The Twilight Zone
The only thing greater than a tantalising mystery is a whole anthology season of them, delivered piecemeal to us in a manner than keeps us feverishly hanging until the next instalment. Created by Rod Sterling, pop culture landmark The Twilight Zone first emerged in 1959 and practically redefined what television was capable of, bringing pulpy concepts of science-fiction and fantasy to a wider audience whilst offering a plethora of beautifully constructed oddities (the Jerry Goldsmith-scored ‘The Invaders’ was named by Sterling as one of his favourites). Such was the immediate success of the show that it eventually spawned a host of spin-offs and a classic 1983 movie featuring segments directed by Steven Spielberg, George Miller, Joe Dante and John Landis.
