This year’s
Twilight Zone marathon continues all day and night, and goes into tomorrow – so any time you like, you can into the
Zone merely by tuning to Syfy. But this year, today, I highlight in particular the 8 p.m. ET showing of “The Invaders,” the episode of
The Twilight Zone I singled out for praise, and interpretation, as my contribution to Mark Dawidziak’s
Everything I Need to Know I Learned in The Twilight Zone – the perfect companion book, by the way, to this New Year’s Syfy marathon. My brief lessons learned from “The Invaders,” the 1961 episode written by Richard Matheson and starring Agnes Moorehead as a mute woman defending her remote farmhouse from doll-sized invaders from outer space, were: “Always look at things from perspectives other than your own, and never take anything at face value.” See the episode, then see why.
Then buy Mark’s book…
