Guide: TV’s Twilight Zone, Part 23 by
Marc Scott Zicree
--In June’s TZ
-Carol Serling begins her occasional column by
quoting from TZ writer Charles Beaumont’s essay of television commentary, “The
Seeing I,” which appeared in the December, 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and
Science Fiction. Beaumont’s essay is
important as an insider’s account of the creation of The Twilight Zone, as well as a signal for the type of
intelligent fantasy produced on the series. It comes recommended to those
interested in TZ on a creative level. Carol Serling uses Beaumont’s essay to illustrate
the ways in which Beaumont’s hopeful musings on the series have become reality,
as the series has remained popular and led to off-shoots such as TZ Magazine.
-Serling next highlights activity within the TZ community, including the magazine celebrating its second anniversary, the publication of Marc Scott Zicree’s The Twilight Zone Companion, and the upcoming release of Twilight Zone: The Movie. The remainder of Serling’s column is dedicated to introducing new readers to the magazine by outlining the magazine’s thematic goals and content. An interesting aspect of this portion of the column is that Serling emphasizes that TZ Magazine does not publish stories of “exploitative melodrama in which ‘oceans of gore compete with oceans of bile evoked.’ There will be no sadism and violence for the titillation it brings, none of the gimmickry of Hollywood horror.” TZ Magazine later became a showcase for, if not the birthplace of, the so-called “splatterpunk” movement and devoted a great amount of space to horror fiction as the 1980s became oversaturated with horror in publishing. The magazine did, however, create a sister publication, Night Cry, to exclusively feature horror content in order to keep TZ Magazine more diverse in its offerings.
-Serling concludes her column by quoting an early and unused version of Rod Serling’s opening narration for the first season of TZ, and calls on readers to write to the magazine to express their opinions on the magazine’s contents.
--In the Twilight Zone: “Winners . . .” by T.E.D. Klein
-For the editorial staff, the highlight of this
issue is the second annual TZ Story Contest, and Klein makes note of the number
of entries, the winners, and the general difficulty in selecting the most
outstanding stories. For this year, instead of giving out first, second, and
third prizes for the contest, the editorial staff of the magazine, who selected
the winners, decided to split the first-prize money among three entries.
Another winning story, a short-short, is included in the issue as well. Klein’s
editorial is rounded out in the usual way, with capsule biographies and
comments on the issue’s contributors. I noted last issue that Mignon Glass,
author of that issue’s story, “A Chance Affair,” was left out of Klein’s
editorial. Klein corrects that oversight here, providing a photo of Glass and
explaining that info on Glass was left out last issue because her story was a
last-minute addition.
-The theme of Gahan Wilson’s film review column this
issue is that fantasy (and horror and science fiction) films are only made to
make money, that an ability to make money is the sole consideration when
developing a film of this type. The result is a sharp decline in quality since
films are generally no longer being produced for the value of their concepts.
Wilson’s targets are three horror films, of varying quality.
-The first film Wilson reviews is Q, a giant monster on the prowl in New York City film from low-budget specialist Larry Cohen. Wilson felt that this one should have been killed at the initial discussion stages. He’s probably correct in this assessment, as the film was neither monetarily successful nor received with anything approaching positive critical reception. The film follows a well-worn formula that goes all the way back to the silent era with The Lost World (1925). Wilson’s assessment: “Q is, essentially, one of those horror movies made by people who feel superior to horror movies, and that hardly ever works. The sillier your monster the more seriously you have to take him, especially if you’re kidding around.”
-Next, Wilson looks at Halloween III: Season of the Witch, notable for being the only Halloween film in the franchise without the masked murderer Michael Myers. This tale of witchcraft and a crazed maker of Halloween masks has found a more appreciative audience in recent years but the film was only moderately successful at the time it was released, and Michael Myers was brought back for the fourth installment on. Wilson laments the fact that although the film was initially scripted by Nigel Kneale, the talented scenarist behind numerous British horror and science fiction films and television programs, Kneale’s script was heavily rewritten and his contributions were minimized in the finished film. Wilson’s assessment of the performers: “The cast is not very good, and the characters they’re trying to play are – even for a movie of this kind – extremely unconvincing. The villain is played by the only real actor in sight, Dan O’Herlihy, and while he does manage to infuse the character with a nice loony chilliness, the creature is so ill-defined and fuzzy that he’s got almost nothing to work with.”
-Finally, Wilson looks at Creepshow, the horror anthology film from Stephen King and George Romero that has already featured in multiple issues of TZ Magazine. The film was treated to a full-color screen preview in the September, 1982 issue. For those interested, I wrote about it at length in my post on that issue.
-Although Wilson found the film very much to his liking, he reiterates the idea that the film was made as a money-grab. He writes: “This is perhaps one of the most unabashed grabs for cash ever to hit your local theater, but there’s such innocent greed about it all that it’s hard to take offense.” This is a strange assessment for a nostalgic, off-beat, independently produced horror anthology film. In any case, Wilson enjoyed the film and singled out the penultimate segment of the film, “The Crate,” as his personal favorite.
-Wilson concludes the column with a brief recommendation for Still of the Night, reviewed in the magazine for the March, 1982 issue under the film’s original title, Stab.
--Other Dimensions: Books by Thomas M. Disch
-Disch’s column strikes a similar tone to that of
Gahan Wilson’s, in the sense that Disch begins his column by decrying the
amount of low-quality material being published as well as how much of it falls
into the horror genre. Disch quotes Shakespeare’s Macbeth to indicate that too much horror eventually, and inevitably, numbs one
to horror’s intended effects. Disch offers his thoughts on the following books:
-The Deathstone by Ken Eulo: “What sinks Eulo’s book to the rock-bottom of the sophistication spectrum (from sappy to savvy) is the style of his reenactment, a style that is equal parts soap-opera mawkish and button-pushing portentous, graduating to dithering hysteria for the big moments.”
-The Voice of Our Shadow by Jonathan Carroll: “Carroll’s second novel . . . is a preppy ghost story as decorously conventional and capably tailored as a Brooks Brothers suit.”
-Different Seasons by Stephen King: “. . . is a collection of four quite separate tales, only one of which (and that, thankfully, the shortest) failed to shiver my timbers perceptibly. The other three, in ascending order both of length and personal preference, are: ‘Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,’ a quietly paranoid curtain-raiser that persuaded me never to be framed for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment; ‘The Body,’ a vivid if sometimes self-consciously ‘serious’ account of the rites of passage practiced by the aboriginal teenagers of Maine’s lower-middles classes . . . finally, the hands-down winner of the four and, I think, King’s most accomplished piece of fiction at any length, ‘Apt Pupil.’”
-Nightflyer by Christopher Fahy: “. . . is a shamelessly satisfying fantasy of a twerp who turns into an avenger by achieving out-of-body flight, zapping all the bullies who’d been kicking sand in his face and then zapping . . . but that would be telling.”
-Disch concludes the column with a look at the year’s annuals. These include: Fantasy Annual V, ed. Terry Carr, The Year’s Best Fantasy Stories 8, ed. Arthur W. Saha, and The Year’s Best Horror Stories: Series X, ed. Karl Edward Wagner. Finally, Disch recommends The Gothic Novel: Plot Summaries and Index to Motifs by Ann B. Tracy, concluding his column with a lengthy quote from Tracy on Rosalviva or, The Demon Dwarf by Grenville Fletcher (1824).
--Other Dimensions: Video by Joel A. Samberg
-This article is an interesting capsule of a time
when home video was in its infancy. Samberg’s goal is to trace the availability
of fantasy and science fiction television on home video. He finds that there is
very little of it available. The only TZ episode then-available was “An
Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” which was not produced on the series but only
featured during the fifth season. Samberg gives no indication about what I was
most curious about, this being whether or not the video included Rod Serling’s
narrations for TZ.
-The general lack of availability of quality fantasy films and television on home video resulted in a rise in piracy, with owners using their VCRs to record programs from local television stations, including fantasy television programs shown in syndication. Samberg’s article largely becomes a discussion of this trend toward piracy, detailing the methods used to record programs and the ways in which pirated copies of films and television shows are bought and sold in the classified pages of video journals. Samberg interviews a handful of video dealers and editors of industry publications, providing detailed addresses for each.
--Other Dimensions: The ‘Heroes and Heavies’ Quiz Revisited
Compiled by
Kathleen Murray
-This quiz presents the heroes and the villains from
a number of fantasy films with the challenge to the reader to match the actors
to each other. The difference in this quiz and the previous ‘Heroes and
Heavies’ quiz is that this one includes the titles of the films to offer a hint
to the reader. The quiz and the answers are below.
--Other Dimensions: Etc.
-The news and notes section of the magazine provides
another update on Twilight Zone: The Movie, detailing
Joe Dante’s remake of “It’s a Good Life” and George Miller’s remake of
“Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” Cast and crew information, including cameos, are reported
alongside photographs from the set. Next, editor and literary historian Mike
Ashley, who has previously written profiles of classic horror authors for the
magazine, details the sixtieth anniversary of Weird Tales, the progenitor of all American fantasy
magazines. Ashley gives a potted history of the magazine and provides details
on the notable stories and authors featured in the magazine’s pages. Ashley
previously compiled a Weird Tales reprint
anthology for the British market titled Weird Legacies (1977).
-As an aside, Ashley repeats a commonly held notion that the early years of the magazine, under editor Farnsworth Wright, were far better than the later years of the magazine under editor Dorothy McIlwraith. This is generally because the “big three” of Weird Tales, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith, published under Wright. This is well and good, but considering the authors who published in Weird Tales under McIlwraith’s editorship, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson, Fritz Leiber, Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore, Manly Wade Wellman, Theodore Sturgeon, Joseph Payne Brennan, Anthony Boucher, Fredric Brown, to name a few, those later issues certainly should not be dismissed.
-The section continues with numerous examples of newspaper headlines and comic strips featuring the term “Twilight Zone,” as well as details on an unusual item sent to the TZ offices by a reader of the magazine. Finally, TZ’s film critic, James Verniere, reports back from a set visit to David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, sharing his interview with actor James Woods.
“The
celebrated author of The Outsider has
some outsider’s opinions of his own – as his views on ghosts and poltergeists
make clear.”
-Interviewer Lisa Tuttle begins with a brief summation of Colin Wilson’s career. Wilson generally worked in four areas. He wrote science fiction/horror novels, literary/social criticism, true crime, and books on paranormal or occult subjects. The two works that Wilson was preparing at the time give good indication of his interests, a mammoth encyclopedia of world crime and a book on an American man who claims to be able to access his unconscious mind.
-Since Wilson’s latest book at the time was Poltergeist, and since he claimed in that book to be convinced that poltergeists were real and not the product of the human mind, the interview is largely given over to his views on the subject. Wilson later opens up about his upbringing and his life before his first great success, The Outsider, a hugely successful survey of outsider artists, their thoughts, behaviors, and effect on society. Wilson then describes his life after the publication of this work, when he went from an unknown to an “overnight” sensation in literary circles. Wilson details how his follow-up works failed to live up to the expectations set by The Outsider, how this damaged a reputation he did not wish to have, and how it ultimately freed him to write the sort of books he desired to write. Wilson spends a good deal of time on the functions of the mind and its effects on the self. Wilson admits to never having seen a ghost and gives a generally negative opinion on the state of science fiction, which he does not read. Curiously absent are direct comments on Wilson’s novels and other works of fiction. Although he speaks briefly about his time working in the film industry writing screenplays, it would have been nice to get his thoughts on the creation of such interesting works as The Mind Parasites (1967), The Philosopher’s Stone (1969), and The Space Vampires (1976).
-Overall, Wilson strikes the reader as a cultured, highly intelligent man who, nevertheless, seemed to be strongly drawn to every aspect of the paranormal and occult, devoting enormous amounts of energy to its study. He does not seem to arrive at this from the position of an interested observer, like Charles Fort, but from a genuine desire to believe such things as ghosts, poltergeists, telepathy, dual selves, etc.
--A Colin Wilson Sampler by Colin Wilson
“Through
nearly three decades of writing, Wilson has explored the frontiers of human
knowledge and the fringes of human behavior, searching for the awesome powers
locked within our skulls.”
-This is an engrossing, fast-paced survey of Colin Wilson’s literary output, presented in the form of thematic extracts from Wilson’s works. The commentary is taken from a number of Wilson’s books and covers such subjects as poltergeists, human ancestors, H.P. Lovecraft, the tyranny of the present (as a state of mind), optimism, the vision of “the outsider,” the identity of “the outsider,” the success of the book The Outsider, The Lord of the Rings, telepathy in infants, and the appeal of the occult and the forbidden. Although the reader is likely to disagree with a number of Wilson’s viewpoints, it still makes for absorbing, fascinating reading. It is no wonder Wilson sold as many books as he did during his lifetime, and why he is still highly regarded in some literary circles to this day.
--Presenting the Winners from Our Second Annual Short Story Contest
-Chosen by the editors of The Twilight Zone Magazine; stories illustrated by Yvonne Buchanan
“A trio of
prizewinners – and a bonus short-short – showcasing four exceptional new
talents.”
“The Journey” by Abbie Herrick
-A family (father, mother, daughter) live out of
their car, a 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood, and seem to be on an endless road
journey, coming from nowhere and headed toward nowhere. The car represents
something different to each member of the family. For the father, it is a
status symbol, the last sliver of his dwindling pride. For the mother, it is a
prison and a constant reminder of their lot in life. For the perpetually
carsick young girl it is a monster, carrying them away to strange new lands.
“Critique” by Brian Ferguson
-Students bring objects to a classroom for
show-and-tell. John brings a dove. Other students “critique” the bird by
mutilating it with sharp implements. Then it is another student’s turn to show
what they have brought to class. It is a tiny chipmunk. John smiles and readies
his switchblade.
“Evening in the Park” by Susan Rooke
-A young woman in a loveless marriage leaves her
house after an argument with her husband and heads to the local park. It is
after dark and the woman believes she is alone in the park. She is therefore
surprised to discover an old woman sitting close by that she did not notice
before. The young woman does not realize that the old woman is a fairy and able
to grant wishes. The young woman wastes her wishes on common things (light, a
television, etc.) when she could have wished for an entirely new life. The
young woman heads back home, never to see the fairy again.
“Say Goodbye to Judy” by William B. Barfield
-The narrator describes a woman he has always loved,
the titular Judy, in a way that suggests that Judy fell in love with another
man and then died in a car crash. Turns out, the narrator is not attending
Judy’s funeral but rather her wedding, and he is losing her not to death but to
marriage.
--“5th Dimension” by Scott Edelman
Illustrated by
E.T. Steadman
“The old TV
had extraordinarily good reception – it reached all the way to The Twilight
Zone.”
-Scott Edelman, a reader of TZ Magazine, writes to the editor, T.E.D. Klein, complaining that Marc Scott Zicree’s show-by-show guide to The Twilight Zone neglected to included several TZ episodes that he has recently watched on his television. Klein writes off to Zicree, who has no knowledge of the episodes Edelman is referring to. Klein receives some very convincing photographs from Edelman. Finally, Klein writes off to Carol Serling, indicating that Edelman is receiving new episodes of The Twilight Zone straight from the afterlife.
-This was a fun and clever imagining of what sort of episodes Rod Serling would have created for The Twilight Zone had the show been given a sixth season, or beyond. Scott Edelman has enjoyed a long career as a fan, writer, and editor in the fields of comics, television, fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Edelman currently hosts the podcast, Eating the Fantastic, in which he shares a meal with a notable figure from comics, science fiction, fantasy, or horror, and records their conversation. “5th Dimension” was collected in These Words Are Haunted (2001).

“Just beyond
the door lay a world of death and horror – and the hardest part was keeping it
out of his home.”
-This was a highly ambiguous tale, almost a mood-piece, but still very effective. The world it describes, one of war, societal conflict, disease, and governmental corruption feels awfully familiar. Juleen Brantingham returns to the pages of TZ after appearing in the November, 1981 issue with “The Old Man’s Room.” Brantingham also appeared in the Carol Serling-edited anthology, Adventures in the Twilight Zone (1995) with “The House at the Edge of the World.”
“Can a
three-hundred-year-old man find happiness with a six-thousand-year-old woman?
David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve are about to reveal the answer. James
Verniere reports.”
-The (don’t call it a) vampire film The Hunger gets the full-color treatment in this issue. James Verniere gives the rundown on the premise, the performers, the differences between the film and other vampire films, the work of debut feature director Tony Scott, and the challenges the film faces by insisting it is not a horror, nor even a vampire, film. Verniere draws a comparison in this respect to another film recently profiled in the magazine, Paul Schrader’s Cat People. The Hunger is put into context against the entire history of the vampire film. A sidebar feature chronicles notable examples of cinema vampires from the silent Nosferatu through Lugosi, Lee, Polanski’s The Fearless Vampire Killers, and modern remakes of Nosferatu and Dracula. What is not discussed in any detail is the source material or its author, as Whitley Strieber and his novel are only mentioned in passing.
--TZ Discovery: Notes for a “Twilight Zone” Movie by Rod Serling
“With the
Spielberg-Landis co-production nearing release, here’s a never-before-published
look at the Twilight Zone film that
Serling himself might have made.”
-Rod Serling began working on a possible Twilight Zone film even while the television series was in its prime run. Serling seemed always to envision a moment in time when the show would make the leap to the big screen. Unfortunately, he did not live to see Twilight Zone: The Movie. Nevertheless, Serling worked intermittingly on a TZ movie for several years, even after the show had ended and gone into syndication. Serling took a shot at drafting a treatment or outline for a TZ movie a few times, and the format was typically the same. It would be an anthology film with a varying number of segments, typically three or four, each hosted by Serling. In essence, the TZ movie would be three or four original episodes strung together to form a feature, presumably with higher production values. Some of the ideas in Serling’s early drafts for a TZ movie gained life in other ways. His first treatment contained two stories, one about a blind woman given sight for a short time, a second about a fugitive Nazi on the run, which later appeared as “Eyes” and “The Escape Route,” respectively, in Serling’s 1967 book collection, A Season to Be Wary. Serling later adapted these stories for the Night Gallery pilot film. Two stories from the treatment presented here also later saw life on the small screen.
-Carol Serling provides a brief preface to Serling’s treatment, and Serling’s prefatory comments are included as well. The format of the film is an anthology with three segments, with Serling as the host. The first segment concerns the fantasies of a hotdog vendor in a baseball park who dreams of being an all-star player who garners everyone’s admiration. The second story concerns a doctor who calls on a very old family in a very old house and discovers that the matriarch is a witch who saps the life from a young relative in order to extend her own unnatural life. The third and final story segment concerns a woman who watches in horror as her life unfolds on a movie screen each night, leading to her death.
-The second story was later adapted by J. Michael Straczynski for the third season of the first revival Twilight Zone series under the title, “Our Selena Is Dying.” It was broadcast on November 12, 1988. The third story was adapted by Richard Matheson as “The Theatre” for the first segment of the 1994 television anthology film Twilight Zone: Rod Serling’s Lost Classics.

world, here they come – fantasy’s favorite couple, together again for (thank
God) for the last time!”
-Adam and Eve are space travelers on a journey to find a new home. Their computer GOD leads them to a planet and informs them that it is fit for human habitation. As a jest, Adam and Eve name the planet Earth. They land and emerge from the spaceship, only to die horribly because the atmosphere is poisonous to them. GOD is satisfied, since that will put an end to all those Adam and Eve stories.

“Join Jomo K.
Mbabwe and O.K. Jones on a spine-tingling expedition through the wilds of
America, where the Cougars, Mustangs, and Rabbits roam free – at least until
they run out of gas.”
-A seasoned outdoorsman guides a government ambassador on a trek through the wilds of a futuristic America, in which automobiles roam free like wild animals, stopping at gas stations instead of watering holes. The two men become aware of poachers, who shoot and kill the automobiles in order to collect their parts. The ambassador tries to sabotage the efforts of the poachers, drawing unwanted attention. The two men are beset by the poachers and are saved by a small “herd” of Rangers.
-Gene O’Neill previously appeared in TZ for the October, 1981 issue with his story, “The Burden of Indigo.” “Dakota Safari” was collected in Ghosts, Spirits, Computers and World Machines (2000).

--“And Now I’m Waiting” by Richard Matheson
Illustrated by
David Klein
“The chilling
study of a writer’s satanic imagination – a tale later transformed into The Twilight Zone comedy ‘A World of His
Own.’”
-David comes to the aid of his sister, Mary. She is distraught because she believes her husband, Richard, is unfaithful. David confronts Richard and discovers something wonderful and terrible. Richard, a writer, possesses the power to make anything he writes or speaks come alive in reality. Richard has used this power to produce Alice, a lovely woman from his most recent book. Richard conjures a venomous snake and accidentally kills Alice instead of Mary, his intended victim. Distraught, Richard sets fire to the house. David tries to escape until he realizes that he is also one of Richard’s creations.
-This is the never-before-published story that Matheson submitted to The Twilight Zone and adapted for the series as the first season finale, “A World of His Own.” The bones of the story remain relatively the same and will be recognized by those who have viewed the episode, but the tone and thematic qualities of the story are vastly different from its adaptation. In a prefatory note, Matheson indicates that, when he submitted the story, Rod Serling and Buck Houghton felt the story to be too melodramatic and requested that Matheson take a different approach with the adaptation. In response, Matheson went entirely the other way with the material, turning the story into a lighthearted comedy with a happy ending. The original story is very bleak, with the power of creation turning the main character into a psychopath, who uses the power and his physical supremacy to intimidate his wife and his brother-in-law. It is a satisfyingly grim short story, and a reminder of how talented Matheson was at the form, but it would have made for a very dark episode of TZ.
-“And Now I’m Waiting” was reprinted in the first issue of TZ’s sister publication, Night Cry (1984) and collected in Off Beat: Uncollected Stories (2003).
--TZ Classic Teleplay: “A World of His Own” by
Richard Matheson
-As would be expected, Richard Matheson’s teleplay
for the final episode of the first season is included as a companion piece for
the first publication of “And Now I’m Waiting.” “A World of His Own” first
aired on July 1, 1960, starring Keenan Wynn, Mary LaRoche, and Phyllis Kirk. It
was directed by Ralph Nelson. “A World of His Own” is a very enjoyable episode
and one of the relatively few successful comedic episodes of the series. It is
notable for including Rod Serling’s first appearance onscreen during an episode
(rather that for his preview of next week’s episode) in a memorable sequence in
which Serling is made to disappear. Revisit Brian’s review of the episode for
the full story.
--Show-by-Show Guide: TV’s Twilight Zone, Part Twenty-Three by Marc Scott Zicree
-Zicree is nearing the end of his episode guide. In
this installment, he provides cast and crew credits, Rod Serling’s opening and
closing narrations, and summaries for the fifth season episodes, “Spur of the
Moment,” “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” and “Queen of the Nile.”
