The most well-known anthology series is certainly The Twilight Zone. During its lengthy but sporadic run of 60 years, the series has been a huge influence on several shows in many genres. Twilight Zone makes this list because its weirder episodes still creep us out and confuse us today.

There’s the couple who find themselves suddenly stuck in a fake plastic town. Whenever they think they’ve escaped, they’re thrust straight back to the beginning only to realise that they’re literally in someone’s giant toy town. There’s an episode with a man who can see when people are going to die because their faces begin to glow a bright white.

The Twilight Zone focused on the fantastical and the surreal but it also illuminated the absurdity in everyday life. The existential crises that we all must endure and the bizarre nature of dimensions and dreams are all aspects that made the series a weird horror classic that still unsettles the viewer 60 years on.
