Stephen King: The Outer Limits Had Better Horror Than The Twilight Zone
The Outer Limits is often considered second to The Twilight Zone, but Stephen King believes it actually had better horror stories than Rod Serling’s classic show. Serling pioneered a new kind of TV storytelling with The Twilight Zone. Censors and advertisers wouldn’t let him tell straightforward political stories on television, but they would let him allegorize real-world issues through science fiction.
