A collection of tales which range from comic to tragic, but often have a wicked sense of humor and an unexpected twist.
An updated version of the famous 1959 television series created by Rod Serling. Each week presents one to three tales about some unusual situation that turns out to be even more unusual than initially suspected. Whether the tone of the story is horror, suspense, or humor, there is always a surprise twist at the end.
