TONIGHT on ME-TV @ 12:35am EST, one of the most EXISTENTIAL episodes of THE TWILIGHT ZONE: “AND WHEN THE SKY WAS OPENED” (written by Rod Serling, based on the short story “Disappearing Act” by Richard Matheson, originally broadcast December 11, 1959) Rod Serling’s first Twilight Zone adaptation of a story by esteemed science fiction writer Richard Matheson changed its original, generic domestic setting to that of the space race, as a better vehicle to explore the story’s nature of identity—conflating the loss of it with the loss of one’s actual, corporeal self. Following a crash landing back on earth, we watch in stunned disbelief as the three surviving astronauts, one by one (spoiler alert!), literally disappear into thin air, along with all memory of their existence. That indescribable, unsettling feeling of not “belonging” to reality is a very existential one, something never before played out on television (or film), and would not enter the popular culture again until the mid-to-late ‘60s, when the counter-cultural use of mind-altering psychedelic drugs like LSD and marijuana metaphysically transported their users with similar out-of-body experiences. Originally, lead actor Rod Taylor’s disappearing scene “was written as a very painful experience, but I decided to make it a very euphoric experience,” recalled director Douglas Heyes in Marc Scott Zicree’s Twilight Zone Companion. “Instead of playing it for terror or agony—everything had been fear up till then, fear of disappearing, fear of the unknown, and so forth—I said to Rod Taylor, ‘Let’s play this as if this is the most marvelous thing that’s ever happened.’” Taylor’s ability to fulfill Heyes’ direction so convincingly is just one example of what became a standard on The Twilight Zone: performances so intense and driven that you can see the belief of the unbelievable on actors’ faces, from the sweat naturally beading on their brows to the absolutely crazed look in their eyes. arlenschumer.com/twilight-zone #rodserling #twilightzone #thetwilightzone #richardmatheson #rodtaylor #arlenschumer #tv #television #tvhistory #televisionhistory @dgareps @nyadventureclub @the_richardsyrettshow https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxVgpXrbcm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
