8 More Scariest TV Episodes To Watch This Halloween

2. Living Doll - The Twilight Zone

Whilst there's plenty of interdimensional spookiness residing within The Twilight Zone, it's the living doll Talky Tina that serves as one of the scariest inhabitants. Beating out horror staples like Chucky and Annabelle, Talky Tina is legitimately one of the most unsettling toys on screen, living up to her name with an ongoing supernatural commentary reserved especially for stepfather Erich.

To put it lightly, Tina isn't Erich's biggest fan. This episode centres around Tina protecting Christie, taking drastic measures to ensure her safety and happiness whilst wrapped up in a monstrous premise. If she wasn't a f*cking creepy murderous plastic child, I guess there might be some seed of sweetness to that whole concept - but as it stands, she is. You know the drill with dolls by now, and this classic TV episode is one of the OGs for getting your uncanny valley fill.
