Earl Hamner

Twilight zone episodes played on day 7 of interim class were a lot different than the previous we’ve watched.   Earl Hamner has a different ideal when it comes to the twilight zone than the other writers bringing a southern style to most of his episodes.  The only episodes of his I enjoyed were You Drive and Stopover in a Quiet Town, both of which weren’t southern.  I wouldn’t say I would watch these two again but they were the only two that kept my attention throughout the entire episode.
The other Earl Hamner twilight zone episodes were very hard to watch.  I couldn’t stay awake for either “The Hunt” or “Jess Belle” episode.  Neither one was similar to the previous twilight zone shows we watched, and didn’t even have the same premise for its episodes.  Especially “The Hunt”, in which I felt it, was nothing like a twilight zone episode.  I can definitely say that Earl Hamner is one of my least favorite writers for the twilight zone.

  1. On the other hand, staying awake might have helped you know what really happened so you could critically comment.
