Twilight Zone Video 2

Penny For Your Thoughts

Rod Serling (narration):

One time in a million, a coin will land on its edge, but all it takes to knock it over is a vagrant breeze, a vibration or a slight blow. Hector B. Poole, a human coin, on edge for a brief time in the Twilight Zone. 

Marty At 20,000 Feet

Another Twilight Zone that William Shatner starred in was called, Nightmare at 20,000 Feet and is a classic Twilight Zone episode. Below is the Rod Serling introduction to this one.

Portrait of a frightened man: Mr. Robert Wilson, thirty-seven, husband, father, and salesman on sick leave. Mr. Wilson has just been discharged from a sanitarium where he spent the last six months recovering from a nervous breakdown, the onset of which took place on an evening not dissimilar to this one, on an airliner very much like the one in which Mr. Wilson is about to be flown home - the difference being that, on that evening half a year ago, Mr. Wilson's flight was terminated by the onslaught of his mental breakdown. Tonight, he's traveling all the way to his appointed destination, which, contrary to Mr. Wilson's plan, happens to be in the darkest corner of the Twilight Zone.

Here’s the entire Wikipedia entry: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.

And here’s still from the show, that “Boris” has worked his Photoshop magic on! Another classic, “Boris,” thanks, Daddio!

Twilight Zone Video One

I’m going to post three full length Twilight Zone episodes and here’s the first one.

Time Enough At Last

Here’s a link to a page at tv.com devoted to this episode: Time Enough At Last.

And here’s the full length episode!

Mystic Marty Seer by "Boris"

Two of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes star a pre Star Trek William Shatner.

One of them is titled “Nick of Time,” and here’s Rod Serling’s introduction to it:

The hand belongs to Mr. Don S. Carter, male member of a honeymoon team en route across the Ohio countryside to New York City. In one moment, they will be subjected to a gift most humans never receive in a lifetime. For one penny, they will be able to look into the future. The time is now, the place is a little diner in Ridgeview, Ohio, and what this young couple doesn't realize is that this town happens to lie on the outskirts of the Twilight Zone.

You can read about the whole episode here: “Nick of Time.”

Our genius resident artist, “Boris,” has created a special piece of art from this episode especially for today’s Twilight Zone Thursday and here it is! Genius work as always, Daddio! And be sure to keep checking back today as there’s more Twilight Zone Thursday updates coming and a couple more surprises from “Boris.”
