Master in Twilight
A giant of the genre, Rod Serling welcomed TV viewers to another dimension, a land known to all of as The Twilight Zone. In the process, one of TV’s “Angry Young Men,” already famous for his live TV dramas (and movies) Requiem For A Heavyweight and Patterns, truly became a legend.
Serling also steered a TV Western (The Loner), presented a later genre TV anthology (Night Gallery), voiced countless commercials, narrated numerous documentaries and co-scripted the film version of Planet Of The Apes.
In this Brief interview, conducted in 1974, just a year before his death, Serling stopped to consider the challenge of a writing career and his own life in The Twilight Zone.
Starlog: What do you think when looking back on your two genre TV series?
Rod Serling: Twilight Zone was very innovative for the time. Night Gallery I’m not as proud of.
