SKADOOOSH After yesterdays fumble I figured you readers were probably gettin sick of this blog and I dont blame you so for this entire week Im gonna reveiw episodes of the twilight zone since that show is actually pretty scary sometimes.So lets talk about Season 1 episode 6 of The Twilight Zone
The escape clause:
Im gonna talk about the iconic intro to this show first,its rare for a writer to act in his stories especially since he does it every episode. He basically explains every episode what the twilight zone is its a dimension between dimensions where the paranormal happens to put it simply anything and I mean anything can happen in the twilight zone.At the end of each episode he explains morals and such the episode teaches this show has been parodied countless times by cartoons and even had a series reboot in the 90s which is really good.The episode the escape clause is about a hypochondriac who fears nothing more than death and thinks hes always sick hes spoiled as heck cause he stays in bed as his wife takes care of him and doctor tells him hes not sick I never understood how often women put up with jerks.After hes done nagging his wife the devil(oddly using a sir name Ken Waller) visits him and talks to him about death I always loved the idea as the devil as a buisness man or a salesman where he outwits some poor fool into giving him his soul in fact alot of the episodes are like this.The devil strikes up a deal with the man and offers him a contract for invincibilitie and inabilitie to die he accepts and starts offing himself immediatly he literally throws himself in front of a moving train and sues them for y'know running him over hes talking to his wife about how life is no longer exciting because he cant die.He then fixes himself an amonia and death cocktail and reveals to his wife hes immortal.Me personally Id just fight people alot.He goes up to the roof to jump off his wife goes up to offer him potatoe pancakes (not even joking) and he kills her hoping to get the death penalty but his lawyer is AMAZING and manages to defend a man who openly killed his wife.He loses of course and gets DEAT- nevermind LIFE IN PRISON ha and he calls the devil to take him back to hell.I personally would've just went and either killed everybody or wait for the prison to be torn down or stay in prison instead of eternal damnation.So it ends on Rod sterling telling us what happens when you deal with the devil and thats it for today but come back tommorow for twilight zone week of October Horror marathon
