“There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.”With these words, Rod Serling launched untold numbers of nightmares upon the world of television viewers. Today is the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere episode from the unique dramatic series. In that fifty years it has won Emmys, Golden Globes, Hugo awards and more.
