10 Greatest Twilight Zone Endings Of All Time

9. Stopover In A Quiet Town

Season 5, Episode 150 Original air date: April 24, 1964 A married couple, Bob and Millie Frazier, wake up in an unfamiliar house, in an unfamiliar bed. They have no idea how they got there, all they can remember is that they were drinking heavily the night before. The couple looks around the house and quickly notices that things are a little weird. The telephone isn't plugged in, none of the drawers in the kitchen work and the food in the refrigerator - fruits, bread, etc - are nothing more than plastic props. As they leave the house, they hear the playful laughter of a little girl but they can't tell where it's coming from. They wander around a bit more and soon realize that the town is completely abandoned, with no living person in sight. The Ending: It turns it that the couple has been abducted by an alien family and placed in this fake town as "pets" for their daughter's dollhouse neighborhood. The big reveal comes when the little girl (actually 100x their size) reaches down and picks them up, laughing with pleasure. At her mother's behest, the little girl drops them back into the town, as the couple scurries off. The moral of the story? "If you drink, don't drive. And if your wife has had a couple, she shouldn't drive either. You might both just wake up with a whale of a headache in a deserted village in the Twilight Zone."
