I remember that. It creeped me out too. I was a 12 at the time.
The story about the kid that has omnipotent power over everyone was actually the scariest one to me.

[Darqstar]

God, that's terrible! I had no idea about any of that.

Edit to add:

I remember that. It creeped me out too. I was a 12 at the time. The story about the kid that has omnipotent power over everyone was actually the scariest one to me.

The original TV show version is scarier to me.  The kid in it looks like another version of young Ron Howard (As in Opie from Mayberry RFD)  so sweet and cute, but when he flashes his eyes at someone, it's pure evil. 

Also, it's a good example of horrifying by what you don't show as well as what you show.  At one point the kid makes a three headed gopher.  You never see the gopher, but the actors do a good job in showing us how creepy that gopher really must be. 

You can watch the original here:

*sigh*
don't you just LOVE Rod Serling?

I vote that we find some of his hair, extract his DNA, clone him, and hire the clones to tell scary bedtime stories to naughty children.
i guaran-damn-tee those kids'll straighten up and fly right!

The Twilight Zone movie was made more creepy, at least for me, by the fact that Vic Morrow was killed during the filming of it. Morrow was famous for his role in the TV show Combat! and as the father of Jennifer Jason Leigh. He played the bigot that was thrown into the place of someone else to experience how they felt when they were being persecuted.

A helicopter crashed on top of him and a couple of kids when they were filming a particularly hairy scene set during Viet Nam. The chopper was flying low when some of the pyrotechnic stuff caused the copter to go out of control and crash on top of the three, killing Morrow and one of the kids instantly.

The deaths of the children while filming that movie resulted in the child labour laws being reformed, as well as safety regs for film sets.

I remember hearing about that and being horrified. It kinda reminds me of how the little girl from Poltergeist died during the filming of the third movie. She died of a disease, not an onset accident, but it just makes me feel certain subjects shouldn't be messed with or things like this can happen. I've very superstitious, I remember watching a special on E! about Hollywood curses and was intrigued.

don't you just LOVE Rod Serling?

No.

Is that him trying to smile? He has no lips. He looks like a perturbed muppet.

That kid was Bill Mumy and the episode was called "It's a Good Life". He was to go on to more reaching fame as Will Robinson in Lost in Space, the song Fish Heads, and as the Minbari named Lennier in Babylon 5. He's got a ton more to his credits in TV, movies and music. I iz sort of a fan. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

[Saraswati]

perturbed muppet.  

Try saying that twelve times fast..  

By the way, CookiePirate and Sailfin Dragon, just gorgeous on both counts! Where can I download your house from CookiePirate?

I just uploaded my first TS3 custom pattern-it's a fluer de lis set with burgundy, purple and green colour options. I hope you like it.. You can get it here. It's fine to reuse the texture for whatever. http://sublimesims.net/



Kath

note, these are done using TS3 Workshop, they SHOULD just install straight into your game. Let me know if you have any issues with the file and I can look at whether I need to do them using Delphy's tool instead.

[SoggyFox]

Ooo - pretty patterns!

And yep, Bill Mumy and his singing partner have like 9 albums out - alas, I don't have anything but Fishheads and another song he did solo, the Ballad of William Robinson.  However, if anyone ever offers to play These Boots Are Made for Walking done by Crispin Glover, run -far-far- away as fast as you can.  He makes Shatner look like an opera singer.

That kid was Bill Mumy and the episode was called "It's a Good Life".

interesting fact, in the 2002 revival of The Twilight Zonet the show also contains a follow-up episode to the events of the original episode "It's a Good Life". Bill Mumy returned to play the adult version of Anthony, the demonic child he had played in the original story, with Mumy's daughter, Liliana, appearing as Anthony's daughter, a more benevolent but even more powerful child. Cloris Leachman also returned as Anthony's mother.

SF if you can get some use out of it, do so.. It's there to be reused, mangled, folded, whatever..

On the subject of Bill Shatner.. (who of recent has turned into my favourite talk show host) we went to see Supanova in Sydney because Nichelle Nicholls was speaking.. and when a fan phrased a question about Bill Shatner's singing career, she fell off her chair because she was laughing so hard.

[Paden]

I prefer Nimoy out of the two, he and Shatner, that is... Nichell tops them both, but that goes without saying.

[Saraswati]

I think the thing that struck me in life about her Paden, is the fact that she's just so elegant.

[Paden]

Read her autobiography, Kath, it explains it all. She is one classy lady, from her head to her toes and I respect her immensely.

[Saraswati]

by the way, after some confusion with someone who's used to installing patterns the MTS way, I've provided the fluer de lis pattern in package file format too, and I'll be doing that from now on. (I have some more coming in the next few days that I'll post)

Paden I'll have to see if I can still find her bio here. She also has an astonishinly beautiful voice.. Like one of those old 50's divas or something.

[Dr House]

I've provided the fluer de lis pattern in package file format too, and I'll be doing that from now on.

Yeah, way to go! That awful EA installer is... Awful! You have to clean up 2 directories filled with crap when you use it. Plus it badly removes stuff when you don't want it anymore. And it's so slow Ugh. I will grab the package format file for your beautiful lis texture, thanks But the package link is 404. Kaput.
When are your new patterns coming? Yes I already Want Want Want, count me on the list!
