The Fith Dimension

Twilight Zone fans watching S4 of Stranger Things when they notice a mysterious spooky floating interdimensional grandfather clock

Let us not forget the absolute king of alternate realities and weird ass dimensions where fucking weird things happen

i learned that the Twilight Zone was created after Rod Serling’s teleplay inspired by Emmett Till’s murder was heavily censored by networks and advertisers. The censorship led Serling to rethink his approach and delve into the era’s social issues through a filter of science fiction and fantasy (x)

The main alien in “To Serve Man” looks like Michael Shannon and I’m tired of ignoring it

If you ever think you're 'too messed up' to create something successful, please direct your attention to Rod Serling, the creator of the original Twilight Zone. Rod had severe PTSD from his time fighting during the second world war, and much of The Twilight Zone is closely based on his personal struggles with that. He also was something of a controversial figure in the world of television scripts, due to his political activism and tendency to write scripts that touched uncomfortably close to home on issues or events of the time.

A man's desire, his need to connect with others on both a physical and emotional level. It is a powerful driving force, able to draw several different individuals from across the city, or perhaps from across the entire globe.

twilight zone episode but rod serling looks like this at the end

i still love how americans will talk about shows like the addams family or the original twilight zone as being low budget

The best episode of The Twilight Zone is the one where a bunch fancy dudes in a fancy club are hanging out and one young guy talks a lot, so an old rich guy says “If you can not talk for an entire year I’ll give you X amount of money”
