From The Twilight Zone (old), if anyone has the pleasure of viewing, watch for these two episodes:

Episode 84 - The Hunt

Hyder Simpson and his dog Rip dive into a lake after a raccoon. Only the raccoon emerges. He and Rip awaken the next morning next to the lake. When he gets home he finds that no one can see or hear him, not even his wife - they all think he's dead. He finds a fence beside the graveyard and follows it to a gate. The man at the gate tells him it is the gate to Heaven, but dogs aren't allowed. Hyder takes Rip and leaves. Further down the road he meets an angel. The angel explains that the gate was actually the gate to Hell, and Rip wasn't allowed in because he could have smelled the brimstone.

*I adore this episode because when Hyder is at the first gate, the Devil was telling about all the wonderful things in "heaven" but that dogs weren't allowed. Hyder says something like, "Anywhere my dog can't go, ain't the place for me." Then when he comes to the second gate, you realize that his dog saved him from going to hell. (Anyone else seeing the Dog/God connection??)

Episode 97 - The Gift

A human-looking alien crash lands outside a village, and accidentally kills a police officer, and is wounded by another one. He staggers to a local bar and collapses. A local doctor removes the bullets from him, and he befriends a young boy sweeping up the floor. He gives the boy, Pedro, a gift. He says he will explain it later. The alien is cornered trying to escape and he tells Pedro to show them the gift, but they grab it from him and burn it. The soldiers shoot and kill the alien. The doctor reads whats left of the gift. It says, "Greetings to the people of Earth. We come... in peace. We bring you this gift. The following chemical formula is... a vaccine against all forms of cancer..."

*I like this episode because it represents what ignorance and fear ultimately accomplish.
