Rod Serling dictating a teleplay

Imagine a new Twilight Zone episode, and write Rod Serling's
opening and closing narrations. Give it a title. Send us your entry!

How to Win
Don't write a treatment; this is more like a 60-second pitch. And it’s OK to leave some mystery: stimulate our imagination! EXAMPLES: read last year's winners--and all the entries--here.

Warm yourself up by writing new narrations for an existing episode, and read it aloud to friends to see if they recognize which episode. Then write the narrations for your original idea.
  • Maximum word count, excluding titles and labels: 150 words total, both narrations combined.
  • Maximum entries: 2 per person.
  • Title and Narrations onlyany additional content will be ignored.
  • We will not consider a previous entry.
  • Deadline: Halloween 2018 (October 31)
