On this day in Horror History, The Twilight Zone ended its 5 season run on broadcast television. Perhaps one of the most definitive cult television shows in history, 156 Episodes of Rod Serling’s iconic series would air between 1959 to 1964. Inspiring several modernized reboots of the same name, a 1983 feature film, and countless homages littered through some of popular culture’s most recognizable movies and media, The Twilight Zone made an indelible mark on the history of science fiction and the lives of millions of viewers.
“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 the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.” -Rod Serling
