The Twilight Zone | “The After Hours,” 1x34, 1960

Express elevator to the ninth floor of a department store, carrying Miss Marsha White on a most prosaic, ordinary, run-of-the-mill errand.

Miss Marsha White on the ninth floor, specialty department, looking for a gold thimble. The odds are that she’ll find it - but there are even better odds that she’ll find something else, because this isn’t just a department store. This happens to be the Twilight Zone.

“Number Twelve Looks Just Like You,” The Twilight Zone (1964)

In the near future, crossing into adulthood means undergoing a process called “the Transformation,” a total physical, mental and emotional metamorphosis into one of a dozen prototypes, for the purpose of social harmony. Marilyn Cuberle likes herself just the way she is: conventionally unattractive, intellectually curious, and wholly different. Convinced the Transformation will rob her not only of her body but of her love of learning, Marilyn, completely alone, struggles to resist intense pressure from her family and friends.

The people you’ve just seen have suddenly been handed a death sentence. One month ago the earth suddenly changed its elliptical orbit, and in doing so began to follow a path which gradually, moment by moment, day by day, took it closer to the sun. And all of man’s little devices to stir up the air are now no longer luxuries. They happen to be pitiful and panicky keys to survival. 

“The Midnight Sun,” The Twilight Zone (1962)

Norma and Mrs. Bronson, the two last tenants in a deserted apartment building in pre-apocalyptic New York City, wait together for the inevitable end. Each day is hotter and hotter, each day Mrs. Bronson’s grip on sanity becomes a little looser, each day they become more vulnerable to desperate looters - and Norma’s oil paintings are beginning to melt. 

“Long Distance Call,” The Twilight Zone (1961)

Billy’s grandmother, whose affection for her grandson borders on the unhealthy and obsessive, gives him a toy telephone as a birthday gift just before she dies. After her death, Billy uses the telephone to pretend to speak to Grandma. Only, as it turns out, Grandma’s actually on the other end of the line, and she’s telling Billy that she wants him to kill himself and join her.

Jerry Harlowe: I told you we’d pay for the damages, Bill.

Dr. Bill Stockton: Damages? I wonder. I wonder if any one of us has any idea what those damages really are. Maybe one of them is finding out what we’re really like when we’re normal — the kind of people we are just underneath the skin. I mean all of us. A lot of naked, wild animals who put such a price on staying alive that they’ll claw their neighbors to death just for the privilege.
