Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)



You're going to find a lot of movies in this blog with me saying "this movie freaked me the f- out" or "this scene scared the crap out of me." This film is no exception. I can remember watching this late at night with my father and that opening scene when Dan Aykroyd says "You wanna see something really scary?" Then he turns into this freaky ass zombie monster and attacks Albert Brooks. Let's just say I did not sleep too well that night. Nor did I sleep with dry pajamas.

This movie is an amazing collaboration between directors at the top of their game, most notably Joe Dante who went on to make such classics as "Gremlins" and "The 'burbs." His segment about a boy's imagination wreaking havoc on his family and a kind woman is what I always loved best about this movie. It's one of the most twisted yet funny pieces of cinema I have ever seen.

Plus how could you not love a movie that begins and ends with Creedence?
