66 Years Ago Today, The Twilight Zone Released Its Most Iconic Episode Ever (And It Starred a Batman Favorite)

Originally running for five seasons and totaling over 150 episodes (with an additional 128 from later revivals), The Twilight Zone and its creators, led by Rod Serling, produced some of the most enduring and impactful pop culture of all time. The series not only shaped the science fiction and horror genres by adapting stories from well-known authors, but also helped create entirely new subgenres that are still being developed today. What’s particularly noteworthy is that one of the show’s most important episodes first aired very early in its run, and today marks its anniversary.
