The Twilight Zone is, by many accounts, a lightning in a bottle type of TV show. Time and time again have filmmakers and screenwriters tried to recapture what Rod Serling pulled off in the early '60s. Aside from the fact that Serling was a one of a kind voice in genre storytelling, this series sported an unmatched Bernard Herrmann score, had stark black-and-white photography, perfect guest stars, and a wonderfully eerie tone that was established by all parties. The Twilight Zone isn't just spooky stories told in an anthology format, because if that was the case, a ton of other anthology shows would share its high degree of acclaim. The Twilight Zone is the definition of a product of its time.
