Its central haunt is a furry gremlin who wreaks havoc on the wing of the plane. The beast can seemingly only been seen by the passenger Robert Wilson (William Shatner).<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;THE INVADERS&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Knife-wielding miniature aliens are no less terrifying than their looming counterparts, &#8220;The Invaders&#8221; set out to prove in 1961. It&#8217;s one of the most aggressive episodes in\u00a0<em>The Twilight Zone<\/em>\u00a0canon, featuring the unrelenting force of its titular, tiny invader, and a protagonist who&#8217;s under attack the entire 25 minutes, nursing her wounds while viewers developed a reverse Napoleon complex.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;HOCUS-POCUS AND FRISBY&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Aliens are probably the most often repeated source of fear in\u00a0<em>The Twilight Zone<\/em>. Among the scariest aliens from the show were the ones that came for a fibber named Mr. Frisby. His tall tales caused him to become a target for aliens who come to collect him as an exemplary specimen who represents humanity&#8217;s best. In the end, Frisby escapes, but few viewers could turn off the TV set without first putting themselves in Frisby&#8217;s shoes, all of us shaking in our boots aboard the alien ship.<\/p>\n<p>+++++<\/p>\n<p>My choice for the scariest monster from <em>The Twilight Zone<\/em> would be the\u00a0Kanamits from <em>To Serve Man<\/em>.\u00a0 Not only are the an advanced race of aliens that are over 9 feet tall but they eat humans!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fine folks at Me-TV have posted their choices for the Scariest Monsters that Came from the Twilight Zone.\u00a0 Using<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tv"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18938"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18940,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18938\/revisions\/18940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
