You unlock this door with the key of imagination

From the first season:
Bernard Herrmann's original theme, pre-"Dee dee, dee dee". As classic as the later theme has become, I've always liked the creepiness and melancholy of this one even more.
Ah, yes, that nerve-jangling theme by Marius Constant. The sunset graphics were pretty basic, but effective.
A very early-'60s approach for season 3, with the vortex graphic and more sedate, "modern" type.
Aw, yeah, people. Here's where the TZ credits reach their apex. I love how they suggest strange cosmic happenings by throwing random crap at you that they found in the prop department. This show was damn near the best thing ever.
Finally, we go back to the beginning, for the titles from the pilot episode. It's a good thing Rod Serling later decided to do his own narration, huh? This narrator makes me feel like I'm about to take a ride on the Monorail at Disneyland.
