VHS : The Twilight Zone: The After Hours/ Time Enough at Last [CUT OUT]In association with Amazon.comstarring: Twilight Zone EAN: 0618321093931 Format: Cutout, NTSC Label: Scde Manufacturer: Scde Publisher: Scde Release Date: July 17, 2001 Studio: Scde Sales Rank: 97613 Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Rod Serling was definitely in the Zone when he penned these two Twilight Zone classics. Attention shoppers! Available for the first time on video, The After Hours stars Anne Francis as a department store shopper who is shocked to be informed that the floor on which she bought a defective item that she wishes to return does not exist. And why does that mannequin bear an eerie resemblance to her missing saleswoman? This video also contains another must-own first-season episode, Time Enough at Last, starring Burgess Meredith in a signature series role as a bespectacled, henpecked bookworm who survives a nuclear blast and finds himself alone at last with his precious books. The ending seems unduly cruel, but it's one that all Zone aficionados rave about when they compare notes (see Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks in Twilight Zone: The Movie). This is the first of three Twilight Zone collectibles: tape 2 contains Living Doll, one of the series' scariest episodes, and the thoughtful Serling-penned gem The Eye of the Beholder. Tape 3 features the alien-in-a-diner puzzler Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up and To Serve Man, which TV Guide rightfully ranked as one of TV's top 100 episodes of all time. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - "Somebody!...Somebody!""Where Is Everybody?" is the title of the first TWILIGHT ZONE episode ever made; but the question is also asked by the protagonists of "Time Enough At Last" and "The After Hours." "Time Enough at Last" stars Burgess Meredith as a bookish bank teller named Henry Bemis. Scolded by his boss and his wife for being "a reader," Bemis retires to the bank's vault each day during his lunch hour to indulge his passion. One day while he is reading in the vault, a nuclear explosion occurs and the earth is ...

Who can ever forget Anne Francis as Marsha. Her impeccable performance and exquisite face are indelible. "Marsha" that very name and the way it was repeated over and over was so eerily unsettling sending chills down one's spine. This episode when compared to `WALKING DISTANCE' demonstrates the great versatility of Rod Serling ... Read More Rating: - Time Enough At LastThis video is excellent Iwatch it over and over again. Rating: - What Does it Mean to really be AloneLoneliness in its many forms is a recurrent theme that somehow seems very special to Rod Serling and THE TWILIGHT ZONE. "The After Hours" is one of the most haunting and unforgettable episodes. Anne Francis as Marsha gives one of the best-remembered performances from the entire series. Rod Serling examines the form of the department store mannequin in this eerie tale. This is one episode that you just never get out of your head. There seems to be a parallel or analogy with the darker regions of a department ...
