Happy Birthday Rod Serling!

Born on Christmas Day in 1924 was a writer with a most unique sense of wonder.  The mind behind this writer created a television series that would change the way the world viewed science fiction, fantasy, and horror.  The series is "The Twilight Zone" and the man is Rod Serling.
