The Twilight Zone is an American sci-fi anthology series that debuted in 1959. The wildly popular show has been praised for its allegorical storytelling and exploration of issues like xenophobia, war, religion, and technology. Its stand-alone episodes vary greatly in subject but are united by an overwhelming feeling of strangeness. One week, the episode may deliver a tale about magic, and the next teleplay might center on aliens. The Twilight Zone is also known for keeping its viewers on their toes with its trademark twist endings, sometimes driving home a tone of dread and occasionally reveling in hopefulness.

Thanks to its nature as an anthology series, The Twilight Zone has no set cast, featuring a new crop of actors every week. In many ways, acting in the series became a rite of passage in Hollywood, which is why the show is littered with famous faces. On the way to sitcom stardom,...

Disney's Tower of Terror has always felt like a thrilling outlier at any Disney park. Opened in Florida in 1994, the "Twilight Zone"-inspired thrill ride was always a little scarier than the rest of the Mouse House's family-friendly theme park attractions -- in a good way.

California's Tower of Terror may have had its last ride, but the attraction remains a landmark of Disney parks across the world, with additional versions in Tokyo and Paris. As with any Disney ride, a whole lot of thought went into the original planning of the attraction, and in the case of Tower of Terror, Imagineers were actually required to become classic TV binge-watchers. According to the official D23 website, everyone who helped design the Tower of Terror watched all 156 episodes of Rod Serling's seminal anthology series at least twice.

Imagineers looked even closer at certain "Twilight Zone" episodes, studying the music, props,...

Tim Allen's Christmas movie career started with The Santa Clause, which is widely regarded as his best holiday film. While The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Claus had its moments, it is considered the weakest of the trilogy due to lackluster CGI and a messy story. Christmas with the Kranks may have a low Rotten Tomatoes score, but it still provides some holiday cheer and humor as the Kranks try to skip Christmas.

Tim Allen has frequently made Christmas movies, ranging from perennial holiday classics to more under-seen films. For an actor who has been working for as long as Tim Allen has, he has tackled his fair share of instantly recognizable roles. His popularity comes from voicing Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story franchise as well as headlining TV hits like Home Improvement and The Last Man Standing. It was his time on Home Improvement that helped turn...

Jack Frost nipping at your Claus... That was the premise of The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, with Martin Short joining the beloved holiday franchise to face off against Tim Allen's Santa Claus. Released in 2006, the third and final installment also introduced other mythical features such as the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, Mother Nature and Father Time, the latter being played by Peter Boyle in his final film appearance before his death in December 2006.  Despite less than merry reviews, The Santa Clause 3 grossed over $110 million at the box office and is a staple in Freeform's annual 25 Days of Christmas programming. Not bad, Scott Calvin! As we round into the holiday season (hey,...

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “The Twilight Zone” Episode 1, “The Comedian,” and Episode 2, “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet.”]

CBS All Access’ reimagining of “The Twilight Zone” delivers true anthology storytelling in that each episode is a standalone plot than can be enjoyed all by itself. But for “Twilight Zone” diehards, the reboot also has fun paying homage to Rod Serling’s classic series through visual, character, or narrative references. They’re not only an entertaining way to honor the show’s roots, but each nod to the past also creates a connection to the present — as if they all exist in the same universe, or zone.

The new “Twilight Zone” also adds to the mythology with its own references within Jordan Peele’s rebooted universe, creating new connections that knit the episodes together in spirit.
