The real unnerving thing about that episode is how even though he is alone, he keeps running into evidence that someone else was just there seconds ago.
I started watching as soon as Twilight Zone debuted. In 1959 I was nine years old. My night consisted of The Flintstones, Route 66, and The Twilight Zone. I was also a Back to the Future fan and recognized the town, park, and all the buildings. It has been used for several different movies.
@@PaulTesta It was in the mid 80s. Myself and two other friends were stationed in Scotland and had taken a train down to London. We got our room and while settling in, we turned on the television and an old western was on where Earl Holliman was playing a bad-guy character. We then ventured out and were in the tubes when Mr Holliman and his wife (I’m assuming) walked up and asked us for directions. My friends gave him the directions and I stood there thinking “hey, I know you”. After he walked away, I pointed out to my friends who it was that they were just talking to, and once pointed out, realized who it was. Edit: Just looked it up, but the western that we saw him in was "Last train from Gun Hill". He played a thoroughly despicable character.
Earl is still alive and last time I got info on him somewhere he was still living in his own house in the Hollywood Hills. You should remember him from Forbidden Planet.
Very cool, as soon as I saw the building behind him a 1:30 I figured it out but even though I've seen this episode many times I never realized it was the clock tower from BTTF till now.
Wow, showing my age, I was born a month after this first episode aired LOL. I remember watching this episode and remembering how scary it would be to just not be able to find anyone and not remember who you were and where you were. I actually thought they filmed in an actual small town. Thanks Rick
I was 8 years old. I'd have to go to bed at the same time as my younger siblings. But, if I were still awake when the Twilight Zone came on, I could get up and watch it with my Mom. Great memories.
Thanks for this video. I love everything Twilight Zone and you just add to my addiction. I was about 11 or 12 when the show came on and never missed an episode. I really enjoy videos that visit filiming locations of our favorite shows or movies. The fact that you've done this for the Twilight Zone is great as are your other Twilight Zone videos. On a similar note, a few years ago we vacationed out west (I live on the east coast) and visited and toured Monument Valley where all those John Ford/Wayne westerns were filimed. Great stuff! Thanks much.
Always a good time to see something about Twilight Zone. Thanks for the video Rick, I hope you’re doing well, please keep up the great work and take care!
We took the tour of Universal about 6 years ago and I noticed the square/tower right away. What a great tour and we can't wait to go back there again --- some day.
I took the universal tour in Aug of 1972. They were filming an episode of Emergency. That was cool. I remember the PT 73 McHale's navy boat. Land of the Giants props and the Munsters house. Beaver house too. I don't believe the tram went by the courthouse though. Cool place well worth the admission! Great RUclips channel here Rick! I never miss an episode!
I remember running into Earl Holliman shopping in a grocery store while working in San Antonio TX. I had just seen this episode on TV the day before. Talk about weird wild stuff.
I was on the Universal Studio Tour in the early 1980's. It was around the time ET was in the theatre's because they had a demonstration of how they made ET fly on the bicycle. It's also where I was able to see one of the Back to the Future DeLorean's...that was really cool!!! The only thing I remember on the back lot was seeing the house where Leave it to Beaver lived and also the house used in Amityville Horror. It's was, and I'm sure still is, a wonderful tour. I'd love to do it again sometime, but I'm on the East Coast and a-bit too far away.
Yep, I watched this episode so many times that when I saw Back to the Future in a theater, I knew immediately it was the universal back lot. The sidewalks and building plus the size and position of the square gave it away.
I have done the back lot tour and found it very interesting. It is amazing how many times it is used and you never realize! Love the work you do and the insight you provide, well done Rick!
The scene that always sticks in my mind about this episode is when he is in the theater, goes up to the projection room, and then comes running back down and crashes into the mirror!
My wife and kids and I did the Universal tour on August 2, 1990 weird that I remember it to the day but it was the day Saddam marched into Kuwait which is easy to recall. Anyhow, what a fascinating place to visit right after the 3rd back to the future. I was like a kid in a candy store, my wife and the kids were like okay haha. Thanks Rick this brought back some great memories. Did you ever get to where they filmed Bewitched/Hazel/I Dream of Jeannie? I would have loved that too.
Yes, I knew this was Universal early on (at least after reading books on the show,, etc.) I have visited Universal at least two time and enjoyed it very much. so much production history and unfortunately, a lot of is is gone now. I never go to see { I believe it was Colonial St.) where the old set like the Harvey House, The Munster House, Beavers House and so on that whole section was dismantled and replace by Wisteria Way. But it is still a great place to visit especially if you have never done so. Another episode with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery, was filmed at the old Hal Roach Studio in some of its last days. This was where shows like The Little Rascals, Laurel and Hardy and many other old classics were filmed. I do not know how many people know this. I enjoy watching your videos, great job. Oh, that one "A Hundred Yards Over The Rim is one of my favorites of all I remember seeing that one as a kid on tv when TZ was first aired. That episode , simple as it was, was the most intriguing of all as I have always had a fascination of time travel and this one was perfect example where someone would be able to experience the future and return back to their own time.
Rick, In 2008 the Universal Studios Backlot including Courthouse Square burned down due to a massive fire. It was almost completely rebuilt. I was lucky enough to be working there when Back to the Future was filmed so I was able to see where so many films and TV shows like TTZ were filmed.
I saw courthouse square in the summer of 1985, shortly after "Back to the Future" was released. The square was still configured as it appeared in the movie. They also had the DeLorean time machine on display. I might be wrong, but I think some of the outdoor court house scenes from the movie "Inherit the Wind" were filmed there.
You said you might show us more of your Universal Studios trip and in a way, you did! Combining it with Twilight Zone information was a huge plus! Any wonder why your channel rocks? Btw, the actor in this particular TZ episode, wasn’t that Earl Holliman from the tv show Police Woman? Just curious to know.
For future reference, the triangular shape architecturally is called a pediment. I have never seen the episode but realized what it was quickly. Hard to believe Back to the Future will turn 40 next summer!
There is an old B movie titled, The Monitors in which this town lot was used, but I may be wrong. I haven't seen it. She was in the Peter Gunn series also.
That town in Universal caught fire a few years ago. Completely demolished! So they tried to rebuild the town as close as possible to the original. What stands there today is a replica...sad to report. I worked at Universal back in (1985) and walked over to that town everyday during lunch hour. Not knowing anything about that place......until later that year when I saw "Back to the Future" opening day at the Avco cinema in Westwood, CA. Boy was I surprised to see my everyday lunch walk on screen! If only I knew then....what I know now.
If you look at the clock tower from the angle in front, there is really no street where Marty can drive 88 mph. It looks like just a short square block.
Just recently watched that episode and my first reaction was, "Hey, that's the square and town hall (without the clock tower) as in 'Back to the Future'!" Glad I was right that it was a back lot, just didn't know who's.
the hills in the back are the Hollywood Hills, and they can be seen in many shows/movies filmed on the Warner Brothers' lot too, like, for example, in the movie "The Music Man", in which one can not only see the Hollywood Hills surrounding flat River City, Iowa, but also the high voltage towers on the higher sides of the hills, probably the parts off Barham Blvd. as you travel up and over to Cahuenga Blvd.
The show is iconic and Earl Holliman is a great actor (as he is still among us). He is 95.
96 on Sept 11.
@@PaulTesta Probably the longest lived TZ cast member.
He was great in "Forbidden Planet".
Earl Holliman is still around! Maybe he has a recollection of how things were then!
The real unnerving thing about that episode is how even though he is alone, he keeps running into evidence that someone else was just there seconds ago.
My favorite is the running faucet with shaving implements and the water is still steaming.
I started watching as soon as Twilight Zone debuted. In 1959 I was nine years old. My night consisted of The Flintstones, Route 66, and The Twilight Zone. I was also a Back to the Future fan and recognized the town, park, and all the buildings. It has been used for several different movies.
Fun fact: Earl Holliman once asked me for directions in the tubes in London.
Wow! That is very cool? What year was that?

Great story! Thanks for sharing!
Fun for you.
Love when you cover the Twilight Zone! Amazingly done as always 🧡🧡
Earl is still alive and last time I got info on him somewhere he was still living in his own house in the Hollywood Hills.
You should remember him from Forbidden Planet.
He also starred with Angie Dickinson in tv's POLICE WOMAN.
Earl Holliman is Almost 96 yrs old. about 20 yrs ago i sent him a SASE for an autograph & he responded 😊 ❤ love your videos my friend !!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool, as soon as I saw the building behind him a 1:30 I figured it out but even though I've seen this episode many times I never realized it was the clock tower from BTTF till now.
The stories where a person is left alone are so very scary.
Liminal spaces are!
Great Scott!
Super cool video !!! I had no idea about Back to the Future having been filmed there. Keep the great videos coming. Outstanding work.
Wow, showing my age, I was born a month after this first episode aired LOL. I remember watching this episode and remembering how scary it would be to just not be able to find anyone and not remember who you were and where you were. I actually thought they filmed in an actual small town. Thanks Rick
Great episode. Did not know about where it was filmed.
I love your reviews, Rick!

Very Kool!
Never visited Universal Studios or Disneyland in all the many many many decades here!
No! I can never tell where things are filmed 😂
Yes! I have visited the theme park and backlot. Fun info Rick. 😃
Your videos are always interesting 👍
Thanks Jimmy!
You need to oil your door hinges, Rick! Thanks for the video.
TZ was ahead of its time, just as its creator was.
People loved it, because the "what if" factor always has people intrigued.
Another great job, Rick! Well, save for one “fact”. Universal studios are located in UNIVERSAL CITY, CA., and NOT in Studio City.

Earl was also in "The Sons of Katie Elder".Super glad he's still around. Like McQueen in "Papillion", I'm still here you bastards!".
We took the tour of Universal about 6 years ago and I noticed the square/tower right away. What a great tour and we can't wait to go back there again --- some day.
Such a great episode. Amazing how you can find these tidbits after all these years.
I liked this episode. Thanks for the information.

I have been to Universal Studios a very long time ago, when I was a kid. We went with a group, to tour. It was very fascinating from what I recollect.
Yep, I watched this episode so many times that when I saw Back to the Future in a theater, I knew immediately it was the universal back lot. The sidewalks and building plus the size and position of the square gave it away.
I have done the back lot tour and found it very interesting. It is amazing how many times it is used and you never realize! Love the work you do and the insight you provide, well done Rick!
So true!
I knew about this one already and went to the backlot before. Really nice place. I should go there again but VIP tour this time.
I know of a town down South that is laid out just like the Court house square in those movies and show!!! Oh it's in TN north of Memphis... GaryBailey
It was a great episode. But I sure didn't know the history of that location. So interesting
Hey Rick , r u going to start live streaming again ?
The scene that always sticks in my mind about this episode is when he is in the theater, goes up to the projection room, and then comes running back down and crashes into the mirror!
That mirror scene was shot beautifully
When I first saw the greyscale photo of the town with Earl Holliman, I thought it was the town in The Last Picture Show.
Never noticed.Loved the show

Yes I been to the backlot.
Start of episode, Holliman's character is walking down a road and encounters and enters a cafe.
Any ideas where that road/ cafe is located?
Loooove this episode. So creepy.
Very interesting, Rick, I hadn’t noticed. I think a trip to Universal is in my future! It’s been a minute since I’ve been there. Thanks! 😊
You should!
Another old B&W movie I can recall this town square, possibly,The Blob,starring Steve McQueen.

You will have to explain to Gen Z what a phone booth is and how to read an analog clock!
I'm sure absolutely everyone can reada clock. There are no digital Rolexes

I knew from THE TWILIGHT ZONE COMPANION that it was filmed at Universal City...
Wasn't the first episode filmed at Universal Studios and isn't that the future clock tower? Jerry Lewis used the black lot for his films
❤❤❤❤❤
Mayberry.
Analogous to Black Mirror in modern times.
💚
Secret location? Seriously?
This are of the back lot burned down in 2008, which is why it looks a little different now.
Not that much of a secret since I've known it for over a decade. 🤣
Today's twilight zone location is Wash DC!!!! Serling himself could not write anything that bizarre!!!!!
When you run out of people to meet, you meet yourself.
the hills in the back are the Hollywood Hills, and they can be seen in many shows/movies filmed on the Warner Brothers' lot too, like, for example, in the movie "The Music Man", in which one can not only see the Hollywood Hills surrounding flat River City, Iowa, but also the high voltage towers on the higher sides of the hills, probably the parts off Barham Blvd. as you travel up and over to Cahuenga Blvd.
