With this 2008 book, author Martin Grams revealed himself as a leading resource
for all things Twilight Zone. Never heard of the author until I got this book,
but this information-packed volume represents an impressive work devoted
exclusively to The Twilight Zone. Historically important, correcting the errors
from previous Twilight Zone books and obvious years of research makes this a
superb reference guide for watching the episodes. Background trivia and behind
the scenes material is a wealth promises you get your moneys worth.
The main
body of this book is the episode guide. Each episode documented with dates of
filming, rehearsal dates, cost breakdown, location shots, props, etc. If you
think the serial numbers for the automobiles used is not peaking your interest,
try the stories about how each episode was filmed. Who broke their leg on the
set? Which episodes were refilmed when the rough cut proved disasterous and
deleted scenes described? Which episodes have the microphone on the screen? What
movie posters are inside jokes making reference to production staff? This is a
splended job. Buy this today and youll know all you want to about The Twilight
Zone.
