I'd have to look it up, but I think "Child's Play" was inspired by Talking Tina

Real Steal actually credits itself as a movie remake of that episode. Richard Matheson is also the writer of I Am Legend (novel), What Dreams May Come (novel), Stir of Echos (novel), The Incredible Shrinking Man (novel), Duel and many other episodes of The Twilight Zone. Among the episodes he wrote is Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. |

Wasn't The Truman Show meant to be similar to a Twilight Zone episode? I've always heard this.

The episode that inspired Final Destination is very good. Season 2 is a mixed bag imo.

"Button, Button" was readapted into The Box.
A lot of movies borrow from the twist in "An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge" (Jacob's Ladder and The Descent come to mind).
Kind of a stretch, but given Rod Serling's involvement: "Eye of the Beholder" and Planet of the Apes.
The Mist always reminded me of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

The Mist always reminded me of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. I was going to say I don't see the connection, but now I do. I had to think about it for a minute. The movies that popped into my mind were Eyes Without a Face and The Face of Another.

A bit of a stretch, but it is similar...
"The Odyssey of Flight 33"
A strange increase in speed causes a jet airliner to travel back in time... and then it causes the jet airliner to go forward in time.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)... In the original TV Series ("Tomorrow Is Yesterday") and In The Film...
The Enterprise flies towards the Sun to get a huge increase in Speed, so that it can travel back in time... and then later to go forward in time.
