@Sidewinder Sorry, I asked about classic (original) Twilight zone themes. I suppose I could’ve opened it up to the movie, the 1985, 2002, or 2019 reboots. I was curious about those first themes. No offense intended.

Sidewinder · 36-40, M

@bijouxbroussard No offense taken. But did you know that the theme to the 1985 reboot was composed by The Grateful Dead?

bijouxbroussard · F

@Sidewinder No ! But it makes a lot of sense, actually.

The one I remember hearing is the second one, but I love the orchestrations in the first; it sounds like there's a harp in there. Very cool.

@Rutterman If they had a sense of humor!😜It might give the place a needed boost!😆

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@Peaches Yes. They'd find people here would love it. I'm sure of this. 😄

Bartleby · 51-55, M

Definitely the later theme.

@Jeffrey53 Very cool. No one introduced it like Rod Serling himself did (imo).

tindrummer · M

I don't remember the 1st - it's great.

Rutterman · 46-50, M

The later theme, but even the first one is significantly better than most TV series intros today.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

The first one.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Burnley123 Me, too. 😄

Season 2 intro 👍

Piper · 61-69, F

I like the first one just a little bit more, but it's almost 'a tie'.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Piper I liked the first one because it was eerie and scared me as a kid. The second theme, less so. 😄

Piper · 61-69, F

@bijouxbroussard I think the first one is eerier, too, but I like the theme song in the second one. :)

FlowersNButterflies · 61-69, F

I like to skip intros, but with DVDs, I can't. The second although I just bought the entire first series.

Dino11 · M

Door number two, like that spinning in or out.

Jeffrey53 · 51-55, M

I like the first one second one it’s like they want to hypnotize you

DIABLISS

both

Jeephikelove · 46-50, F

Number 2

SageWanderer · 70-79, M

I guess the second one is pretty much stuck in my memory.

MethDozer · M

The surreal original always creeped me out more but the later theme is much more iconic and film nior(ish).

sciguy18 · M

I’m much more familiar with the latter, but prefer the former.

bijouxbroussard · F

@sciguy18 I preferred the former, too, because it was more eerie.

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

I didn’t know there were two different kinds. I just watched whichever came on tv

Pinkstarburst

Always the first

bijouxbroussard · F

@Pinkstarburst Me, too

jimjim1969 · M

1962 is best

Serling was a gifted man who in addition to writing producing The Twilight zone (on a ridiculously low budget) wrote many screenplays for Hollywood,Seven Days in May, Requiem for a Heavyweight,and The Doomsday Flight etc..I guess I prefer the second selection but ,my, the good die young

seemingly one of a dying breed of men with integrity in that industry

craig7 · 70-79, M

The second,1962 version is the one I recall more clearly than the original - and watching and listening again now to both,I prefer the '62 intro.

Mamapolo2016 · F

The second, I think.

SledgeHammer · 46-50, M

This is so weird.. I was just looking at the intros yesterday...

The older ones are cool

REMsleep · 41-45, F

I like them both so much. The first intro makes me feel like I am getting ready to be transported to a creepy place through a strange bedtime story.

The second's music is pretty dated from the 60s but is perfect anyway. Instantly I have goosebumps.

Iwillwait · M

For me, it was always the second one.

CorvusBlackthorne · M

I am torn, honestly. I prefer the later introduction, for the most part, but I much prefer the title font from season 1.

thewindupbirdchronicles · 46-50, M

I prefer the one from 1962, but it's the one I know and remember.

Montanaman · M

Later theme. 👍

And then there was [b]Night Gallery. [/b]
