You don’t need a national holiday day to visit the so-called dimension of imagination: the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, that lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. But if you’re looking for a reason to rewatch, or finally watch, “The Twilight Zone,” Rod Serling’s seminal 1959-64 sci-fi anthology series, there is an actual holiday: May 11 is National Twilight Zone Day.
While Syfy, the cable home of the black-and-white classic, serves up a full-day marathon starting at 8 a.m. ET, you can stream our picks for the best episodes any time on Paramount Plus, which houses all five seasons, and for free on Pluto TV (excluding season 4, when episodes ballooned to an hour).
