Forgotten Gems from the Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) anthology series created by Rod Serling presented a series of unrelated drama, psychological thriller, fantasy, science fiction, suspense, and horror stories that often concluded with a macabre or unexpected twist.

The show has survived, and now the original scripts can finally be revealed. The unique scripts by principal writers Rod Serling, Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, and Earl Hamner give a rare look into the creative minds behind these imaginative tales:

"The Chaser" (1960) by Robert Presnell, Jr.

"The Trouble With Templeton" (1960) by E. Jack Neuman

"Long Distance Call" (1961) by William Idelson

"Dead Man's Shoes" (1962) by OCee Ritch

"I Dream of Genie" (1963)by John Furia, Jr.

"Pattern For Doomsday"by Charles Baumont (an unproduced script)

Andrew Ramage analyses include a scene by scene commentary and biographical information about these writers.
