Synopsis Of The Show ----------------------- Each week different stories would be told involving Horror, Science Fiction and the Supernatual. Most of these stories were to come from the vivid imagination of its creator and presenter "Rod Serling." The stories nearly always had a twist in the tail, so that you were never sure just exactly what was going to happen. Background Info ------------------ The Twilight Zone is rightly regarded as a milestone in television entertainment, as well as being one of the first anthology shows of its type. Created and presented by famous American writer, Rod Serling, the show still stands up today as one of the most imaginative and sharply scripted series ever. For five years, Serling produced a top- notch teleplay a week, maintaining an extraordinarily rigorous schedule. Though many installments were written by others, pricipally Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont, Rod Serling was the main writer. He would write an original Twilight Zone script in thirty-five to forty hours. He rarely used a typewriter, preferring to dictate a first draft into a tape recorder; a secretary would type it and he would then tighten it up. That was it. But these were not formula shows - no stock jokes, no chases, no fights, no monsters, just pure imagination. Some of the stories reached classic status, such as the episode entitled, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", which had "William Shatner" as a man with a fear of flying, who witnesses a Gremlin land on the wing of his plane, but everytime he tries to tell someone about it, the creature disappears. This was classic fantasy/horror at its best. From time to time the Twilight Zone is repeated on tv, and even after all these years, it still wins itself new fans, mainly due to its writing, acting, atmosphere and genuine overall quality. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Season: 1959-1960. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
