Your Host …
… is a writer and an editor who works in the public relations department of a large non-profit organization located in the Washington, D.C. area. He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and has completed management training at Georgetown University. He writes on a wide range of topics: history, public policy, film, books, music … and the work of Rod Serling.
His work has appeared in a range of newspapers, magazines and websites, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today. But when he’s not doing work that actually brings a paycheck, he turns to the fun stuff. Hence this blog.
Oh, and his name is Paul. You can reach him at nightgallery (at) rocketmail.com.
Hi Paul,
I ran across your site while searching for Twilight Zone on Twitter. Have you heard about our documentary on Charles Beaumont? http://www.jasunni.com.
We may be doing a Serling themed film festival in Seattle next year as well.
Thanks, Sunni. I’m glad you found the site. Are you on Twitter? I have heard of the documentary — thanks for the reminder. It sounds great. I’d love to pick up a copy, if it’s available on DVD. And the film festival sounds interesting, too. Wish I lived closer to Seattle, but I’m on the east coast.
Hello Paul,
Found this blog on your twitter. Watched Twilight Zone since I was 10 on a 5″ B/W TV. Have had the “Definitive Collection” for a little over a year now. I still haven’t gotten through all the episodes. Seems I like to savor each episode as all the nostalgia seems to come back. I’ve gotten to see a few that I don’t believe have ever been aired too much since first aired. My Favorite episode is a “A Stop at Willoughby”
Hi, Tom! Glad you found your way here. Yes, I’m sure that nostalgia is a big part of the Zone’s continued appeal as we grow older. Of course, the fact that it’s so well-written and acted is a key factor as well! And yes, “A Stop at Willoughby” is great. I did a blog post on that one and “Walking Distance” not long ago; it’s called “Trying to Go Home Again.” I’d love to get your thoughts — it’s about the 4th one down on the homepage. Hope you keep coming back!
Just found your site. Love TWZ. You should connect with my friend Arlen Schumer, a comic artist and historian, and huge TWZ fan. He written extensively on the subject and might make for a good connection: http://www.arlenschumer.com/twilight-zone.
Thanks, John. Glad you found the site How did you happen to find it, by the way? That site you recommended looks interesting — I think I’ll list it in my blogroll. The idea of a coffee-table book dedicated to TZ artwork sounds terrific.
