Watching "The Fever" I forgot how this episode creeps me out. The distorted voice. Franklin's compulsion that turned him from an intelligent , rational man to raving gambling lunatic.

Outer Limits has been mentioned a few times in this thread already so I don't think it will be out-of-place to say that MeTV has been airing reruns of the original series on their late night Red Eye Sci-Fi block. I've rewatched the first four episodes for the first time in years and for the most part really enjoyed them.  Tonight they are airing one of my favorite episodes "The Man Who Was Never Born" featuring Martin Landau who wears a pretty grotesque looking special effects makeup during parts of the episode.

The best episode they've aired so far I feel is also the very first episode "The Galaxy Being" featuring Cliff Robertson who modern audiences probably know best as Uncle Ben in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films.  It manages to set the tone for the rest of the series as well as grabbing the audience immediately with that classic creepy intro.  I think one of the things Outer Limits actually did better in some cases than The Twilight Zone was their special effects (not that the The Twilight Zone special effects were bad in comparison by any means). "The Galaxy Being" is one that always made me wonder how they pulled off the look of the alien which I have to see still looks creepy today. The Twilight Zone on the other hand I feel not only had the stronger writing overall but also the better guess stars (although quite a few actors would appear in both series).

For those Zone lovers: Decades HD channel begins a 4 day marathon this week. Starts Thursday 12/3120 at 7am and running through Sunday/Monday morning. Set your recorders!
