I finally saw this episode courtesy of netflix and you were right! It IS motherfucking BOSS! My fiance freaked out no less than a dozen times as Beanes’ disembodied head shouted copious dialogue at Mr. Braaaaaand. The whole ’stepping around the trash can in mid pursuit’ was great as well.

I became a fan because of your article. But now that I’ve seen it, I’m even more hardcore about it. I shall spread the word…..

Man this episode did the same to me twenty something years ago! I think I saw it twice because of an encore the next week or something. That final scene scared the shit out of me when I was a kid and has always been a vivid memory. I am so glad they are releasing these finally! Anyway nice site and info!

Thank you for posting this review! I had been hoping I could find someone else who remembered that episode and who had more information about it, but I hadn’t expected to find anything so detailed. I loved watching the clips, and having my memories of Lloyd’s gleeful performance confirmed. I was also in elementary school when this aired, and it stuck with me just as powerfully. Every mention of Christopher Lloyd since then has had me fondly remembering this particular role. I don’t seem to remember any other Amazing Stories episodes, unfortunately. Well, except for Mirror, Mirror: I’d forgotten that one until coming across descriptions of it tonight, and now it hits me that I, too, spent a good while freaked out about mirrors, after seeing it.

WOW-Great Site! This was my favorite Amazing Stories episode as a kid and it’s still scary! If anyone is interested, I’m actually selling an official vintage 1987 Digital Laserdisc copy of this episode. The disc is in mint condition and includes a 12×12inch fullcolor slip case. In addition to the episode, GO TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS, there is also the animated Amazing Stories episode titled, FAMILY DOG.

My brother and I used to rent the videos of Amazing Stories when we were kids and so many of the episodes left me scarred for life. Even ones that didn’t seem creepy at first would often have a scary twist at the end and I don’t think there’s a single episode that I watched that hasn’t marked me. “Go to the head of the class” was by far the one that traumatised me the most though (along with one episode where a man starts having psychic visions of murders… can’t recall the details but I still have images of the killer using a wire to strangle his victims).

Anyway, I’m now in mixed state of childhood nostalgia and too scared to go to bed as I know I’ll have nightmares now. In the meantime, I’m now going to download as many old episodes as I can find in the hopes that rewatching them will cure my trauma.

This was a great episode, but I still have to give the nod to the B-17 belly gunner who had to imagine the landing gear. -I think Kevin Costner was in that episode(?)
