Once upon a time my husband owned a watch which played the Twilight Zone theme. That was the alarm. The Twilight Zone theme.
He’d owned the watch for several years.
As soon as he moved in with me, the very first night in fact, the watch began to alarm at all hours with that awful Twilight Zone theme. It didn’t matter how he set it, all night long, every few hours… Twilight Zone.
The dang thing was frackin’ possessed, that’s what it was! I made him throw it away. Didn’t want a devil possessed watch in my bedroom.
I can’t even look at it…
Can I have the watch? I love the Twilight Zone theme.
I’d have done the same thing. No keeping something possessed around.
We had an old grandfather’s clock that sat on our buffet. It belonged to my husband’s father. At mealtimes, when the kids were growing up, our family would hear it start ticking for no reason. I recently pulled it out of our crawlspace and asked our adult daughters if they wanted the clock. They both reminded me of the creepy ticking it made when they were young. So, no, they didn’t want it. I guess I’ll have to give it to an antique shop to sell. So, what was that? What was that strange alarm business with the twilight zone watch. Doo doo doo doo doo doo….yeah.
Oh Diana, your daughters are sooooo right! Scary! We threw the watch away so I don’t know what the deal was other than demonic possession.
Yes, Amber, totally. Yup.
Roberta, I’m sorry but never! The watch is long gone and I wouldn’t wish it on you! No way!
A watch that played Twilight Zone…that is seriously scary. It was a wise move getting rid of it.
Although my husband would have loved it.
Yes, Sandra, I had to force my husband to toss it! Crazy!
For her birthday one year, our daughter received a clock that played the theme song from X-Files and flashed a little swirling light as the alarm. During a family reunion when she had cousins in sleeping bags all over the basement, she set alarm to go off twice during the night and hid it behind it behind a plant.
Kids have quite a sense of humor.
Oh Marylin! Your daughter is so evil! I would be out of your basement in a flash!
