National Twilight Zone Day: Celebrate another dimension - if you dare
As far as holidays go, this special day is out of this world! May 11 is National Twilight Zone Day! While the origins of this annual holiday are unknown, most people of a “certain age” probably remember the thought-provoking television series where nothing was quite what it seemed. Or was it?
Hosted and created by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone aired from 1959 through 1964. Strange and surreal things often transported ordinary people into another dimension during the twisted sci-fi thriller with the super-creepy theme song.
Serling was born in New York on Christmas Day in 1924. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army and attended Antioch College. The Emmy-award winning writer went on to write television scripts and screenplays and wrote over 90 of the 156 Twilight Zone episodes himself. Rodman Edward Serling died in 1975.
