T H E T W I L I G H T Z O N E ------------------------------- "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to men. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area we call the Twilight Zone." Thus Rod Serling, creator of the series, and well-known and respected TV playwright, opened each episode of the TV Series, THE TWILIGHT ZONE. The series was highly imaginative, and there was always an atmosphere - a mood - which accompanied each episode. 134 25-minute episodes were made, and 17 fifty-minute episodes, between 1959 and 1963. The following is a list of the 25-minute episodes, with the relevant actors or actresses (some of whom are well known). I have added a brief synopsis of the episode where known. 1 WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
