This was a decently spooky easily consumable ghost story, though I sincerely doubt it would have been as chilling if I hadn't listened to it on audio; Steven Pacey's ghost voice really creeped me out and I don't think it would have been as effective just being read.

Librarian's Note: There is more than one author by this name. It did a great job of creating the right atmosphere but it was light on plot details. That's more the editor's fault than anyone else's and I know it doesn't really affect the story in any way, but I found it distracting.

  • The End of Uncle Tom
    1 THE END OF UNCLE TOM A woman, her body ripped vertically in half, introduces The End of Uncle Tom and the Grand Allegorical Tableau of Eva in Heaven from 1995 (figs.3 and 4), while a visual narra- tive with both life and death at stake undulates beyond the accusatory gesture of her pointed finger. An adult man raises his hands to the sky, begging for deliverance, and delivers a baby. A second man, obese and legless, stabs one child with his sword while joined at the pelvis with another. A trio of children play a dangerous game that involves a hatchet, a chopping block, a sharp stick, and a bucket. One child has left the group and is making her way, with rhythmic defecation, toward three adult women who are naked to the waist and nursing each other. A baby girl falls from the lap of one woman while reaching for her breast. With its references to scatology, infanticide, sodomy, pedophilia, and child neglect, this tableau is a troubling tribute to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin—the sentimental, antislavery novel written in 1852. It is clearly not a straightfor- ward illustration, yet the title and explicit references to racialized and sexualized violence on an antebellum plantation leave little doubt that there is a significant relationship between the two works. Cut from black paper and adhered to white gallery walls, this scene is composed of figures set within a landscape and depicted in silhouette. The medium is particularly apt for this work, and for Walker’s project more broadly, for a number of reasons.

    "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" by Rod Serling ACT I [Fade in on a shot of the sky...the various nebulae, and planet bodies stand out in sharp, sparkling relief. As the camera begins a slow pan across the heavens.] Narrator's Voice 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. [The CAMERA has begun to PAN DOWN until it passes the horizon and on a sign which reads, "Maple Street." PAN DOWN until we are shooting down at an angle toward the street below. It's a tree-lined, quiet residential American street, very typical of the small town. The houses have front porches on which people sit and swing on gliders, conversing across from house to house. Steve Brand polishes his car parked in front of his house. His neighbor, Don Martin, leans against the fender watching him. A Good Humor man rides a bicycle and is just in the process of stopping to sell some ice cream to a couple of kids. Two women gossip on the front lawn. Another man waters his lawn.] Narrator's Voice Maple Street, U.S.A., late summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, hop scotch, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Statement of Contributions The DISCOVER interaction model introduced in Chapter 3, and the studies presented in the subsequent chapters, are the result of collaborative work between me and my research colleagues. It is often difficult to state the exact amount of each person’s contributions or the exact evolution of the research. However, the following notes provide some indication for the amount of their involvement. 1. The DISCOVER interaction model was developed by me, in collaboration with Dr. Stacey Scott. An earlier, simplified version of this model was used by Mindy Seto in her thesis work (Seto, 2012) and a study on menu discoverability (Seto et al., 2012). I was the author and presenter of the paper describing the early stages of this model in a peer-reviewed international conference under the following citation: Cheung, V. (2014).

All rights reserved. Author permissions are required to reprint all or part of this work. www.twilightzonemuseum.com * www.facebook.com/twilightzonemuseum Preface At this late date, little has not been said about The Twilight Zone. It’s often imitated, appropriated, used – but never remotely matched. From its quiet and decisively non-ostentatious beginnings, it steadily grew into its status as an icon and televisional gemstone…and not only changed the way we looked at the world but became an integral part of it. But this isn’t to say that the talk of it has been evenly distributed. Certain elements, and full episodes, of the Rod Serling TV show get much more attention than others. Various characters, plot elements, even plot devices are well-known to many. But I dare say that there’s a good amount of the series that remains unknown to the masses. In particular, there has been very much less talk, and even lesser scholarly treatment, of the second half of the series. This “study” is two decades in the making. It started from a simple episode guide, which still exists. Out of it came this work. The timing is right. In 2019, the series turns sixty years old.

  • Gothic Literature Introduction to the U
    Landowski 1 Jaclynn Landowski English 112B Dr. Warner 21 November 2013 Unit of Study: Gothic Literature Introduction to the Unit – “Why Teach Gothic Literature to Young Adults” The word “gothic” has a bad reputation in many aspects of culture. When it comes to gothic literature, however, the word “gothic” is somewhat empowering and carries with it well- known names such as Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Anne Rice, and Bram Stoker. Many underestimate the value of gothic literature because of the supernatural elements it often incorporates, but the genre has a lot to say about the issues that young adults have to deal with on a daily basis. Not only do the genre’s canonical works speak to young adults, but so also do the many works that are being written exclusively for young adults. Young adult gothic literature is rapidly growing in popularity and contains themes underneath the supernatural that are accessible to the wider young adult audience. Gothic literature makes reading fun, submersing young adults in a world different from – yet eerily similar to – their own. Young adults take a journey to this world and – possibly without knowing it – discover who they are along the way. The rationale for teaching a unit on Gothic literature to young adults is that the Gothic genre has its roots in history. This, in addition to its current increasing popularity among teens, gives the Gothic genre a stronghold in the literary canon that students should be aware of as they proceed with their education. Much like young adult literature itself, some tend to shove Gothic literature aside saying that it is just for “Goths” or for those who are depressed.

  • Twilight Zone 1X01
    THE TWILIGHT ZONE Episode 101: "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?" Written by Rod Serling ACT ONE STANDARD ROAD OPENING Shot of the sky... the various nebulae and planet bodies stand out in sharp, sparkling relief. As the camera begins a slow pan across the Heavens -- NARRATOR'S VOICE There is a sixth 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 man's grasp and his reach; between science and superstition; between the pit of his fears and the sunlight of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area that might be called the Twilight Zone. The camera has begun to pan down until it passes the horizon and is flush on the opening shot (each week the opening shot of the play). We are now looking down the small two-lane asphalt highway. It is dawn, the road is deserted save for a small diner on the left hand side. A broken neon light flashes on and off over the front door. From inside the sound of a rock-'n'-roll record lends a strange, raucous dissonance to the early morning silence. Then the camera sweeps right for a LONG SHOT MIKE FERRIS Who suddenly appears, walking down the road. His step is tentative, unsure. He's a tall man in his thirties. His dress is nondescript, his only identifiable garment being army pants. There's an indecisiveness, a puzzlement, in his features as he comes closer to the camera, sees the diner, stops, rubs his knuckles over the side of his face and feels his beard's stubble.

This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Uncanny Reminders: The ‘Nazi’ in Popular Culture by Tamara Lynn Tobler B.A., University of Victoria, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Helga Thorson, Supervisor (Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies) Dr. Charlotte Schallié, Departmental Member (Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies) iii Supervisory Committee Dr. Helga Thorson, Supervisor (Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies) Dr. Charlotte Schallié, Departmental Member (Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies) Abstract The ubiquity of the ‘Nazi’ – the fictional Doppelgänger of the historical Nazi – in the various media of popular culture is both disturbing and fascinating. There is an important relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience; related to but separate from the historical Nazi, the creation and reception of the ‘Nazi’ both enables and exemplifies the continual processing of the past. Using a purpose-built framework (concept and terminology) for the study of the ‘Nazi’ as a phenomenon in and of itself, in combination with Freud’s concept of the uncanny, this thesis examines the dynamics of the relationship between the ‘Nazi’ and its audience in four examples: television episodes “Deaths-Head Revisited,” “He’s Alive” (The Twilight Zone), and “Patterns of Force” (Star Trek); and Serdar Somuncu’s performances/readings of Mein Kampf.

A man looks out of an open window at the storm and then turns to reveal his anguished FACE. This is DAVID ELLINGTON -- grim, wild-eyed, graying around the temples -- as he addresses some unseen person urgently, amid the ROAR of thunder, the HOWL of the wind, and the PATTER of rain. ELLINGTON I know. It's -- it's an incredible story. I, of all people, know this. And you won't believe me. No, not at first. But I'm going to tell you the whole thing. Then, you will believe, because you must. You must believe. It happened many years ago, after the First World War. I was on a walking trip through central Europe. But one night, I...

  • The Twilight Zone: Rod Serling's Stage for Social Criticism
    EXPLORATIONS: The Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities for the State of North Carolina 1 The Twilight Zone: Rod Serling’s Stage for Social Criticism Michael Tildsley Campbell University Faculty Mentor: Donna Waldron, PhD English Department Campbell University Nearly fifty years after its television premiere, Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone remains pertinent, ground-breaking television. When it arrived on the CBS network in 1959, Serling’s show was only one of two Science Fiction or Fantasy programs to premiere on television that year. This same year saw the production of eight new Private Detective shows and a massive twelve new programs from the Western genre. Facing these staggering numbers, a show presenting Science Fiction and Fantasy elements stood out in a crowd of otherwise uniform television programs. In addition, besides their thematic connection, the majority of shows featured on television were joined by another common thread: commercial driven censorship. Television in the mid 1950’s primarily consisted of realistic television dramas performed live. Such programs as The United States Steel Hour and Playhouse 90 dominated the prime time airwaves. It was toward the end of this movement that Rod Serling emerged as a writing talent for television and achieved a fair amount of success in that realm. In fact, by the time “Rod Serling created The Twilight Zone, he was one of television’s hottest writers. He had already won Emmy awards for his dramatic teleplays for Patterns (1955) and Requiem for a Heavyweight (1956),” two teleplays he wrote to be performed in this live format (Phillips and Garcia 467).
