The gremlin episode is probably the best remembered and most celebrated one of the Twilight Zone franchise, probably on a lot of viewers' top ten lists as well. I like it for Shatner's calculated performance as a recovering mental patient, but it's offset by that goofy monster get up we're supposed to get all worked up about. Nothing scary there, except when that face presses up against the window, actually pretty creepy for the split second it appears on screen.
I'm glad William Shatner overcame his fear of flying to take on interplanetary space travel. I just picked up the three season Star Trek series, so will be watching and reviewing those just as soon as my Twilight Zone gig is complete. It's always cool to revisit these shows from my childhood to see how they've aged over the years. The good ones, like TZ, mellow like fine wine, even if there's a sour grape in the mix along the way. This one's up there for being one of the more memorable entries, but with an ending that probably would have been better left to the imagination.
