Full Schedule for Syfy’s 4th of July “Twilight Zone” Marathon
You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
There’s never been a more brilliant, groundbreaking TV series than “The Twilight Zone,” which was WAY ahead of its time back in the 1950s. The original series ran for five seasons, from 1959 to 1964, and it’s still blowing minds all these decades later.
It’s been an annual tradition for many years now for Syfy to air marathons of “The Twilight Zone” in celebration of both New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July, and this year is no exception. Syfy’s annual 4th of July marathon of the anthology series will run for an incredible 29-HOURS LONG!
The fun kicks off at 12am on July 4th and ends at 5:00am on July 5th.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
