About

The obvious question you might ask yourself is, ‘What’s going on with a TV series that is now over 60 years old?’ The answer is, ‘Plenty!’ To quote a wise man, “The Twilight Zone will never die!”

“Forgotten Gems From The Twilight Zone – Volume 1 and Volume 2”, edited by Andrew Ramage.

Parts of this site consist of autographed Twilight Zone production and publicity photos, plus coverage of the first-ever Twilight Zone Convention, the “Stars of the Zone Convention,” held in Hollywood in August 2002, plus our sequel show, held in August 2004, and a third and fourth convention held in 2006 and 2007 hosted by Herman Darvick in New Jersey have been partially covered as well. The 2009 50th Anniversary events, sadly, we could not cover on here, but they’ve been given a passing nod and a mention.

We cordially invite you to submit scans of YOUR “Twilight Zone” memorabilia and photos. For more information about this, please send email to oceanave@usa.net or taygraphics@gmail.com.

The only requirements for photos are that the scans submitted be of a sufficiently high resolution (300 dpi or higher, preferably) and the photos submitted should be from Serling’s original series that aired from 1959-1964 on CBS.

We are also interested in old index cards, theater playbills, etc., signed by actors in the original series, NOT the series from the 1980s or the hideous 2002 revival on UPN. We know these items are rare!

Most of the actors who did “Twilight Zone” episodes are now sadly deceased. Stellar talents such as Joseph Schildkraut, Claude Akins, Gig Young, Inger Stevens, Elizabeth Montgomery, David Wayne, and James Gregory did some of their most-remembered work on “The Twilight Zone”. With this site, as well as DVD and VHS, they live on forever. Hopefully,  TZ-museum.com and  will also be used by autograph hounds and dealers to authenticate acquired autographs.

So, have a look around and enjoy! If you have questions, feel free to contact us!

About This Site – Detailed Description

Thus far, five “Twilight Zone” Conventions have been held – two coordinated by Andrew Ramage and Bill DeVoe, held at Beverly Garland’s Holiday Inn in North Hollywood, California, held in 2002 and 2004; two coordinated by Herman Darvick, held at the Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey Hilton Hotel; and one in 2009 which was part of a larger autograph show, hosted by The Hollywood Show, Inc.

The Twilight Zone Museum opened on 15 September, 2002, the month after the first Stars of the Zone Convention – the first ever “Twilight Zone” Convention – hosted by Andrew Ramage and Bill DeVoe in Hollywood, California. The website was opened because it was an attempt to complete the circle of “Twilight Zone” websites online at that time. The Twilight Zone Archives was and is online, and focused on the ‘behind-the-scenes’ aspect of the show.

As many of you remember, there was The Fifth Dimension, hosted by a fan from Texas. This was a wonderful site and for a long time was the most comprehensive one online. It was a treasure trove of information – coverage of each episode, and had numerous articles and information about virtually all of the things that sprang forth after Rod Serling created the show – movie connections, references in popular culture and on other TV shows and in films. I’m sure that guy spent into the tens of thousands of hours building it. There was also a very good message board there for a brief time in the late 1990s, [which still exists as The Twilight Zone Cafe, but only two or three folks from those early days remain active on the forum.] The site came online in 1996 and saw many transformations – including a name change from The Fifth Dimension to TheTZSite.com (after the band of the former name wanted the domain name for themselves.) There were also other assorted sites that filled in most of the gaps.

But the BIG gap had still not been filled. There was no real website that kept people informed of the current happenings related to the “The Twilight Zone.” A convention had just been done, and like the show itself, had broken new ground and eventually spawned 4 more TZ conventions. Coverage of those events needed to be shared with the Twilight Zone public, especially those who could not attend.

The actors – the people who really ‘made’ the show what it was, has been largely forgotten – they needed to be spotlighted again – and we found a good way to do it. They would be spotlighted in the form of their autographs. And luckily over the past decade, a very few of us got them to sign “Twilight Zone” production stills. Sure, they appeared in the episodes – but a personal signature on a piece of memorabilia makes it that much more valid. Not to mention, it makes for nice viewing, especially for those who know TZ really well. After all, “Twilight Zone” had some of the best casting in the history of television. And, those who recently departed Earth would be given a mini obituary. A decent, non-critical episode guide with an acceptable presentation was also in order. I suppose you could say that the Twilight Zone Museum attempts to provide what can’t be found elsewhere.

So, there you have it. And this site will be online as long as humanly possible. We’ve been Serving Man for nearly a generation! Figuratively. If you want literal, you’ll need to talk to the Kanamits about it. They have the recipes.
