Four short horrorific tales are anthologized in this film as a tribute to Rod Serling and his popular TV series. Director: Steven Spielberg, John Landis, George Miller, Joe Dante. Actors: Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Scatman Crothers, Donna Dixon, Charles Hallahan, John Lithgow, Kevin Mc Carthy, Douglas Mc Grath, Priscilla Pointer, Kathleen Quinlan, Evan Richards, Tanya Fenmore, Dick Miller, Patricia Barry. In this film adaptation of Rod Serling's classic sci-fi TV show, four eerie stories are presented, paying homage to the master. In the spine-chilling prologue, Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks are driving down a dark and winding road listening to "Midnight Special" at top volume when the tape suddenly cuts short and they are forced to find a new form of road-trip entertainment: scary stories. Suddenly the road trip isn't as fun anymore as the driver and the passenger try to outscare one another. In the first segment (directed by John Landis), a bitter and cynical racist receives a major dose of his own medicine. Steven Spielberg's segment is a retelling of the "Kick the Can" episode, in which a group of elderly people try to recapture their childhood. Joe Dante updates the classic episode that starred Billy Mumy as a monster who controls a small town. Finally, George Miller takes on the fabulous episode "Terror at 40,000 Feet," in which John Lithgow has a flight to remember. (The part was originally played to perfection by William Shatner on the television show.) Based on the popular television series, this film is a collection of four frightening tales of the supernatural, each by a different director--Joe Dante, Steven Spielberg, John Landis, and George Miller. The film opens with Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks as two hapless road-trippers who tell scary stories to pass the time. The four segments that follow include some updated re-creations of classic Twilight Zone episodes. Actor Vic Morrow and two Vietnamese child actors were killed during production of director John Landis's segment.
In the ending of Segment One, mention is made of Sgt. Niedermeyer getting "fragged by his troops." This is the same fate given to Niedermeyer in the ending of Landis's NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE.
Actress Donna Dixon (Segment Four) and Dan Aykroyd were married just prior to the film's release.
Directors John Landis and Joe Dante later each contributed segments to AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON.
Dan Aykroyd (Passenger) says to Albert Brooks (Driver): "Do you wanna see something really scary?" Twilight Zone: The Movie Reviews: "...[A] tantalizing teaser opening followed by three sketches of increasing quality..."

Twilight Zone: The Movie Video Twilight Zone: The Movie Movie Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   i love this movie
im so happy that this movie is finally available on dvd.....it is a fun film and the only reason some people don't like it is because of the tragedy of vic morrow and the two vietnamese children who were killed during the film's production......it is a pity because the first segment had so much potential but was never really finished properly and the audience will notice when they watch the film. The other segments are great except for kick the can directed by spielberg....it is really cheesy and just doesnt work well with this anthology but spielberg has always had his ups and downs in the directors chair anyway. the final segment is the best and worth the price of the dvd alone and dan akroyd gives a great spooky prologue for the film but i won't spoil it for you.

It's About Time!
It's about time that this finally got released to DVD. It was sad though that Vic Morrow lost his life in the production of this movie. He was a fine actor in his day. Still remember him well in the TV Series "Combat". I will be ordering this one SOON. Thanks CD Universe.

Based on both the short story by John W. Campbell, Jr. and the 1951 film produced by Howard Hawks, THE THING is John Carpenter's stunning masterpiece of horror. A group of weary scientists enduring the winter in an isolated camp deep in Antarctica chance upon an alien spacecraft buried in the ice. Near the strange craft is the body of an alien being, frozen solid. Thinking they have made the find of a lifetime, the scientists bring the alien body back to camp and thaw it out. The alien awakens, not in the best of moods, and proceeds to take over the identities of the scientists, one by one, body and all. Helicopter pilot MacCready (Kurt Russell) must lead the surviving men in discovering who among them is human and who ...

Meanwhile, Henry's sadistic older brother Angus (Peter Feeney) has taken over the family business, and become widely known for his controversial genetic experiments on the animals. When two animal activists release one of Angus's genetically-altered lambs, Henry's trip ...
