 70's & 80's before the movie and the 80's series were made
 
When I was about 8 I saw this weird program and it scared the crap out of me. The premise was basically that one morning a family woke up and they couldnt get out of their house. It was surrounded by some impenetrable wall. At one point the kid tried to squeeze out between the mysterious wall and the house but couldnt fit and had to come back. Now my memory is sketchy, but I also remember that the house started to fill up with blood (or some red liquid) which was gushing around the kitchen. And everyone was standing on the worktop in terror. I think it turned out that there was a dolls house upstairs which was acting like kind of voodoo doll of the main house and somebody had put a box over it or something.


Anyone know what im talking about? Is it an episode of Twilight Zone?

I'd love to see this again but I don't have a clue what it is.

The House That Bled to Death - One of the episodes of The Hammer House Of Horror.

Ah, the memories.
 
You're 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.

you're on a scenic route through a state recreation known as "the human mind." You ask a passer-by for directions, only to find he has no face or something. Suddenly up ahead, a door in the road. You swerve, narrowly avoiding The Scary Door.
 
Harlan Ellison wrote a bunch of the 80s Twilight zone episodes (including Shatterday). He is the man. I love Harlan Ellison. Especially his non-fiction TV and Film criticism stuff. Anyone know if he is still alive? I heard he was really ill a few years ago. Anyone know what I am talking about?

twilight zone, hammerhouse, what other ones are there?

there was also tales of the unexpected and tales from the darkside

tales from the darkside.. i think there was a 90's version of this, but the 80's one was class. really disturbing
the only episode i can really remember clearly was one about a guy who's terminally ill that manages that upload his soul to a bbc micro

alfred hitchcock present's... the 80's one was pretty cool. was always on really late and i used to get my ma to tape it for me

and then outer limits. the 90's version was shit, but the 60's one was deadly

memories of that have plagued me since i was a young lad!!
nobody i've ever talked to about that has ever know what i was talking about!!!

FancyGoods said:
nah thats not it but its similar.
In the one Im talking about the people couldn't get out of the house.
maybe im confusing two different shows. so forget about the blood, the one with the house being blocked in

i deffo think it was an episode of hammer house..
was there something to do with it being some giant alien keeping them in the doll house?
i think they might have released it as a full length film too
 
i've seen it too - it was definitely a movie. it was discussed here before.

I think andy knows the name.
 
thats funny 'cause I know just one single other person who said they've have eerie memories of this too when I mentioned it to them.
