Film Details

Mark Dawidziak, longtime Plain Dealer TV critic and author of the new book Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone (Thomas Dunne Books, 2017), introduces and discusses the 1983 anthology film that reimagines—for the big screen and in color—four episodes from Rod Serling’s landmark supernatural/horror TV series. A quartet of the cinema’s best fantasy filmmakers—Joe (Gremlins) Dante, John (American Werewolf in London) Landis, George (Mad Max) Miller, Steven (E.T.) Spielberg—each direct a segment, with Landis also overseeing the movie’s prologue and epilogue. Dan Aykroyd, Albert Brooks, Scatman Crothers, John Lithgow, Vic Morrow, and Kathleen Quinlan star, but there are some notable cameos. Dawidziak will sell and sign copies of his book after the screening. 101 min.
