Hi listeners of THE TWILIGHT ZONE RADIO DRAMAS, thank you for checking out our website and my producer's blog. Here's what's happening new with the series.

The big news is that we're about to begin producing brand new stories, ones you've never heard (or seen) before. Let me explain: Since we launched the series back in 2002 we've been creating radio versions of the original 156 TWILIGHT ZONE TV episodes which aired on television from 1959 through 1964.

We've produced over 130 radio versions of the original 156 TV shows with an occasional radio version of an "unaired or unproduced" TV script. For example: "Gentlemen, Be Seated" (our version starred Stan Freberg and Mike Starr) "Free Dirt" (our version starred Eric Bogosian) and "The Time Element" (our version starred Bobby Slayton) a Rod Serling teleplay that aired on "The Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse" that Rod had hoped would be used as the pilot episode for THE TWILIGHT ZONE TV series. Factoid: The eventual pilot was "Where Is Everybody?" starring Earl Holliman (our radio version starred John Schneider).

So, I'm very excited to announce that even though we have close to 30 more of the original TV shows to convert to radio, I've been commissioning writers of today to create fresh new stories -- I'm in the process of writing a few myself so go easy on me will ya : )

If you are a published WGA mystery/science fiction writer and you're interested in learning more about how you could submit a script, please send your professional writing resume to me at camari@falconpicturegroup.com - please: published WGA writers only need apply.

Some celebs we've recently had in the studio starring in our shows include: Karen Black in "Bewitchin' Pool," and "The Hunt" (co-starring Shelley Berman), Mariette Hartley in "Night Call," and on April 2nd Lou Gossett, Jr. is starring in "Steel," and "Probe 7 - Over and Out."

Please check back with me next week for more NEWS FROM THE ZONE!
