The Twilight Zone is an American television anthology series created (and often written) by its narrator and host Rod Serling. Each episode (156 in the original series) is a mixture of self-contained fantasy, science fiction, or horror , often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist.
The program followed in the tradition of earlier radio programs such as The Weird Circle and X Minus One and the radio work of Serling’s hero, dramatist Norman Corwin.
A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction and abstract ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature.
The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spinoffs that would span five decades.
Writers for The Twilight Zone included leading genre authorities such as Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner, Jr., Reginald Rose, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes also featured adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.

Herbert Hirschfeld …
Herbert Hirschfeld (the original producer of the hour-long fourth season) actually created this montage/title for the hour version of the series that premiered in January 1963. That fall, it reverted to its original half-hour format, retaining the title [for budgetary reasons].

Thank you for this …
Thank you for this video. It was the best quality Season 4 intro video I could find. The shameless logo “by DeDuf,” however, drained all my respect for this. I got rid of it using the Delogo filter on VirtualDub, but the principle of it is more important. Next time, don’t do something so painfully stupid.
