When I first saw this i was so perplexed, transfixed and stun by the twist to this, great acting, great dialogue, even the eerie music coincided with this episode, great review!!!!
Thank you Nakeisha! I agree this one is an all time classic, I have grown to appreciate it more with each viewing.
Another amazing and analytical deep dive into one of twilight zone‘s more popular episodes! Anthony every time you come out with a new video especially these essays on twilight zone I get so sad when the video ends because I just want to see more and more and more! The social commentary at play here is bar none and crazy how good and resonate it is! Great job my friend 👏🏽
Yo wassup Jonathan, thanks for watching. I have that other vid in progress now for wow movie moments. Hoping to get it up this week. Be well man.
This is one of my favorites. It was such a shock and the face makeup-masks look good, especially for the time. Comparing them to Star Trek, which was around the same time, it’s a complete 180 in terms of quality.
Hey TheAlanirvin - The masks do look solid. I love Trek too but the makeup and masks were hit and miss on that show. Thank you for watching. A new review will be up tomorrow. Be well.
This is the ONLY episode I remember watching as a child...the effect was THAT powerful.
I hear you. This one and the Living Doll really stood out to me as I saw them when I was younger also. Thanks for watching Jannet. Have a good one!
This was awesome. I actually feel pieces of this episode inspired the book Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk. Really good points you made here. Didn't know it was a different actress inside of the bandages ...
Her monologue about how her condition has affected her, ending with the line of “PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF ME!”
Always chills me to my core.
I agree totally. It is a real gut punch, and you really feel for her so much.
Thank you for making all these! (especially the neglected big tall wish) that episode meant alot to my mother who is black. She remembers seeing it vividly, and the joy it brought her.
Also I've been looking for twilight zone commentaries so I'm thrilled I found your channel
Very glad to have you here Gecko! Good timing too, I just got up a new TZ vid today! Hope to hear from you again and I appreciate the kind words. Be well!
Funny how this touches on conforming to the state or let's say society, so long ago, and how we can see similarities now a days on issues that we uses to say was our own personal choice, and the persuasion of society.
Agreed. Many of these are timeless in a sense, and can be tied to issues or at least relatable to things we're still facing in some way today. 60+ years later.
Ahead of their time indeed 👍
Woah... this episode looks really trippy, even for Twilight Zone standards 😀 haha! Great review, as always Ant! 👏
What illuminates these summaries is not only TZ's excellent writing, but your own. The New York accent also lends a down-to-earth quality to even the most avant garde episodes. Bravo!
Ayyyy oh! I see you noticed the NY accent! ha ha! Thanks for the kind words and comments Td Ali, I'm a big fan of the show so it is always a pleasure to meet a fellow fan and hear your thoughts on these episodes too.
I love his New Yawk accent too! It reminds me of Slip Mahoney and Satchel Jones and the Bowery Boys.
@@marieroberts5458 Lol you can't get more NY than those naughty Bowery Boys!
The Twilight Zone is one of my favorite tv shows. It has aged like a very fine wine because most of it is still relevant to this day. Eye of the Beholder one of my favorite episodes.
Hey that is awesome to hear! A fellow TZ fan. Thanks for the view. I should actually have a new TZ vid up tomorrow. Be well, stay safe.
First time I watched the episode I don't think I noticed all the medical staff being in shadows. So the twist really worked for me. Yes everyone has a different opinion of beauty
This episode scared the shit out of me when I was a kid lol.
I imagined the lady to be a monster and the twist gave me nightmares for days
Certainly a series not afraid to push buttons and pose some serious social questions - definately ahead of its time here with this episode. Certainly intriguing!! Fantastic analysis! :)
Thanks as always dude!
@@FeverDreamlandTheater You`re very welcome! :)
Another fine review! Douglas Heyes, the director, did a great job of concealing the faces without drawing attention to it. Another Serling script highlighting the evils of totalitarianism. " The Obsolete Man " is another example. Iconic face masks shriek Twilight Zone's identity.
"Another Serling script highlighting the evils of totalitarianism." Agreed totally James, and on a very related note, I'm aiming to have a new review up this week which covers similar ground, The Obsolete Man....another classic.
Donna Douglas is the name of the actress. Maxine Stuart did her voice over!
You’re doing something really unique here with these twilight episode breakdowns and fantastic commentary over them. Awesome video as always can’t wait for the next one !
Thanks man, I appreciate hearing that. I'm shooting for this week for a new one, but we'll see. Be well.
Fantastic review of a fantastic episode!!
This one has a level of creepiness to it that is undoubtedly hard to match. Really set a standard for Twilight Zone.
I ran through the comments and saw you mentioned you reposted it. For a moment I thought I was seeing things. I'm like, "did he seriously just DOUBLE his subscribers in 8 hours??" 😆
The positive there is you DOUBLED your subscribers since you 1st put this vid out! That's so awesome man, congrats!! And I have no doubts that it'll keep growing from here. Thank you for continuing to provide us subscribers with new insights, informative breakdowns and easy to listen to content.
Hey Burja, thanks, I always appreciate your comment and your insight. 🤜🤛
I always forget how man writing tropes were invented by this show. It could be hit and miss, but when it hit it really hit
No doubt, I hear you about the hit & miss aspect. I've been avoiding some of the really rough ones, but I do intend to try to cover them all. There's an episode called the Bard....it is a disaster.
This is such a classic episode of Twilight Zone.
Vinnie! Good to see you. No doubt, another one of my favorites.
A lesson I suppose is... even when everyone's ugly humanity will find a way and a reason to judge each other. also dude, you need more subs
Hey Lawrence, thanks for watching & I appreciate the support! I also agree with your take, humanity can be hypercritical and uncaring and I think this episode sheds some light on that ugly side.
And don't forget the rampant smoking in a hospital! Norm for the time. 🤓😎✌🏻
If you remember a few years ago even Ariana Grande dressed up with one of those faces on Halloween.
I recall that! 5 hour in prosthetics...but it was worth it because it was pretty cool. Thanks for watching & commenting Greg.
You have more than double the subs since you first posted this video. I tell yea, this twilight zone theme, with your writing and your voice over, if you can keep a decent grind. You are gonna get big.
100% agree with you Scott! 😀
Hey Scott, thanks man, yeah fingers crossed the growth continues, we'll see, I hope so. I still love doing them anyway. But mixing it up with random movie reviews or rankings is fun too. Variety is the spice of life.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater plus im always worried ill end up in some super niche channel.
@@lostinthereel i like this comment. : )
Well I was about to go to bed but I'll wait a few more minutes...
What's happening! Unfortunately this is a Rerun. 😆
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Yeah I recognized it after a few but I stuck out, for the analytics. How are you bro?
Looks like CZcams ate my previous comment on this one. But this is a fantastic episode with some fantastic parodies that came in its wake. I actually didn't know there were two different actresses playing Janet. Or if I did, I forgot. Good stuff.
Don't sweat it man, I know of at least 2 other people who comment and that happens to them regularly. I didn't know about the 2 different women until after the fact, when I did some reading up on it. Pretty interesting trivia. Thanks for the watch man.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Looks like it may have gotten me again. I commented on your newest TZ video as well. Not sure you got it.
I thought I'd seen this episode review and maybe forgot to comment but then I saw it was a re-upload. CZcams can be such a pain with copyright and context blocking.
Happy to watch it again, buddy👍.
Yeah I reposted. But thanks for checking in anyway man. Appreciated!
Another great review. I so want to watch this now. Your channel is doing great 👍
Yes, doing okay, thankfully. : ) I'm grateful. Thanks for checking in too. Hope you have been well.
this episOde rocked me😱...im glad i watched it frm the beginning til d end...made me love the series evn more😍💓🌹
It really is such a fantastic story, thank you for watching & commenting Liz. Take care!
@@FeverDreamlandTheater new sub hre😁
if Maxine (Donna Douglas) looks familiar to you, that's because she went on to become famous as Elly May Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies
Heeeey good catch seabreeze! 👍
In my top ten. As classic as TZ episodes get.
This one has it all. Great performances, a strong and very memorable twist, deep subject matter is touched on...a classic all around.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Perfectly put.
I hope you do one of these for The After Hours. In Eye of the Beholder, their leader guy on the TV acts a lot like Hitler.
Hey Susan, ideally I plan to cover all 156 of the classic series. I'm especially looking forward to The After Hours, that's a great one. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Have a good day.
There was a 1970s TV remake of sorts for this episode where a man has a face like nobody else's and at the end he trades places with a guy from another colony or planet that thinks he's attractive compared to where he was living! Again, the new guy is attractive by human standards!! I'm not sure if it was something Rod Serling was involved in or not because it's been decades since I saw it.
I am really curious about that one...I even looked into but no luck just yet.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater okay, I found it! This plot was revisited in a1971/72 episode of Night Gallery called "The Different Ones" and costarred Dana Andrews! I haven't seen it since I was a young kid, but my brother and I were talking about the scene where children are taunting him - calling him "ugly ugly ugly freak freak" and I remarked that I'd more realistically be going "AAAAAHHH!!!" Haha!
Congrats friend!! This is an awesome episode.. dare I say one of the best.
Hey wassup Karen! Thanks! : )
@@FeverDreamlandTheater busy with bookwork stuff, can’t wait to be done and play on here again 🤪
@@spiritsnscreams Heeey wassup thanks for the watch. Book work sounds good. I take it you prefer this sometimes?
@@FeverDreamlandTheater your videos are fun to watch. Filming is way more fun than math lol
@@spiritsnscreams Ha, ha gotcha.
great review! 👏👏👍😊
Have a nice day 😊 ❤️
Hey Mary, thanks for the watch I appreciate it. 👍 Be well. : )
Interesting clip👍💕
Great video as always buddy, 🤜🤛
Heeey wassup man, thanks! 🤜🤛
Just given you a shout out on my competition entry vid bro 🤜🤛
@@OldAFReviewers Yo - Thanks bro, I gotta check it out.
Great video man, such a classic episode
Hey wassup Cinema Critic. No doubt a classic... I was originally going to save this one for a later time, it's so iconic though, had to discuss it. Thanks for watching.
I feel like I'm tripping because you have over 200 subs... am I missing something? Lol 😆
Yeah I reposted, lol. May as well have edited that part to thank everyone for 200. Ah well.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater Oh thank goodness, I'm not going crazy! Haha 😄
@@lostinthereel Yeah I'm doing reruns now. Pft ahahahah. Hey on a side-note, is making chapter breaks relatively easy or tedious? I was thinking of maybe doing what you did for your Wow moments vid.
@@FeverDreamlandTheater SUPER EASY! In your description do a table of contents with time cards and just make sure the first time card is 0:00
@@lostinthereel Okay, maybe I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll blame Scott.
