On a tangential note, did you know that 65 episodes of The Twilight Zone (from 1959-60 season 1 & 2) are available on Netflix streaming right now? Pop over and add a few favorites to your queue.

[NOTE] I am extraordinarily cautious about what I post or share here at The Paranormalist. I live in fear of infringing on copyrights. When I REALLY want to share something, I go to great lengths to track down the website of the original artist so I can share directly from there. I found this video on Tom Waits official page, offered on page 3 in his video collection.
I just ordered the entire series of Twilight Zone a week or so ago. Popped in and watched Episode 1 today. It wasn’t too bad, makes me miss Malt Shops and diners where you could get a Hamburger “with greens, real tomatoes and even onions” – for a charge of course : )
Oh! What a treasure!
Do you tweet? We should live-tweet watching some episodes together – me on streaming, you with your discs.
I’ve never tried live tweeting (outside of my shifts at the #paranormalhotel.
I wish Netflix would get the old Night Gallery series or maybe The Sixth Sense series. What was he building in there? I thought a casket.
Streaming would be SO much better, but they do have it available on discs:

I think he’s building a rocket ship, but there’s no mention of mechanical clanking and whirring, so you’re probably closer 🙂
I think as long as you cite your sources, you’re going to be okay. I try to always do the same, but get lazy about it sometimes.
Every once in a while, I come across one of my old posts and think I should go in and clean that citation up. It’s too easy to get caught up in the minutiae, though. I think I do alright in the main.
I’ve been a Tom Waits fan for over 30 years and flipped my lid when I heard that song (or poem with strange sounds in the background). It’s one of the best horror shorts around.
It was completely new to me, and I was just blown away. I may be a new Tom Waits fan … was really impressed with the creative vibe over at his web page.
