Rodserlingofficial - Rod Serling

please for the love of god tell me you're actually him

mod here: No, I am not Rod Serling. He died in 1975. I was just inspired to create this account for my love of The Twilight Zone and other horror media, as well as an outlet for some of my frustrations with modern politics.

Mr. Serling, if he was alive today, would be turning 101 this Christmas, so I don't think he would have been running a Tumblr blog at that age.

every time I read “The Twilight Zone” on your blog I imagine the dramatic music that comes after it in the intro. was this intended

Not only intended, but required.

To Rod Serling: How did you discover the Twilight Zone in the first place?

The Twilight Zone discovered me.

the two fundamental truths of historical and contemporary mankind:

we were just as smart then as we are now

we are just as stupid now as we were then

A merchandise company so successful, they have licensed every popular IP under the sun. After running out of superhero variants and genre shows, they have resorted to presenting a monochrome man in a suit as a beloved TV character and hoping the name recognition would be enough to sell it.

I am Rod Serling.

Glimpses of the girl you are, and perhaps the one you may become.

It's also free on Youtube

There is a Twilight Zone movie. Not based on the show, but based on The Tower of Terror ride in Disney's Hollywood Studios (and formerly in Disney California Adventure Park). You can't find this movie on Disney's streaming services, nor is it ever aired on any television channels. You can still buy it from Disney, as a DVD. It was released in 1997, 6 years before Disney's other two movies based on rides: Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Haunted Mansion. 10 years ago, in 2015, there were rumors of a reboot. Nothing has come of this. It has no mention or relation to The Twilight Zone.

I can't believe the Rod Serling is tumblring from beyond the grave. How does it feel to be 100 years old Mr Serling
