NORFOLK, Va. — Six episodes of The Twilight Zone will be shown at select theaters on November 14 for its 60th anniversary.
“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.”
The event will combine digitally restored versions of six quintessential episodes with an all-new documentary short titled "Remembering Rod Serling" about the life, imagination, and creativity of creator Serling, whose thought-provoking anthology series continues to mesmerize fans.
Theaters in Hampton Roads that will be showing the episodes include the Regal at MacArthur Center, Cinemark in Norfolk, and AMC Lynnhaven.
