Yes, the “Blurryman” Actually Did Appear in the Background of Every “Twilight Zone” Episode
Last week’s must-watch season finale of CBS All Access’s “The Twilight Zone” was titled “Blurryman” and it suggested that the titular “Blurryman” had been hiding in every single episode of the new series thus far. But was he really there all along, like the hidden ghosts in Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House”? As it turns out, yes, he actually was!
If you don’t want any “Blurryman” spoilers, avoid this article until you watch it…
Those who watched the finale know that the “Blurryman” was actually Rod Serling himself, and yup, Serling was indeed hiding in the background of every Season One episode. He wasn’t actually *blurry* most of the time, but if you go back and watch the episodes previous to “Blurryman” and you pay super close attention, you’ll notice him hanging out in random shots.
The folks over at TV Guide documented all the Serling sightings, with included screen-grabs!
Here are just a few, from “The Comedian,” “A Traveler” and “The Blue Scorpion.”
AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
