We've all heard of the Twilight Zone. The Iconic series would have an ill-fated movie spin-off in the 1980's. An accident on set leading to the death of the actor Vic Morrow and two children.
The Twilight Zone was a trail blazing sci-fi series created by the legendary writer Rod Serling. It was a world away from anything on TV at the time with the airwaves choked with shoot-em-up Westerns and alike.
Over 5 seasons the initial buzz began to subside and the show was cancelled. It's legacy lived on however, leading to the show being revived several times. It also lead to the creation of an ill-fated movie spin off in the 1980's.
With segments directed by several up and coming talents, it would be the portion directed by John Landis that would lead to tragedy.
