History YMMV / TheTwilightZone

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/JordanPeele is the host of ''Series/TheTwilightZone2019'', succeeding Creator/ForestWhitaker who hosted ''Series/TheTwilightZone2002''. One has to wonder if his NightmareFuel-laden impression of Whitaker on ''Series/KeyAndPeele'' had anything to do with it.

!!Pinball/TheTwilightZone (pinball)
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Second only to ''Pinball/BlackKnight2000'', according to some. Helps that the main gameplay theme is Music/GoldenEarring's "Twilight Zone", awesome music in its own right.
* DemonicSpiders: The Town Square bumpers are located just above the left outlane and can send your ball into it if you're not very careful, while a drain in the right outlane is comparatively rare. Some arcades will install a guard around this area to prevent balls from being bumped into the left outlane.
* MemeticMutation: '''[[MadnessMantra DON'T TOUCH]] [[NightmareFuel THE DOOR]]'''
* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound:
** "DON'T TOUCH THE DOOR! DON'T TOUCH THE DOOR! '''DONTTOUCHTHEDOORDONTTOUCHTHEDOOR'''" ''[[MadeOfExplodium (boom)]]'' Cue multiball.
*** Likewise, one of the loudest and most satisfying Jackpot sounds of all of pinball.
** The Power's scream as you defeat it. Doubles as a moment of awesome with a clenched fist making 3 bangs right afterward.
** [[WizardMode "You have come to the end of your journey. Survival is everything."]]
* ScrappyMechanic:
** The Powerfield's "Magna-Flippers" can be unreliable depending on their condition, making a Battle the Power victory much more difficult than it needs to be. Plus, it's not readily obvious ''how'' to use them effectively.
** The SkillShot launches the ball into the Camera hole...where it will exit onto the Town Square jet bumpers, potentially rocketing the ball into the left outlane. Some players advise just skipping the Skill Shot entirely.
* SoundtrackDissonance: The upbeat music from ''Pinball/BanzaiRun'', ''Pinball/EarthShaker'' and ''Pinball/FunHouse1990'' during Fast Lock multiball. They all seem weird since you're still within the ''Twilight Zone'' and its eerie universe -- then again, considering it's ''The Twilight Zone'', [[FridgeBrilliance that's kind of the point, isn't it?]]

* ToughActToFollow: The original series has cast a very long shadow over each attempt to revive the franchise. Even the heavily-hyped streaming series hosted, produced, and occasionally written by Creator/JordanPeele was quietly cancelled after just two seasons.

* FirstInstallmentWins: While the later revivals have their fans, most tend to agree none of the attempted revivals could quite match the level of quality and deeper meaning to its stories that [[Series/TheTwilightZone1959 the first series had]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/JordanPeele has been given the role of narrator for a new revival series, succeeding Creator/ForestWhitaker - one has to wonder if his NightmareFuel-laden impression of Whitaker on ''Series/KeyAndPeele'' had anything to do with it.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The high-pitched version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" that plays during "Clock Chaos"--and the melody only gets faster after each time the clock is struck.

* AwesomeMusic: Second only to ''Pinball/BlackKnight2000'', according to some. Helps that the main gameplay theme is Music/GoldenEarring's "Twilight Zone", awesome music in its own right.
