Product Description:

A landmark in the history and development of science fiction, TALES OF TOMORROW has fallen into relative obscurity in modern times, despite the fact that phenomena such as STAR TREK and THE TWILIGHT ZONE would never have been the same without it. This collection is an important effort at rectifying that oversight, and it is a wealth of entertaining and thought-provoking episodes, with a cast that includes such heavy-hitters as Paul Newman, Lon Chaney Jr., Leslie Nielsesn, and Thomas Mitchell. Richard Derr plays a scientist who has discovered a serum to grant eternal life in "The Miraculous Serum," while in "Ice From Space" a rocket recovered from outer space has infected the desert with freezing temperatures! Don't miss Lon Chaney Jr. in his performance of Frankenstein; this legendary, bizarre episode features an erratic, mumbling Chaney, who had, as the story goes, had a bit too much to drink before the shoot and remained convinced throughout that the broadcast was a dress rehearsal!
