You wanna see something really scary? Try being 9 years old and watching the premiere episode of the rebooted Twilight Zone in 1985 - the height of the cold war - with two entries from director Wes Craven. Both Melinda and Aaron saw that bomb hovering overhead as kids, and it haunted their dreams. Episodes: Shatterday starring Bruce Willis and A Little Peace and Quiet starring Melinda Dillon.
A Little Peace and Quiet: The most memorable scene from 80s TV for Melinda.
We’re still in 1986, this time with TerrorVision directed by Ted Nicolaou. This B-movie is filled with slimy space monsters, swinger parents, and machine guns. Melinda and Aaron ask the question, is there more to this 80s cult classic, or is everything exactly as it seems?
