You unlock this door with a key of imagination. The scene then cuts to outside the car as the familiar Twilight Zone opening theme music and monologue begin (spoken by narrator Burgess Meredith): The passenger turns his face away, then turns back around having transformed into a monster and attacks the driver.

The passenger then asks the driver, 'Do you want to see something really scary?' The driver obliges and reluctantly pulls over.

The conversation turns to what episodes of the series they found most scary, such as Burgess Meredith in ' Time Enough at Last' and other classics. With no tape or radio, the pair start a Name That Tune game with television theme songs such as Sea Hunt and Hawaii Five-O, and eventually the classic theme to The Twilight Zone. After the passenger admits he's uncomfortable, the driver laughs it off and keeps the lights on. The driver talks about a scary game he finds amusing: he switches off the car's headlights and drives in the dark. The film starts with a driver ( Albert Brooks) and his passenger ( Dan Aykroyd) driving very late at night, singing along to Creedence Clearwater Revival's cover of ' Midnight Special' on a cassette, and the song ends when the tape breaks.

Dante recalled that in the film's original conception the three stories would be interwoven with characters from one segment would appear in another segment, but later problems with the film precluded this.
