Twilight Zone Museum

Well, it took five whole decades to reach October 2nd, 2009 - the golden anniversary of what is arguably the greatest television show the world has ever known. Millions saw the first episodes; hundreds of millions have now seen it and, like McDonalds, eventually it will hit the billions "served". But unlike most things - individuals, married couples, corporations - and other entities who celebrate anniversaries, grow old, and eventually dissolve, "The Twilight Zone" is immortal. It will always exist, and will play on television sets via DVD players and reruns. It will continue to inspire, it will continue to teach, and it will continue to entertain thanks to over one-thousand actors, plus a couple hundred other individuals - writers, producers, and other behind-the-camera folks who made it all happen. In the past seven years, five fan conventions have been done, on both coasts - something that, ten years ago and longer, no one thought would ever happen and no one dared attempt. We made sure these happened - to bring together fans, actors, and writers (and even a few of the directors who guided the episodes). If Rod had survived to see October 2nd, 2009, he would have been eternally grateful - although he enjoyed immense popularity for "The Twilight Zone", he probably never realized it would reach the level it has...not to mention all of what the show spawned - major motion pictures written with "Twilight Zone" motifs, trading cards, graphic novels, websites. And if he were here now, he'd undoubtedly say Thank You to everyone who made it happen - and to everyone who have indirectly supported the show by watching it. To quote our great friend George Clayton Johnson, "It may not continue to be (badly) remade, but it will never stop being watched." Please look at Arlen Schumer's Twilight Zone Forever tribute.
