I'm interested in your opinion of that episode. I'd seen the original episode so the TZ movie remake seemed terribly overdone.
I saw the TZ movie before I had ever seen any of the TV shows, so I saw the John Lithgow version first. It was overdone (most of the whole movie was). The fact that the old show was in black and white added to the noir-like quality and made the stories more spooky and creepy than scary (blood and guts scary, that is). John Lithgow did a terrific job, but I prefer the Shatner version.
I haven't seen many Alfred Hitchcock Presents. For some reason, I always thought the Twilight Zone presented stories more with a message than Alfred Hitchcock or the Outer Limits. Now I'm not really sure. Twilight Zone had its share of poorer episodes too.
Hitchcock's goal, IMO, was to scare the Dickens out of the viewer. In that respect he suceeded so well with me that I stopped watching the show.
Now, that I've had my coffee, I remember more about that episode with the twins. Two sisters arguing over a man and at the end the man shows up for the date and you realize she was talking to herself in the mirror. Hmmmm. I think I have a deep seeded fear of going crazy. Maybe I should talk to a therapist about that.
Or not.
