There is a fifth dimension
AntimatterDevo Was RightGates of SteelRegistered Userregular
Beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space, and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow. Between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area that we call... The Twilight Zone.
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to chrystal clarity. For the next hour sit quietly and we will control all you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery that reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.
Let's talk about these great anthologies of interest.
You're entering a realm which is, unusual, the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. You're on a scenic route through a state recreation area known as the human mind. Maybe it's magic or contains some kind of monster or some kind of weird mirror, these are just examples, it could be something much better. You ask a passer-by for directions only to find he has no face or something. Suddenly, up ahead, a door in the road. You swerve, narrowly avoiding... THE SCARY DOOR...

Correct. Anyone else notice the major difference between the two? Bad things happened to bad people in Twilight Zone, bad stuff happened to good people in Outer Limits.

the exact same twist happened to a misanthropic person who mistreated his family who liked to read. When Twilight Zone was low on cash, they redid the same concept but with a different interpretation. Plus, I should have said ON AVERAGE, bad stuff happened to bad people.

Earlier this year, I got an awesome Twilight Zone book. It had a few of the episodes in text form, but plenty of new stories in it as well.
Background
Rod Serling quoted in The Twilight Zone Companion:
“ Matheson and I were going to fly to San Francisco... It was like three or four weeks in constant daily communication with Western Airlines, preparing a given seat for him, having the stewardess close the [curtains] when he sat down, and I was going to say, “Dick, open it up.” I had this huge, blown-up poster stuck on the [outside of the window] so that when he opened it there would be a gremlin staring at him. So what happened was, we get on the plane, there was the seat, he sits down, the curtains are closed, I lean over and say, “Dick”—at which point they start the engines and it blows the thing away. It was an old prop airplane... He never saw it. And I had spent hours in the planning of it. I would lie in bed thinking how we could do this.

The less said about the 90's incarnation of The Outer Limits the better. The average ending for that was EVERYBODY DIES.

Neither have I, but it would be pretty cool, you have to admit
the kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror
these are just examples; it could also be something much better
