Carol For Another Christmas

Here’s a celebrated Christmas tale you probably haven’t seen. It was shown on television, only once, in 1964. But the print has now resurfaced, allowing for continuing views of this modern-day “classic.”

We call it a classic because it’s based on a hallmark Christmas saga — Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Story. Rod Serling adapted that tale for a more contemporary retake, involving an embittered industrialist whose son died on Christmas Eve during World War II.  Just as in the Dickens’ original, this tycoon, Daniel Grudge (played by Sterling Hayden), is visited by three Ghosts — Christmas Past, Present and Future.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the Oscar-winning director of All About Eve and Sleuth,  takes the helm for the TV special presentation. The cast is quite stellar, not only including Eva Marie Saint and Ben Gazzara, but also in supporting roles — Peter Sellers, Robert Shaw, Britt Ekland and Pat Hingle.

Here is the 1959 episode of The Twilight Zone mentioned by the Dark Journalist for its veiled references to the X-Project. The episode is called “And When The Sky Was Opened,” and introduces us to three astronauts (played by Rod Taylor, Jim Hutton and Charles Aidman) who return from a mission in a new, supersonic space craft. After they land in the Mojave Desert, their lives strangely begin to change. Soon, they will face erasure from all existence.

The episode was directed by Douglas Heyes and written by Rod Serling, based on a short story by Richard Matheson. Matheson himself would become a prolific contributor to The Twilight Zone. His sci-fi and fantasy stories have inspired many films, including The Incredible Shrinking Man, Omega Man, I Am Legend and Somewhere In Time.

Twilight Zone Did It First

You might be surprised by just how many times The Twilight Zone did it first. From shows like “The Good Place” to films like “Us,” the impact of Rod Serling’s creation can be heavily felt. Considering that the series aired all the way back in 1958, it makes sense that so many modern artists have looked to it for inspiration. WatchMojo.com ranks the times The Twilight Zone did it first.
