The second collection of Twilight Zone "Treasures" features three quintessential examples of the show at its metaphorical, ironic best, allegories and morality plays disguised as thrillers and science fiction tales. "The Masks" (directed by Ida Lupino) stars Robert Keith as a dying patriarch with a death-bed Mardi Gras surprise for his petty family. John Carradine stars as a secretive monk with a mysterious prisoner locked in his hidden monastery in "The Howling Man." "Eye of the Beholder" is perhaps the most famous episode of the series, played almost completely in a twilight fog as the camera takes a behind-the-bandages view of a recovering plastic surgery patient until the startling revelation at the conclusion. Panasonic's package features the same supplements as the first Treasures collection, most notably a TV interview with Rod Serling conducted by Mike Wallace and an industrial film starring Serling to "pitch" potential advertisers for the in-production series, both from 1959. In addition a number of brief text presentations (taken from Mark Scott Zicree's definitive book The Twilight Zone Companion) offer historical background on the series and the individual episodes. The menu is designed around the floating eyeball from the series's credits sequence--just roll the gazing eyeball around to the item of your choice! --Sean Axmaker --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
