A New Year in the Twilight Zone

I'm yet again engrossed in the New Year's Eve Twilight Zone Marathon on Syfy and am yet again struck by just how incredible the writing is. It's a master class in short science fiction and horror. One of my favorites is on now, Nothing in the Dark, about a woman who comes in direct contact with "Mr. Death." It's a frightening, moving, and ultimately optimistic reflection on the ultimate unknown. Another classic, Hocus Pocus and Frisby, is coming up a littler later. An ode to tall tale tellers, with aliens, it's a fun out-of-this-world adventure on the other end of the episode spectrum. More than 60 years later, there's still nothing like TZ for inspiration. Here's wishing all you readers and writers a Happy New Year, from the Twilight Zone!
