"Twenty Two" (S2:E17) was based on "The Bus-Conductor," which was previously filmed in Dead of Night (1944), though I think the TZ version is eerier and better.
Several of the other "evil dummy" episodes ("The Dummy," "Caesar and Me") are based on another great segment in that movie, the "Ventriloquist's Dummy" sequence.
"Queen of the Nile" (5:23) borrows a great deal from Sunset Boulevard.
"King Nine Will Not Return" (2:1) was based on the real-life disappearance of the Lady Be Good in 1943, an incident which was previously fictionalized in February 1960 (just a few months before the TZ episode) as "Ghost Bomber" on Armstrong Circle Theatre. It would later be fictionalized as the telefilm Sole Survivor in 1970 (Sole Survivor being, of course, the answer to the famous "what is my movie?" question on the old boards).
Truly brilliant here Salzmank
. Also with all honesty
I would have never picked up
on some of these crossovers
that you mentioned here either
. I usually watch some
of the ones you mentioned here
around 100 times and still
would have never made
that connection until now
. Thanks so much Salzmank for some of
your movie recommendations of the ones
I have not seen here and for your reply
.
