Hey guys, I recently had the chance to interview Marc Scott Zicree, the writer of the Twilight Zone Companion. Marc mentioned that he is in talks with the Serling estate to produce 'Rod Serling: After Twilight' which would feature unreleased stories from the legendary Rod Serling. Pretty exciting news.
The interview and additional info can be found in the link below - the news about Rod's unreleased material is 12 minutes in.

I also wanted to mention, I'm still a small channel dedicated to Twilight Zone just trying to grow. I'm keeping at it, but it has been really tough. Any subs, likes or even a friendly comment would be just insanely appreciated by me. Honestly I'd especially be happy to hear from fellow Twilight Zone fans more often. I do my best to respond to everyone and I'm always up for a chat about these classic episodes.
Here's my Twilight Zone Reviews playlist:

Be well guys & thanks!
I’m having trouble listening to the new season of Get In The Trunk. I don’t have any issue with the story, the characters, or even Grant in terms of how he’s running the game or playing the NPCs. BUT he is narrating with this odd cadence that is making it quite hard for me to listen to him talk. Is he doing a Rod Serling / Twilight Zone impression or something. It is very jarring and hard to keep me invested in things. Antoine else notice this?
Edit: He’s obviously doing it on purpose, but I hadn’t thought about the prospect that he’s doing it to be intentionally off putting. This certainly changes my opinion of it.
I’m considering auditioning for a school play next week, and I’m required to recite a monologue for my audition. Since the part is sort of a narrator-type role, I thought I’d like to quote something Rod has said on the show. Any suggestions?
This movie was randomly recommended to me on YouTube and it ended up being one of the best movies I've seen as of late. I think it's on the same level with (if not better than) 12 Angry Men. The settings were overflowing with symbolism, all the characters including the villain were fleshed out and multidimensional and the acting was just outstanding. Just like 12 Angry Men, this movie manages to captivate the viewer without much happening in terms of action. I recommend it to everyone.
I'm trying to find a clip of Rod Serling saying the word "trapped" to use for the opening of a podcast I'm producing, amazingly he doesn't seem to say it in a single opening or closing narration from any episode of the Twilight Zone. I couldn't find easily searchable transcripts from Night Gallery. Even if he says it in an interview as long as it's clear, I'd love it. Thanks!

Hey guys!
Huge fan of Rod Serling here.
After reading more about his life and work, I found out that eventually he preferred to dictate his scripts into dictaphone and have his secretary transcribe them for him later on.
I was also listening to an interview with J.J. Abrams who said that he visited Serling's wife and got to hear some of the recordings, and apparently quite a few are digitalized (perhaps in a museum?).
I really want to hear them and get an insight into his creative process, but I've been unable to find anything online.
Does anyone know if the recordings are available somewhere?
Cheers!
In a recent post, The creator of the Twilight Zone was a student of Neville…. It just blew my mind!” by u/capedcr there is a video by blogger Armine.
She interviews a man named John Reszetylo who attended a Neville Lecture with Lucille Ball and Rod Serling when he was 4 years old.
John attended the lecture with his mother who was friends with Lucille Ball.
John says in the video it was the lecture God and I are One (May 22 1972)
"After the lecture he [Neville] was shaking hands with people like that and he didn't seem to be impressed by Rod Serling...." [6:00 on video]
John says in a FB post:
"When he shook my Red Ant's hand [Lucille Ball] there was so much compassion in his eyes and when he shook Rod Serling hand there was a hint of possibly disapproval but it wasn't judgement I don't know according to my mom Rod became his student at some point. Then He shook my hand and asked my name and when I told him he patted me on the head and said "John; Jehovah is graceful."
The video might conjure up the idea that Neville influenced Serling’s work and/or Neville supported Serling’s efforts.
Actually, Neville pretty much reprimands, warns and calls out… Rod Serling for going berserk! in God Given Talent
“Now tonight let me share with you some experiences to show you that it is all your own wonderful human imagination. You might have read last Saturday’s Los Angeles “Times.” On the front page in bold, bold type is the story of a plane. A story was told, and shown on TV, and very, very popular by Rod Serling, and here, a man was influenced to take that story and put it to his own personal gain. So, he threatened Qantas, the Australian Airline, with a hundred and seven passengers aboard that he would blow the plane up at a certain airport if they did not pay five hundred and sixty thousand dollars, which they did. They paid him, this extortionist, $560,000, based upon a so-called “Imaginary” plot by Rod Serling. When he realized what he had done, so he claims in the story, he asked his producers to withdraw the film from TV and not show it any more. They refused because of profit; it was written for profit, shown for profit, and will continue, regardless of Qantas or any other airport of unnumbered people th
