Fridge / The Twilight Zone (1959) S5E30: "Stopover in a Quiet Town"

Fridge Horror

• This sets in when you think about how kids often trap fireflies in jars, with no food, water, or unless they poke holes in the top, air. One can imagine that the events of this episode take place before all that sets in for the Fraziers...
• While the Frazier's situation is horrifying, one can only imagine what their friends and family will feel about their disappearance.
  • Imagine, your friend/family member got smashed at a party, drove off and is never seen or heard from again. As they likely will never guess Alien Abduction was involved, they will likely assumed that they were either kidnapped or crashed in an unknown location and their bodies were never found.
  • Also, let's just hope that the Fraziers are childless. If not, imagine a small child, who's parents went to a party and never came back. In addition, this may be an additional Fridge Horror to the Fraziers, as not only are they trapped and with no hope of escape but if they ever DO have a child together, that child will be doomed to the same awful fate they have.
• Who says only the Fraziers met this fate. Given the fact the episode never explores outside the family home, it's possible that this was a full blown invasion.
• On a similar note, what's going on on earth? It's unlikely a giant hand hovering over earth wouldn't have been noticed by someone even if they don't know someone got abducted in the process.
