Rod Serling's Night Gallery

When CBS canceled Serling's landmark series, The Twilight Zone, Serling sought a similar concept in Night Gallery in the early 1970s as a new forum for his unique brand of storytelling, a mosaic of classic horror and fantasy tales. As they unfold the dramatic story of one of the most innovative series of its day, Scott Skelton and Jim Benson not only explore the genesis of the series but provide production detail and behind-the-scenes material. They offer critical commentary and off-screen anecdotes for every episode, complete cast and credit listings, and synopses of all forty-three episodes. Containing more than a hundred photographs -- some never before published -- the book is spiced with evocative and entertaining interviews with such film and television luminaries as Roddy McDowall, John Astin, Richard Kiley, and John Badham. As it features some of Serling's most accomplished scripts, this book will fill a major gap in understanding Serling's career as a whole.
