Found this site today. Way cool.
Before the revival of the Twilight Zone by CBS during 1985 I became hooked on the original series. No, not the television series, but the original writings by the original authors, including Serling, Charles Beaumont, and Richard Matheson. The scripts and shorts were at the library in compendium form. Before the days of 4,006 cable channels, you only got to see the 1959-1964 televised versions in rare moments.
I loved the literary versions because television does have limitations. As it relates to the Twilight Zone, the written effect was always stronger. Those guys could write.
However, I absolutely loved the mid-80s televised revival. I remembered waiting all week just for Friday night at 8pm. My buddy and I spent our time during school planning where to watch. The hour-long series was cool to watch, hip, exciting and fresh. For many years after, the CBS episodes were only available by rusting memory. But now, thanks to the power of the internet, I can watch all episodes from the first three revival seasons…on-demand.
I thought this Radio Drama site was worth sharing, because when it comes to the eerie and thrilling nature of the original stories, audio-only has a more powerful effect than televised. I downloaded the 3 free episodes.
