Odd that while they go back to Twilight Zone & Thriller, Alfred Hitchcock Presents doesn't get a mention. Many of Hitch's stories were genuinely scary, or at least creepy, if there's a difference. For instance, I think "The Glass Eye" is a scarier ventriloquist dummy story than TZ's "The Dummy". Scared the crap out of me!

I remember at least two other Hitchcock episodes that were as creepy as anything I've ever seen. Can't remember the names of them, though.

Fun fact: Ida Lupino directed "The Masks".

For that matter, if "To Serve Man" makes the list, why not Hitch's "Specialty of the House"? Same theme, but no space aliens, hence more plausible, hence scarier.

I think you mean Damon Knight's "To Serve Man" and Stanley Ellin's "Specialty of the House" as adapted (he grumped from under his bridge...damned billy-goats).
