Ditto on those TZ episodes. After awhile, you could watch one, get that kick in the pants at the end, and you just KNEW it was gonna say "Written by Charles Beaumont" in the credits. Great tribute, and God bless Rod Serling as well, also a hero of mine. 👍💪🙏😊

Beaumont with the tropes of speculative fiction was like a skilled jazz musician reworking an old Tin Pan Alley standard into something new and fresh.

The man had incredible range to capture the imagination of the reader and delivered delightful twist endings. He will always be one of my literary heroes.

Big Twilight Zone fan, so the name is very familiar. "The Howling Man" is a fave.
