Are these scenes from TV Westerns or 'The Twilight Zone'?

Wanted: TV fans who call it a draw when they have to choose between suspense and westerns.

 
For TV fans who love suspense, it doesn't get much better than classic Westerns. With guns drawn, stakes high and bad guys to be thrown behind bars, few genres could compete with the Western's heartracing quickdraws.

That is, until The Twilight Zone premiered in 1959. Suddenly, choosing a channel at certain times became as stressful as the approach of high noon.

If you're the kind of viewer who struggles to choose between the wild, wild west and Rod Serling's twisted Western landscapes, this quiz is for you. In it, we explore the merger between both worlds, showing you scenes that could feasibly come from either a popular TV Western or The Twilight Zone
