Horror On TV: Twilight Zone 1.6 “Judgment Night”


In 1942, a German man named Carl Lanser (Nehmiah Persoff) finds himself on board the S.S. Glasgow, a British ocean liner that is heading for New York.  Carl has no memory of how he got on the Glasgow but he knows that he’s been here before and he’s met all of the passengers in the past.  Even worse, he knows that something terrible is going to happen and that he’s powerless to stop it….

The “Judgment Night” episode of The Twilight Zone was written by Rod Serling and directed by John Brahm.  It was originally broadcast on December 4th, 1959 and it serves to remind us that, regardless of what some would claim, there’s nothing more horrific than the senseless destruction of war.

The doll always breaks my heart.
