The end of an era. Senensky was the last surviving director of both STAR TREK and THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Heartbroken to hear about the passing of our dear friend, the great RALPH SENENSKY as he boldly goes into the final frontier of the undiscovered country. He will truly be missed.

He helmed memorable episodes spotlighting Leonard Nimoy and Ellen Corby on those shows, plus the three-part pilot for 'Dynasty.'

29. Thir13en Ghosts
The practical effects and Matthew Lillard shine in this haunted house film on steroids. Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame masterfully crafted each of the titular ghosts, and knocked it out of the park.

On this day in 1959, Martin Sloan took a mile-and-a-half walk back to his hometown and learned there's only one summer per customer in "Walking Distance". A phenomenal episode about slowing down and appreciating life accompanied by a legendary score by Bernard Hermann. #TheTwilightZone

28. Hell House LLC Origins: The Carmichael Manor
This film succeeds by bringing the Hell House franchise back to its roots. Simple, but still expands the lore. Most important of all: it has effective scares.

Moody, atmospheric, and out of focus! The lingering, unsettling vibe is the only thing going for this experimental horror flick. Almost no narrative, audible dialogue, or scares. This one didn't work for us.

22. In A Violent Nature
A modern slasher with clear influences from the Friday the 13th franchise. The film has a vision, but there's not enough here to fill out its runtime. It would have been better served as a short film.

Yes! She was also the only person to star in one episode and direct another
Wasn't she also the only female to direct an episode?

On this day in 1959, the world first saw Ida Lupino's silver screen journey in "The Sixteen-Millimeter Shrine." While not a universally beloved episode, the fantastic cinematography and memorable performance from Lupino make this a worthy addition to The Twilight Zone canon. #ZoneSky #Zoners
