Showcasing footage from episodes like To Serve Man, Living Doll, and The Invaders, the recently released video adds a whole lot of nostalgic color to the series' 59th anniversary.

This is definitely exciting news for Twilight Zone fans. The original series which was shot entirely in black and white lasted for five seasons on CBS, running from 1959 to 1964. The series became so popular, it gave birth to theme park attractions, stage productions, and even radio show attractions.
Now, with the Twilight Zone officially on the way, we can't wait to see Jordan's treatment of the series.
The Twilight Zone reboot is slated to premiere sometime 2019.
