i've seen now 3 episodes of it and its utter crap. im not racist at all but you cant have a big fat black man attempt to be scary and host this show, it doesnt work. the stories are alright but not nearly what they were back in the day in black and white with rod sterling.

I like the show.....

Last nights was pretty laim but there have been a few pretty good ones.

The old ones were better though.

I didnt even know it was back? who is the host? Please tell me it's not colour.... that would take half the effect away from it right there. I can remember my buddy got the entire collection through Time or something (well his parents did) and I used to stay over and watch them.... some would scare the hell outta me!

I still think my favorite is when a woman is home alone and aliens come to her house and come through the roof. She freaks out and kills them all with a knife... but at the end they do a close up of the ship that she destorys and it has the american flag on it... that freaked me out ;)

The host is Forest Whitiker I think....

He is about as scary as a stillborn kitten, but I like some of the plots

i like that one too. another favorite of mine is when this ladys at a train station waiting for her train to come and theres another one of her walking around doing things without her knowing, turns out she's from another dimension or something.

darth vaider and resident evil are one of them :hair:
