Synopsis: Two decades after the demise of Rod Serling's original, groundbreaking and multi-Emmy award-winning television series, audiences were once again transported into the fifth dimension, this time with an unprecedented roster of talent that significantly included some of the greatest sci-fi and fantasy writers of all time. Broadcast from 1985 to 1989, this new series not only captured the spirit and continued the legacy of the original it also took television drama to a whole new level, particularly with unforgettable episodes such as the shocking William Friedkin-directed "Nightcrawlers", Wes Craven's tear-jerker "Her Pilgrim Soul" and Joe Dante's terrifying "The Shadow Man", to name a few. A welcome revival for committed Zone aficionados, the series also attracted a whole new audience to what has become regarded as essential viewing for fans of sci-fi, fantasy and quality television drama. You'll Love It Because... At a time when television was an arid wasteland of cheesy, identikit soap operas and repetitious, uninspired action series, "The Twilight Zone" came along and, for many, represented an oasis of creativity and originality unlike anything else around, firmly establishing itself as an unmissable viewing fixture in the latter part of the 1980s. Even by today's standards, the list of creative talent involved is simply breathtaking.
