The Twilight Zone's Cruelest Ending Is Even Worse When You Remember This Scene

As the creator of The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling was responsible for over half the episodes of the TV series, writing a jaw-dropping 92 installments of the show's 156. His episodes veered wildly from some of the most heartfelt and life-affirming ("The Trade-Ins," "A Passage for Trumpet"), the most nostalgic ("Walking Distance"), and the most culturally resonant ("The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," "The Shelter") to some of the creepiest ("The Dummy," "The Hitch-Hiker"). Aside from those achievements, Serling also wrote some genuinely heartbreaking episodes.
