The Twilight Zone: The Masks (1964)
Mardi Gras will never be the same.
Ever had a rich relative you were excited to have die so you could get your inheritance? Me either. I actually love my loved ones and, well, none of them are rich. The same can't be said though for the Harper family that has reluctantly visited their dying Father/Grandfather, Jason Foster. Jason appears to have a closer relationship with his personal doctor compared to that of his own daughter that puts the focus of her own minor ailments above his critical status. A very self absorbed family is inconvenienced one final time in the heart of New Orleans on Marti Gras as Jason requests they all wear masks throughout the evening. This is wonderfully written and never slow or dull. An episode that keeps you wondering until the end and shows that sometimes, your inner ugliness can't always be disguised no matter attractive or successful you are.
The Twilight Zone: The Howling Man (1960)
Haunting....
What does a dark castle, a stormy night and a howling man all have in common? One of the best that The Twilight Zone has shown the world. David Ellington (H.M. Wynant) stumbles across a castle while looking for shelter from a storm. The brotherhood that inhabits that castle is not pleased about having an uninvited guest and makes it no secret, that they have a secret. Every actor is convincing and dead on to where you can agree with both sides to this story. The climax is wonderful and haunting, and the Gothic theme sets this episode apart from the others. This was honestly an episode that could have been in season 4, when each episode was 45 minutes. Some things are not explained to where I would be content, however, I am still giving this a 10/10 due to everything be done so well. My kids love this. I love this. Enjoy, and keep an ear out for any howling you may encounter in your travels.
