remember that twilight zone episode where the shady gambler dies and thinks he's gone to heaven because he's winning all the time and is flush with cash and such but then he figures out winning all the time can get boring and realizes he's in hell isn't that still a pretty good deal, he could still have sex with beautiful women or eat delicious food or do drugs or read good books or w/e it really stretched the limits of believability imo

If you're really good at something it's basically like being in hell.

He wasn't a shady gambler he was a murdering gangster. Learn your Twilight Zone canon.

there was also that episode where the old redneck dies with his dog but when he gets to heaven the angel is like "hey we won't let your dog in sorry" and he says he'd never enter heaven without his good friend, and then the guy was like "fine i'll sneak him in" and he goes "not good enough, either honor my dog or not at all" and then just fucks off and then later he meets another guy who is like "oh hey jed i'm glad i caught up with you, i'm an angel, the devil is going around pretending to be an angel and letting people in heaven but it's a trick and it's actually hell" and the redneck is relieved but then asks if his dog can come with to real heaven, and the angel is like "of course! we just started up the daily raccoon hunt!" or whatever basically i'm saying people only remember the good ones

I binge-watched a bunch of twilight zone last time I was sick and the only one I remember was the one with the tiny wind-up alien robots that come out of a UFO and terrorize that poor lonely woman in a farmhouse, where the big reveal was that they were normal human astronauts and she was just a mad huge alien all along

Tales From The Darkside "Halloween Candy" A midget in a troll costume traps a mean old man in night time forever or at least until his son comes to check on him and finds out he's been turned into grandpa jerky and is probably being eaten by bugs and poo poo. 10/10

Glasses apocalypse doesn't make sense also because it's not like dude had the only pair of glasses in world. Just stumble over into a glasses place and get another pair that are close enough to your prescription. ed: I like the one where some guys rob fort Knox or something, and freeze themselves so they'll wake up in the future when nobody will be after them, but it fucks up and they sleep too long so now they're in a desert. They turn on each other and the last guy finds a couple in a hovercar right before dying and they're like, "haha why was this guy carrying around a worthless bar of gold, poo poo's easy to synthesize" Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Dec 16, 2014 |

I like the one where Dennis Hopper is haunted by the ghost of Hitler. Although I'm not sure why the episode tried to make it seem like HITLER was a big reveal when it was obviously him all along.
