~Spur Of The Moment~

Air date: 2/21/64
Written by: Richard Matheson

"This is the face of terror: Anne Marie Henderson, eighteen years of age, her young existence suddenly marred by a savage and wholly unanticipated pusuit by a strange, nightmarish figure of a woman in black, who has appeared as if from nowhere and now at driving gallop chases the terrified girl across the countryside, as if she means to ride her down and kill her--and then suddenly and inexplicably stops, to watch in malignant silence as her prey takes flight. Miss Henderson has no idea whatever as to the motive for this pusuit; worse, not the vaguest notion regarding the identity of her persuer. Soon enough, she will be given the solution to this twofold mystery, but in a manner far beyond her present capacity to understand, a manner enigmatically bizarre in terms of time and space--which is to say, an answer from the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Anne Henderson.....Diana Hyland
Robert Blake.......Robert Hogan
David Mitchell......Roger Davis
Mr. Henderson.......Philip Ober
Mrs. Henderson......Marsha Hunt
Reynolds.............Jack Raine

"This is the face of terror: Anne Marie Mitchell, forty-three years of age, her desolate existence once more afflicted by the hope of altering her past mistake--a hope which is, unfortunately, doomed to disappointment. For warnings from the future to the past must be taken in the past; today may change tomorrow, but once today is gone tomorrow can only look back in sorrow that the warning was ignored. Said warning as of now stamped 'not accepted' and stored away in the dead file in the recording office of the Twilight Zone."

"Tonight a presentation so special and unique that, for the first time in the five years we've been presenting The Twilight Zone, we're offering a film shot in France by others. Winner of the Cannes Film Festival of 1962, as well as other international awards, here is a haunting study of the incredible, from the past master of the incredible, Ambrose Bierce.

"An occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge--in two forms, as it was dreamed, and as it was lived and died. This is the stuff of fantasy, the thread of imagination...the ingredients of the Twilight Zone."

~Queen Of The Nile~

Air date: 3/6/64
Written by: Jerry Sohl

"Jordan Herrick, syndicated columnist whose work appears in more than a hundred newspapers. By nature a cynic, a disbeliever, caught for the moment by a lovely vision. He knows the vision he's seen is no dream; she is Pamela Morris, renowned movie star, whose name is a household word and whose face is known to millios. What Mr. Herrick does not know is that he has also just looked into the face--of the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Jordan Herrick....Lee Philips
Pamela Morris.......Ann Blyth
Viola Draper.....Celia Lovsky
Krueger........Frank Ferguson
Mr. Jackson.......James Tyler
Maid............Ruth Phillips

"Everybody knows Pamela Morris, the beautiful and eternally young movie star. Or does she have another name, even more fanous, an Egyptian name from centuries past? It's best not to be too curious, lest you wind up like Jordan Herrick, a pile of dust and old clothing, discarded in the endless eternity of the Twilight Zone."

~The Masks~

Air date: 3/20/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"Mr. Jason Foster, a tired ancient who on this particular Mardi Gras evening will leave the earth. But before departing he has some things to do, some services to perform, some debts to pay--and some justice to mete out. This is New Orleans, Mardi Gras time. It is also the Twilight Zone."

Emily Harper.....Virginia Gregg
Wilfred Harper....Milton Selzer
Wilfred, Jr...........Alan Sues
Paula Harper.....Brooke Hayward
Doctor...........Willis Bouchey
Butler..............Bill Walker

"Mardi Gras incident, the dramatis personae being four people who came to celebrate and in a sense let themselves go. This they did with a vengeance. They now wear the faces of all that was inside them--and they'll wear them for the rest of their lives, said lives now to be spent in shadow. Tonight's tale of men, the macabre and masks--on the Twilight Zone."

~I Am The Night--Color Me Black~

Air date: 3/27/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"Sheriff Charlie Koch on the morning of an execution. As a matter of fact, it's seven-thirty in the morning. Logic and natural laws dictate that at this hour there should be daylight. It is a simple rule of physical science that the sun should rise at a certain moment and supercede the darkness. But at this given moment, Sheriff Charlie Koch, a deputy named Pierce, a condemned man named Jagger and a small, inconsequential village will shortly find out that there are causes and effects that have no precedent. Such is unusually the case--in the Twilight Zone."

Sheriff Koch...Michael Constantine
Colbey....................Paul Fix
Jagger................Terry Becker
Deputy Pierce.......George Lindsey
Rev. Anderson...........Ivan Dixon
Ella Koch..............Eva McVeagh
Man #1................Douglas Bank
Man #2...................Ward Wood
Woman...........Elizabeth Harrower

"A sickness known as hate; not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ--but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone--look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether."

~Sounds And Silences~

Air date: 4/3/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"This is Roswell G. Flemington, two hundred and seventeen pounds of gristle, lung tissue and sound decibels. He is, as you have perceived, a noisey man, one of a breed who substitutes volume for substance, sound for significance, and shouting to cover up the readily apparent phenomenon that he is nothing more than an overweight and aging perennial Sea Scout whose noise-making is in inverse ratio to his competence and his character. But soon our would-be admiral of the fleet will embark on another voyage. This one in an uncharted and twisting stream that heads for a distant port called...the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Roswell Flemington.....John McGiver
Mrs. Flemington.....Penny Singleton
Doctor..............Francis Defales
Secretary..............Renee Aubrey
Conklin............William Benedict

"When last heard from, Mr. Roswell G. Flemington was in a sanitarium pleading with the medical staff to make some noise. They, of course, believe the case to be a rather tragic aberration--a man's mind becoming unhinged. And for this they'll give him pills, therapy and rest. Little do they realize that all Mr. Flemington is suffering from is a case of poetic justice. Tonight's tale of sounds and silences from...the Twilight Zone."

~Caesar And Me~

Air date: 4/10/64
Written by: A.T. Strassfield

"Jonathan West, ventriloquist, a master of voice manipulation. A man late of Ireland, with a talent for putting words into other people's mouths. In this case, the other person is a dummy, aptly named Caesar, a small splinter with large ideas, a wooden tyrant with a mind and a voice of his own, who is about to talk Jonathan West into the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Jonathan West.....Jackie Cooper
Susan............Susanne Cupito
Mrs. Cudahy.........Sarah Selby
Mr. Smiles...........Olan Soule
Pawnbroker........Stafford Repp
Watchman..........Sidney Marion
Detective.........Don Gazzaniga
Mr. Miller..........Ken Konopka

"Little girl and a wooden doll, a lethal dummy in the shape of a man. But everybody knows dummies can't talk--unless, of course, they learn their vocabulary in the Twilight Zone."

~The Jeopardy Room~

Air date: 4/17/64
Written by: Rod Serling

"The cast of characters: a cat and a mouse. This is the latter, the intended victim who may or may not know that he is to die, be it by butchery or ballet. His name is Major Ivan Kuchenko. He has, if events go according to certain plans, perhaps three or four more hours of living. But an ignorance shared by both himself and his executioner is of the fact that both of them have taken a first step into the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Major Ivan Kuchenko.......Martin Landau
Commissar Vassiloff.....John vanDreelen
Boris....................Robert Kelljan

"Major Ivan Kuchenko, on his way west, on his way to freedom, a freedom bought and paid for by a most stunning ingenuity. And exit one Commissar Vassiloff, who forgot that there are two sides to an argument--and two parties on the line. This has been the Twilight Zone."

~Stopover In A Quiet Town~

Air date: 4/24/64
Written by: Earl Hamner, Jr.

"Bob and Millie Frazier, average young New Yorkers who attended a party in the country last night and on the way home took a detour. Most of us on waking in the morning know exactly where we are; the rooster or the alarm clock brings us out of sleep into the familiar sights, sounds, aromas of home and the comfort of a routine day ahead. Not so with our young friends. This will be a day like none they've ever spent--and they'll spend it in the Twilight Zone."

Cast:

Bob Frazier........Barry Nelson
Millie Frazier.....Nancy Malone
Mother.............Karen Norris
Little girl.........Denise Lynn

"The moral of what you've just seen is clear. If you drink, don't drive. And if your wife has had a couple, she shouldn't drive either. You might both just wake up with a whale of a headache in a deserted village in the Twilight Zone."
