The Twilight Zone was a science fiction anthology series. Many of the tv show's episodes contained creatures from other worlds, other dimensions or from the supernatural realm. There was also "hard-core" science fiction dealing with subjects such as time travel and the exploration of space.
Opening Narrative:
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 we call the "Twilight Zone".
