2/15: The main difference between Twilight Zone: The Movie and the famous TV show is color.

Other than that, the storytelling style remains the same but isn't in the same league as Rod Serling's stuff. The pace is more or less slow with a point that's subtly made.

Of all the vignettes, the prologue, by having the right pace and amount of fun with Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks, is the best until the terrible, idiotic, and cheap finish which is a foreboding of what's to come. A couple of other stories have monsters in them which also cheapens The Twilight Zone experience because I don't remember them being featured in most episodes.

All in all, Twilight Zone: The Movie is much better than either Creepshow or its sequel with the exception of one vignette "The Raft."
