Good day to all you pack rats!

Today is Pack Rat Day!!!! I'm a bit of a pack rat myself... but that's not the point of this post!!! Anyway, today in English class we watch Twilight Zone, Season 1, Episode 22, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. It really kind of freaked me out. The basic plot line is that this weird thing passed over Maple St. and the adults say it a meteor and the kids say its a UFO, and then the power goes out and the cars won't start. The kids are all like "Its the aliens!" and the adults are like, "Its the meteor!" and then they believe its aliens, and that there are a few among them. Then everyone gets suspicious of everyone else, and they shoot this one guy because its dark and they think hes an alien. The end is what kind of freaked me out, because it shows two guys on a mountain and they're like, "Same thing everytime, shut the power off, turn a few things on and off a few times, and they go crazy trying to figure out who it is. Nothing unique about this place. There's thousand of other Maple Streets out there. Lets go.", and then a spaceship takes off. It was really weird.

  1. It was a weird episode.. Aren't you sick of how in English, all the packets and stuff we get are references to it? It's irritating me.
