Ep. 11 - The Twilight Zone & Flowers in the Attic
from Forgotten Fiction · host BrownTown Productions
Paris brings the series that drew up the blueprint. Rod Serling came home from World War II with a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, and something to say. The Twilight Zone ran from 1959 to 1964, introduced a forgotten episode written by Richard Matheson and became the most influential science fiction series in television history. Paris has seen every episode multiple times.Then Tommy brings the book Flowers in the Attic, published in 1979. It spent 14 weeks (although Tommy says "14 months" on the episode - oops) on the New York Times bestseller list and made her a phenomenon almost overnight. Then she died seven years later. There are nearly 100 books with V.C. Andrews on the cover now. It is a gothic horror fairy tale about what happens when a dead man's values keep making decisions long after he's gone.
