"There is a fifth dimension 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 which we call The Twilight
Zone".
