This is a promo that aired on CBS promoting the series premiere for "The Twilight Zone", the first revival of the 1959-64 Rod Serling anthology series of the same name. The network version ran from September 27, 1985 to July 17, 1987. A year later, the final season aired in syndication from September 24, 1988 to April 15. 1989.
CBS decided to revive the series due to the original series popularity on syndication, as well as the reception from the 1983 Steven Spielberg movie adaptation "Twilight Zone: The Movie".
Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead recorded a new version of the iconic theme song for the new series.
