''[[Night Visions]]'' is a ''[[Twilight Zone]]''-esque horror anthology series that ran for 13 episodes in 2001. Each episode features two half-hour stories, generally with a [[Twist Ending]]. [[Henry Rollins]] introduces each story and provides some kind of [[Aesop]] at the end.

* [[An Aesop]]: Delivered in no uncertain terms at the end of each episode. Almost always [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop|questionable]], [[Broken Aesop|broken]] or just outright [[Space Whale Aesop|weird]].
* [[And I Must Scream]]: In "Switch," a woman seeing a psychiatrist to find her alternate personality and eliminate it found that [[And Then John Was a Zombie|she WAS the alternate]], created by her child-like real self after her parents died when she was five. The real twist?  {{spoiler|She murdered them. The episode ended with this woman -- trapped in her mind, unable to speak, and unable to move -- totally encased in eight big hollow bricks that spelled out "ETERNITY," with holes only for her forearms.}}
* [[Amazing Freaking Grace]]: In "Harmony," the residents of a town recite "Amazing Grace" because they think music summons a monster. When a stranger convinces them that music is safe, they sing instead.
**  {{spoiler|[[Cruel Twist Ending|And then it turns out a monster ''is'' summoned when there's music, and it eats them.]]}}
* [[Cruel Twist Ending]]
* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]]
* [[Empathic Healer]]: "Now He's Coming Up the Stairs" stars Luke Perry as a psychotherapist with the ability to absorb his patients' mental disorders. 
* [[Karmic Twist Ending]]
* [[Made for TV Movie]]: Four unaired episodes -- "Patterns," "The Maze," "Harmony," and "Voices" -- were edited into a movie, ''Shadow Realm'', minus the introductions and aesops by [[Henry Rollins]].
* [[Madness Mantra]]: In "Now He's Coming Up the Stairs":
{{quote|"Now he's coming through the woods, now he's coming through the yard, now he's coming up the stairs..."}}
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|"My So-Called Life and Death"}} ends with the main character {{spoiler|realizing that the man she thought was a ghost is actually alive, and it's her and her family who are dead.}}
* [[Unwanted Revival]]: In "After Life," a man who revives during his own funeral misses the perfect, beautiful heaven he had moved on to.
