...In the TV show The Twilight Zone, there is an episode called “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.” We read the teleplay by Rod Sterling, then watched the TV episode March 4, 1960. There were many similarities between the two, and a few differences. There are many differences between the show and the teleplay. The show had music, and that made it much more dramatic. The music set the mood for the episode. In the teleplay, since there was no music, it wasn’t as dramatic, and there wasn’t as much suspense. In the show, Les Goodman talked about insomnia, in the teleplay, he just said that he couldn’t sleep so he took a walk and looked at the stars.

...Imagine people turning on each other and accusing people they have known for years because of the fear they have. That is exactly what happened in the videos of 1960 and 2003 of “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” by Rod Serling. Fear is being caused by people finger pointing and assuming they are terrorists or aliens. All of this chaos causes they fear the people have. We all know for a fact that fear of the unknown can cause people to turn on each other. To begin with, all of the chaos and destruction is caused by paranoia In the 1960 version of “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street.” Everything starts when everyone on Maple Street hears a loud roar or what might be thunder or a meteor. All of the electricity goes off and cars won’t turn on. Tommy, a 14 year old boy, says “I read about a ship landing from outer space.” This theory causes everyone to start finger pointing...

...The Monster are Due on Maple Street Rob Sterlings message to the reader is Fear can make people and ourselves act out in certain ways that we normally wouldn’t. The theme starts to appear when Mr. Goodman a character in the story car turns on all by itself and the other Citizens of Maple Street begin to accuse him because the fear in that their brain creates automatically just thinks that Mr. goodman could be a threat because all the power went out on the street and steve another main character tried to start his car earlier and failed so they mob Mr. Goodman and his family. In the text it says “I just don't understand it. I tried to start it and it wouldn't start. You saw me. All of you saw me.” “Maybe you better tell us. Nothing's working...

..."The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" ?I'm going to talk about the monsters are due on maple street, although I'm going to compare and contrast to the 1960"s version to the 2002 version. Well the 1960"s version was different because of the old technology, the color, language, and the characters.The 2002 version has more bad language, color. characters are different, and technology has been upgraded. In both of these episodes they are both are blaming people like the new people in the 2002 people and the 1960"s version was blaming them because non of the lights were working or cars and someone's lights were going on.There are a lot of different historical compare and contrasts about the 1960"s and 2002 versions. The 1960 one they had old phones and dressed more descent and act proper and everyone in the neighborhood has the same houses. The 2002 they had phones and didn’t dress all proper and the houses were all different the 1960s they didn’t show hurt or death, you could only hear shots being fired. 2002 version you seen people getting hurt and not close up shots just far shots from the camrea.they had old cars in 160"s. The 1960"s had old cars, the 2002 version had new cars not old. The characters are different from 1960"s version and 2002.

...Frantic people in a neighborhood are influenced about what others say because they have no logical reasons themselves. In “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” , lights go off , citizens in a neighborhood have no idea as to why this happened , but once someone accuses a local neighbor everyone else falls subject to herd mentality and without any evidence accuse the person. This is an example of herd mentality because it shows just how easily people fall into it , no one knew if the accuser was correct but others were going along with it so eventually everyone else believed the accuser. It can be seen as a domino effect , one falls into a crowd and eventually everyone else does as...

...The screen play and the TV episode March 4, 1960 of The Twilight Zone, are similar in some ways and different in others. One similarity between the episode and screen play is that they both took place on Maple Street. Although it took place on Maple Street, the people in the setting was a bit different, for instance in the screen play there was two kids getting ice cream, while in the TV episode there were three kids. In the TV episode Les’ car started and turned off two times while in the screen play it only turned off and on once, and while Les is explaining that he isn’t a monster some lines are added in the TV episode.

...childish light on the genre and most people tend to dismiss it as being no more than mindless entertainment. While there has certainly been a surplus of the campy science fiction shows on the air, some shows have used the science fiction genre to tackle serious social issues as well. This essay will take a look at two shows 54 years apart and will analyze how both use social concerns of the time period and create memorable narratives that speculate about human behavior and interactions. The first show this essay will look at is the generation defining classic The Twilight Zone (1959-1964), and the second show is a modern cult hit from the United Kingdom Utopia (2013-2014). //Through a comparative analysis of the episode “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street” from The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) and “Episode 5” of the British cult hit, Utopia (2013-2014) this essay illustrates how the science fiction genre can be and has been used generation after generation to highlight certain social issues. Whereas The Twilight Zone uses America’s anxieties of communism and consumer culture to cause paranoia in the early sixties, Utopia uses big business, government conspiracies, and overpopulation in a plot that stirs up concern for the environment. Ultimately this essay will illustrate how social issues lay the foundation for a compelling science fiction narrative. \\ Shortly after WWII ended US soldiers returned home to a country very different than the one they had left. Jobs and wages were...

...A lot of people in America during the Cold War were very scared of the USSR, because of that they acted out of character, completely not like themselves. People were scared the USSR were going to bombed them at any second, and that their own neighbors could be communist spies. One example of what people can believe when they are scared, is when Senator Joseph McCarthy made the whole country go into a massive panic with a lie. He said that he had a list of spies, which he picked with barely any evidence this idea is called McCarthyism. "... he even worked with the FBI to obtain information on people's backgrounds and whereabouts," (The Cold War by Jessica McBirney, Page 3, Paragraph 16). The only way people could prove they were loyal to America...

...Chapter 1 I Get What I Pay For Welcome to Red Grove. Population 200 “Now, two hundred and one,” I murmured as I passed the painted wooden sign in my trusty red Jeep. Small towns like Red Grove always made me think of horror movies as if a gap-toothed, overall-wearing butcher might hobble out of his deep woods shanty, pitchfork in hand, at any moment. The town had an off the charts creepy factor. On my right, a dark forest worthy of the Brothers Grimm. On my left, a cemetery edged in a weathered wrought iron fence. I think there were more than two hundred headstones. More dead than living. Nice. There must be some mistake. I came here to start over. Could a new life be hiding behind the unappealing rural exterior? My promised house remained a mystery. I double-checked the notebook with my father’s scrawled directions resting on the passenger’s seat next to me. Technically, I’d lived in Red Grove as a child, but we’d moved before I turned two. I didn’t remember the town at all or the residents, living or dead. I shifted my attention back to my driving. “Holy shit!” I proclaimed as I overcorrected the wheel, and my foot drifted from the gas. The man on the side of the road was so attractive I could’ve died—literally. He was planting something. A tree, I think. Every time his shovel hit the dirt, a ripple coursed through his shoulders and down his stomach. I raised an eyebrow at the glint of sun on tanned, shirtless skin. Dark hair, low slung jeans. I tried not to...

...Fall of Asclepius By Harm 1 and Icrick Prologue Where should I begin? The apocalypse happened so fast. In less than a month, monsters infested every part of this world. People panicked, people died. They clawed at each other just to get out of all the infested areas around the world. There was problem about fleeing from infested areas. Everywhere was infested. There was no where anyone could go without encountering the walking plague. You know that phrase "War is Hell"? Well... it's dead wrong. War at least has some organization to it. What was faced in the last days... by last days I mean the last days of civilization not life; itself. What was faced was hell. Everyone went ape shit insane. Everyone was killing and raping each other into oblivion, because we were under attack by creatures that was so beyond our understanding! Geez, there were many names given to these undead. Some called them demons, others called them lost souls. With all these names, I found only one that was truly worthy; Zombies. It was a simple word. At the same time it was the most complicated word to enter any human language. I mean just think about it... You say that word to anyone before the outbreak and what would they think of? They would, think of those horror movies or comic books where, for no reason what so ever, zombies appear all around the globe in an instance. That's not how it happened for us. There were signs for over two months. It's just that no one took the time to put the...
