2.0 out of 5 stars Good For a TZ Fan's Coffee Table, June 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Visions from "the Twilight Zone" (Paperback)

This is a highly interesting book, which also includes the script to the episode "Eye of the Beholder". Stills from the original TZ are included and captions include lines from the episodes. However, the stills are of very poor quality and this works against the tolerance of the reader. It was published in 1990, five or so years before computer screen-capture devices were developed, and before the internet emerged. A creative little book, but 10 years ex post facto, it's no more than mildly interesting. If you're a TZ fan, buy a used copy and put it on your coffee table, like I did.

I purchased the book off of yahoo.com the book is great and should be amazon.com The author is very imaginative and it seems like the book itself comes alive while your reading it,The book is like no other book I've ever read.It has alot of action and it seems like it was written by a ghost. I highly recommmend this book to readers,because I think the author is a man who has been through alot of hell,the book is written by Rod E.

This review is from: Visions from The Twilight Zone (Hardcover)

Long, long out of print, Arlen Schumer's (best known for doing the cover art for Zicree's TZ Companion) fascinating photomontage book is one of the more interesting trip through Serling's Twilight Zone. Screencaps (done using an old 525 line tv for added effect) and dialogue snippets create an intresting mellange. Also included is the complete version of the famed "Eye of the Beholder" show in stills and an essay from the Village Voice. Essential for any fan of the show.
