The twilight zone - Season 1

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.

The best intro in my humble opinion

[ZakFman]

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone

[darkaquarian]

This is my favorite as well. Back in the day for me was also WPIX channel 11 in NYC. Right after The Honeymooners and before Star Trek at 11:30. These days I wait for the two times the run the marathons on SCIFI (now the SYFY,bleech!) channel. It will be back on just before new year's eve. The only thing I hate now is that they show TV show previews while TZ is ending and I can't hear the outro.

Huge TZ fan, always loved this theme more than the others. The first season still is my favorite till this day

I have been searching for the original Ending theme, to no avail.

Where could it Be?

[marsidio]

THE intro !! Why did they change that ?? They were crazy to change that one !!!

[we3stooges979792]

I'm making a Twilight Zone episode and I'm using this intro. Only I'm shooting my own scenes. was looking for an example of how I could impersonate Rod Serling. I have found my example!

[MrSchultzstaffel]

This is the creepy version. This is the one that has you on your guard as well as the edge of your seat because this is a dimension where irony exists; where twists of fate occur without any conciveable warning...where justice is delt with a not-so "blind eye" as much as it is with an intended purpose...and where the deserving ultimately "get what's comming to them." Are you next? Well...there by the grace of God go I...so beware.

@Emper0rH0rde I agree! I watched this when I was a little kid. This intro actually chilled me. The music & especially the creepy cave! I liked the other intros too with the famous theme music, but none of the others even come close to this one.

[oliviawa1000]

I wish this theme never changed, it's compelty what twighlight zone is about and always sends chills down my spine.

[homoKaliptus]

évolution of this intro changed as society changes . now you have electric guitars

[Emper0rH0rde]

I wish they kept this theme throughout the whole series because it's more otherworldly than the famous one that everyone knows. This music is dreamlike, mysterious, eerie, ethereal; completely in tune with the spirit of the show. Whereas the famous theme is just creepy. Not that I'm saying the famous theme is bad - I love the famous theme - but I think this theme is definitely better Twilight Zone music.
