Movie Description
An imaginative television series that probed the fuzzy intersection of fantasy and reality, offering highly original storylines that examined human and supernatural quandaries with insight and imagination, THE TWILIGHT ZONE aired from 1959 to 1964. But it in just five years' time it made an impact on popular culture that has been long-lasting and deep--even casual viewers can recall the classic twists of particular episodes. Scores of films and television programs were influenced by THE TWILIGHT ZONE, including THE SIXTH SENSE and THE X-FILES. This 4-disc collection offers a quartet of classic episodes from the popular and influential series. In "Living Doll," Telly Savalas stars as a father tormented by his daughter's malevolent talking doll. In "The Dummy," Cliff Robertson plays a ventriloquist whose dummy becomes all too frighteningly real. In "The Fever," a gambler obsesses over a casino slot machine. And in "The After Hours," a department store customer discovers her true identity.

Trivia Game
The episodes included in this collection were originally broadcast between January 29, 1960 - November 11, 1963.
Because of Rod Serling's intense stage fright, network executives originally wanted Orson Welles to host and narrate.
In "Living Doll," the voice of Talky Tina was provided by June Foray, who voiced almost every female character from the Warner Brothers cartoons--including Granny, Tweety Bird, and Witch Hazel--as well as Rocky the Squirrel and Natasha Fatale from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.
Cliff Robertson was one of many actors who made repeat guest appearances on the series. Other Twilight Zone stalwarts include William Shatner, Burgess Meredith, Jack Klugman, Martin Landau, and Billy Mumy.
