"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity." TV audiences first heard Rod Serling's mesmerizing introduction to his groundbreaking CBS anthology series "The Twilight Zone," on this date, October 2nd, in 1959. The series continued for five seasons and has lived on in syndication and home entertainment.

The Invaders from 1961. While not written or directed by Rod Serling - those tasks fell to Richard Matheson and Douglas Heyes respectively - who else would have had the audacity and brilliance to produce and air nearly thirty minutes of dialogue-free television. The great Agnes Moorehead doesn't say a word, only grunts and other sounds, with the only spoken dialogue coming at the very end.

If you enjoy all around weirdness you might check out the British counterpart to Twilight Zone, called Hammer House of Horror. It debuted in 1980 and had some really good episodes, each one a random tale of horror/weirdness much like Twilight Zone.

Any fans of British death metal band Akercocke might recognize the sample at the beginning of the first track on Choronzon being ripped from the Hammer episode Guardian of the Abyss.
