While making this, I had a bit of a story playing in my head. I wanted to paint the picture of a man that seems normal and innocent on the surface, but in reality he is demented and kidnaps young women, forces them into things, then kills them and buries them all in the same place. To openly clarify, I OF COURSE DO NOT advocate for this kind of behavior, I just noticed that the titles of the episodes leaned into a creepy, unsettling, suspenseful vibe. In this poem, you’re introduced to Mr. Garrity, who seems to be a young, clean and happy gentleman. Quickly you find that he’s looking for victims and can’t find one until a lost little girl passes by. The following lines portray him doing the kidnapping her in the dark. After that, a list of different ways of viewing this girl in different tones and perspectives are listed, hoping to portray the idea that the man is genuinely deranged and doesn’t even know how he sees his own targets anymore. It wraps up with the man noticing the time and realizing it’s getting late and just in time he’s able to kill the girl and bury her.
This is a really creative assignment and you did really well on this! It is really cool how these seemingly unrelated episode titles can become an eerie and suspenseful poem.
THAT is great creepiness! Just in the tone of the Twilight Zone! Great Job! And you explained your process and the backstory really well. You inspire me to try it sometime. Twilight Zone is an all-time favorite of mine and I’ve always loved the titles–just never thought about making them a story!
