TWILIGHT ZONE: ROD SERLING'S LOST CLASSICS

That post about the upcoming Twilight Zone movie inspired me to dig up this little video curio... In 1994, CBS aired a two-hour TV movie featuring a pair of "lost" Rod Serling stories. (His widow literally found some old scripts stashed away while she was cleaning up the house.) The Theater was an unfinished work cleaned up by acclaimed novelist Richard Matheson, and it plays like a rather lackluster episode of the original series. But the second story, Where the Dead Are, is pure Serling... And it's a profoundly creepy hour of TV, arguably more frightening and twisted than anything on the original Twilight Zone. (And let us not forget that this was the show with that one episode where the awful people wear the ugly masks to gain a dying guy's inheritance, but then when they finally take the masks off... Their faces are stuck that way.)

I think I've embedded this so you can watch it fine, but you may have to go to the Veoh site to install a browser plug-in. If so I apologize for the inconvenience, but this movie has become pretty obscure and I'm kind of amazed to find it online at all.
