If you happen to find yourself traveling through another dimension of sight, sound and mind then you must have crossed over into The Twilight Zone. Where your only boundaries are that of your imagination. Where nothing is as it seems and nothing seems as it should. Where there's an odd man standing in the corner highlighting the points of your life that got you to this very moment and place in time - The Twilight Zone.
Beginning in 1958, The Twilight Zone's Rod Serling had a generation of TV viewers second-guessing everything for 30 minutes only to twist the story in an unimaginable direction. The original series holds 156 shows, many written by Rod Serling himself. In every episode you are dropped into an ordinary place at an ordinary time with ordinary people. But as the clock ticks it becomes apparent that there is nothing ordinary about anything, until the mind-blowing ending where nothing happens as you would assume.
In the beginning Rod introduces you, the viewer, to the person of interest. This person can be on a country drive, in a hospital awaiting test results or simply tidying up their meager home. Soon it becomes apparent that either that country drive is on an unending road, a road to a town they can't escape from or you just realize for some reason the main character isn't speaking. By the end of the show the woman in the car turns out to be a child's toy. A simple child's doll named Talking Tina protects her young owner from an abusive step-father by tripping him while he's going down the stairs. The man who claims to see a creature on the wing of an airplane is labeled as crazy but what's with the bizarre damage on that wing? A man thinks the figurines in a museum's dollhouse come to life and in the end becomes one of the figurines himself! And there's over 150 more where that came from!
The Twilight Zone has transcended the generations. Faithful fans from back in the day and newcomers alike can take part in this journey of the mind every year during Sci-Fi Channel's Twilight Zone marathon during New Years. In 1983 a movie was made with four distinct 'episodes' that took their inspiration from original episodes of the show. Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios resurrects Rod Serling in a thrilling free fall in the Hollywood Hotel. These tributes to the original Twilight Zone make this show an icon in television history.
