Night Gallery

2006-12-27T05:53:25Z

When I was 12 and 13 years old It was through Stephen King and Peter Straub that I became addicted to Twilight Zone from reruns on network television but I hadn't connected with Serling's writings on a personal level until I gave TZ and Night Gallery my full attention on early morning syndication. I got it, very early on. The human condition, portraying social inequities, hypocrisy in religion, and issues related to racism. These are the same 'futuristic' themes that later attracted me to Star Trek, Star Wars, Space 1999 and Battlestar Galactica ("eeby-deeby-deeby"). I believe it was the King/Straub unapologetic use of supernatural themes to disguise the ugly (or grotesque, or perverse) truth that each of us can relate to, but we never speak about out loud.

Night Gallery presented a combination of those tales of perverse and unmentionable life situations, combined with that creepy and wondrous edge that only Rod Serling could provide. Not even Alfred Hitchcock, IMHO, has ever been able to generate anything near the same chilling 'buzz' of supernatural excitement that a rerun of Rod introducing a Night Gallery (or TZ) episode can.

Twilight Zone: Planet of the Apes

http://theforbidden-zone.com/media/tzone.shtml

"What great fun! Serling's voice and outlook come through splendidly and the story genuinely plays like a TWILIGHT ZONE episode. The style of acting, shot composition, music, everything fits the style of the ZONE, and it's even got a timely message. There were always only 156 episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE... now you can say there are 157."

Serling on Congress

“You listen to what is said in Congress and you wonder how some of those men got there. Well, obviously, they got there by dropping out of high school.”

The Tools of Conquest

2005-07-02T19:23:19Z

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, and explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, ideas, predjudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, predjudices can kill and suspicion can destroy. A thoughtless, freightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all it's own for the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, is that these things can not be confined to the Twilight Zone."
