We need to know! It's hard to think of a popular TV series which has not at some time made reference to or parodied something from The Twilight Zone. References abound in feature films as well.We need to know! It's hard to think of a popular TV series which has not at some time made reference to or parodied something from The Twilight Zone.

As part of the Rod Serling Conference being held on campus in early October, Professor Ari Kissiloff will be working on a multimedia presentation about the pervasiveness of Serling and Twilight Zone references in the popular culture (such as the Plant of the Apes reference in Madagascar).
Although our list is already quite extensive, Professor Kissiloff is still looking for your favorite TZ/Serling references in popular culture. Please e-mail the name of the show/movie/etc., description of the reference, as well as any specifics you can think of (episode name/number, etc.) to Professor Kissiloff. Participants will be recognized in the slideshow credits.
Please note that since we have another conference presentation on TZ references in The Simpsons, we will not be covering this show to avoid redundancy at the conferences.
