Scary Good: TV's 15 Greatest Fright Nights

THE TWILIGHT ZONE
(1959-64)

To mimic Rod Serling's introductory monologue to his ground-breaking anthology program: It lies in the pit of man's fears (and hopefully somewhere in your DVD collection). This is a television show with imagination. It is a series which we call The Twilight Zone. The coordinates are a little sketchy: It's in an alternative universe, a fifth dimension, somewhere between heaven, sky, and earth, a middle ground, off a highway exit, on the outskirts of a small town, around the block, or the next stop....But the episodes are as well known as the back of your hand: ''To Serve Man,'' ''The Eye of the Beholder,'' and that terrifying tale of air travel gone awry, ''Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.''
