The Twilight Zone: The Hitch-Hiker (1960)
Season 1, Episode 16
10/10
🏆 ONE OF TWILIGHT ZONE'S BEST
1 January 2023
🏆 THE HITCHHIKER is one of the BEST of all the Twilight Zone classic episodes... (It was so good that it is VERY POSSIBLE that the later made cult classic horror movie THE CARNIVAL OF SOULS was based on it... Uncredited of course, like so many other films who took Twilight Zone stories and tweaked them a bit for camouflage) A woman keeps seeing a hitchhiker no matter where she goes and how fast she gets there... He's always ahead of her waiting...waiting... Her desperation and fear increases by the minute... Tension mounts and she can't get away.. Even a sailor from the Navy can't scare her and she gives the stranger a ride rather than drive alone to the next stop. This is Twilight Zone at its most macabre.
