Twilight Zone 50th anniversary screening event at the Egyptian tonight. The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling’s sci-fi TV anthology series celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

And now, for my all-time favorite spooky TV Intro--the old Twilight Zone series. I loved to be scared by that show! They had some interesting ideas for spooky scripts back then, I think: the creepy Talking Teena doll, the little girl who was stuck inside another dimension in the wall of her home, the giant child playing with the humans who were trapped in a fake town, the creature on the wing of the...
