"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge in two forms: as it was dreamed, and as it was lived and died." #S5E22 Twilight Zone's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Robert Enrico (based on the story of the same name by Ambrose Bierce) stars Roger Jacquet.

"Let me in! Let me in! The president's going to be shot tonight!" #S2E13 Twilight Zone's "Back There" by Rod Serling stars Russell Johnson, three years before he became the Professor on "Gilligan's Island." It's also the second of his two TZs (after Season 1's "Execution").

A tip of the birthday hat to H.P. Lovecraft, who would've been 134 today. His wild imagination fueled two of the best Night Gallery segments: "Cool Air" (adapted by Rod Serling) and "Pickman's Model." Both of them are on the Season 2 discs: amzn.to/2CVxqNW

"I have something for you. A small remembrance of our friendship. It's a stopwatch." #S5E4 Twilight Zone's "A Kind of Stopwatch" by Rod Serling stars Richard Erdman.

“Let me give you some advice: Don't think about it. You think about it, you'll crack up.” #S2E26 Kind of applies to life in general! Twilight Zone's "Shadow Play" by Charles Beaumont stars Dennis Weaver and William Edmonson.

"I don't know when I fell asleep, but all of a sudden I wasn't at home anymore. I was at an amusement park." #S1E9 Twilight Zone's "Perchance to Dream" by Charles Beaumont stars Richard Conte, Suzanne Lloyd, and John Larch.

I’ve been a fan of Tom’s podcast from the start. Really looking forward to seeing my friend at SerlingFest next month! His presentation sounds fascinating.

“A man, well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open. But even the Devil can't fool a dog.” Happy #NationalDogDay! #S3E19 Twilight Zone's "The Hunt" by Earl Hamner, Jr. stars Arthur Hunnicut. And Rip. 🐶

"...Come in, Central Control ... The ship's destroyed! Incredible race of giants here! ..." #S2E15 Twilight Zone's "The Invaders" by Richard Matheson stars Agnes Moorehead.

It was the ghastly murder of poor Emmett Till that prompted Rod Serling to try and dramatize his story in a teleplay called "Noon on Doomsday." When the censors eviscerated his work, it set Rod on a path to creating The Twilight Zone where he could make his points allegorically.

"I was driving along somewhere above Riverdale. You were asleep in the backseat. And then something ... a shadow, or something, enveloped the car. That's all I remember." #S5E30 Twilight Zone’s "Stopover in a Quiet Town" by Earl Hamner Jr. stars Barry Nelson and Nancy Malone.

Seriously. Have we learned nothing from TZ, people?! 😁

"It's progress, Mr. Dickerson. Out with the old, in with the new. Automation." #S5E33 Happy #LaborDay, my fellow Zone-iacs! #LaborDay2024 #LaborDayWeekend2024 Twilight Zone's "The Brain Center at Whipple's" stars Richard Deacon.

"This is rather a special place, with special statuary and special paintings, and they carry with them a coldness that seems to go best in a crypt, or in a place like this, called ... the Night Gallery." — Rod Serling
