You must have been obsessed with the Twilight Zone, growing up.

No, actually–I’m a bit too young to have known much about that show, actually. The little that I did know about it, I mostly gleaned from pop-culture references, mostly from kids cartoon shows–especially Johnny Bravo, which ripped off so much of that series. 

I did watch the X-files and The Outer Limits, so the “paranormal vignette” genre was hardly an unknown for me, but I wouldn’t say those had as much of an influence on me as some other sources, which were mostly books. The Goosebumps books, Animorphs, and a few other series like that spring to mind, certainly, as well as a lot of Stephen King, Robin Cook, and some Ursula K LeGuin for good measure.
