Quotes[]
- Narrator: Forty years ago, Rod Serling introduced us to a monster. A monster so powerful, he was able to make the world disappear, just by using his mind. For the residents of Peaksville, Ohio, the nightmare had begun. The monster knew their every thought, could feel their every emotion, and when they made him angry, which was often, he would banish them into a cornfield, from which there was no return. And the most frightening about this monster was that he was only six years old. Now, it's forty years later, and the people of Peaksville are still in Hell. Oh, yes, there's one other thing. The monster now has a child of his own, and though she possesses none of her father's powers, he still loves her very... very much.
....
- Narrator: No lesson to be learned here. No morals to be taught. Just an update from Peaksville, Ohio, where Anthony and Audrey Fremont want you to think happy thoughts. And you better do as you're told... otherwise, you might wind up in that cornfield... known as the Twilight Zone.
