Paper's floundering.
Sold your soul to the devil ...
now first with the scoop.

One of my favorite episodes from THE TWILIGHT ZONE. I loved teaching the motif of “selling your soul to the devil“ to my high school students. 👺

An autobiographical story of Rod Serling‘s life and career as a writer which coincided with the growth of television. A truly fascinating tale with a nice Twilight Zone twist at the end. Definitely a read for writers and those looking for something different from the world of graphic novels.

🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year 🎶

The Twilight Zone marathon has always been one of my favorite TV events! So many phenomenal stories by such talented authors, Rod Serling's narration... it always feels like home!!! I typically watch with these two reference guides, too. Totally normal TV watching, right? 👌😏

vivastory Have you read this

Twilight Man

IamIamIam @vivastory Yes!!! It was so well written!! I loved it and told my husband he needs to read it too! 🥰🥰 3y

vivastory I found it very informative. I esp loved the info about his friendship with Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz & how they helped him get started. I agree about the roster of talent on TZ. I have the Penguin collection of Beaumont's stories & am looking forward to reading it & I've had my eye on their volume of Matheson stories that was pub a couple of yrs ago 3y

IamIamIam @vivastory I read Perchance to Dream last year and was really blown away! It was easier to get Matheson's stories but I always liked Beaumont's episodes better!!! Rod Serling was so ahead of his time and so determined to get his message across. 😁 3y

vivastory This isn't related to Matheson or Beaumont, but on the topic of TZ, I recently realized that the mother in the Talky Tina episode is name Annabelle...which seems to be an odd coincidence for the recent movie even though that was based on a story that was supposedly told to the Warrens 3y

IamIamIam @vivastory Oh, that's interesting!!! I wonder when the Warrens investigated that... had to be the 70s, right?? My kids love that episode, by the way, LOL... 3y

vivastory Who, hahaha...so I just read the wikipedia page for Annabelle (the doll) & came across this:
Texas State University assistant professor of religious studies Joseph Laycock says most skeptics have dismissed the Warrens' museum as “full of off-the-shelf Halloween junk, dolls and toys, books you could buy at any bookstore“. Laycock calls the Annabelle legend an “interesting case study in the relationship between pop culture and paranormal folklore“.. 3y

vivastory and speculates that the demonic doll trope popularized by films such as Child's Play, Dolly Dearest, and The Conjuring likely emerged from early legends surrounding Robert the Doll, as well as from a Twilight Zone episode released five years prior to the Warrens' story, entitled “Living Doll“, in which the character of the mother is named Annabelle. Laycock suggests that “the idea of demonically possessed dolls allows modern demonologists to find 3y

vivastory supernatural evil in the most banal and domestic of places.“
hahah 3y

IamIamIam @vivastory LMAO, that's great!!! I've heard they're pretty sensational but you gotta give the people what they want!!! I do love the lore surrounding Robert the Doll and I think the Warren's were great business folk! I love that you put Living Doll and Annabelle together!!! 👏👏👏 You're on my team at a murder mystery party! 🤣 3y

vivastory 😂 😂 They were good business people & the stories, tales & movies are still very entertaining. The midnight screening of The Conjuring remains one of my favorite moviegoing experiences to this day. 3y

Published by tempo books at the price of 60 cents, Rod Serling‘s chilling stories from the twilight zone vol 189 is just like the show. The twilight zone books are very fun to delve into when you feel like reading something short and spooky. These books never disappoint.
