1. The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street First Aired: 4 March 1960

2. There is a fifth dimension. Beyond that which is known to man.

3. It is a dimension as vast as space.

4. And as timeless as infinity.

5. It is the middle ground between light and shadow...

6. between science and superstition.

7. And it lies between the pit of man's fears...

8. and the summit of his knowledge.

9. This is the dimension of imagination.

10. It is an area which we call: The Twilight Zone.

11. Maple Street, U.S.A., late summer.

12. A tree-lined little world, barbecues, the laughter of children...

13. and the bell of an ice-cream vendor.

14. At the sound of the roar and the flash of light...

15. it will be precisely 6:43 p.m. on Maple Street.

16. What was that, a meteor? - Yeah, that's what it looked like.

17. I didn't hear any crash though. - I only heard a roar.

18. Steve, what was that? - I guess it was a meteor, honey.

19. It came awful close, didn't it? - Much too close for my money.

20. This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon.

21. Maple Street in the last calm and reflective moment...

22. before the monsters came.

23. Operator. Operator.

24. Operator.

25. Steve, the power's off. The stove just stopped working.

26. Is your phone all right? I can't get anybody on mine.

27. Our electricity isn't good. Is the power off?

28. I'll see if the power is still on in Floral Street.

29. Doesn't make sense. Why should the power go off and the phone line?

30. Maybe an electrical storm? - Now, that don't seem likely.

31. The sky's is blue as anything. Not a cloud. How could it be a storm?

32. Can't get a thing on the radio. Not even on the portable.

33. Let's go downtown and check with the police. They think we're crazy.

34. A little power failure and everybody gets flustered.

35. This isn't a power failure, Charlie. Even the portable radio doesn't work.

36. I'll take a run downtown. Maybe I can get it straightened out.

37. Strange. It was working fine before. - Are you out of gas?

38. I just filled it up. - It's as if everything stopped.

39. Maybe we'd better walk downtown. - Well, let's both go, Charlie.

40. Mr Brand, you better not. They don't want you to.

41. Who doesn't want us to? - Them.

42. 'Them'? - Who are 'Them'?

43. Whoever was in that thing that came by overhead.

44. That thing that came over. They don't want us to leave here.

45. What do you mean, Tommy?

46. They don't want us to leave. That's why they shut everything off.

47. What makes you say that? - What an idiotic story.

48. That's always so in every story about landings from outer space.

49. Outer space? Sal, you better put him to bed.

50. He's been reading too many comic books or so.

51. You stop that kind of talk. Come on, let's go.

52. Go ahead. We'll be right back and then you'll see.

53. It wasn't a ship. It was a meteor.

54. Likely as not, that's the cause Of the power failure and All the rest of it.

55. Meteors can do crazy things like, like sun spots.

56. Sure, sun spots raise cain with radio reception all over the world.

57. This thing was so close, there's no telling the sort of stuff it can do.

58. Go ahead, go into town, see if that isn't what's causing it all.

59. Mr Brand? Please don't go. You might not even be able to get to town.

60. It was that way in the story. Nobody could leave. Nobody except...

61. The people they'd sent down ahead. They looked just like humans. And...

62. Tommy, don't talk like that.

63. It's crazy. The kid tells a comic book plot and we stand listening.

64. Wait a minute.

65. What kind of a story was it? What about the people they sent ahead?

66. They prepared things for the landing.

67. They sent a mother, a father and two kids who looked just Like humans.

68. But they weren't.

69. Well, I guess what we need to do is run a check of the neighborhood...

70. and find out which ones of us are really human.

71. There's no use standing around making bum jokes about it.

72. Wonder if Floral Street's got the same kind of deal we have.

73. Where's Pete van Horn? Has he come back, yet?

74. Does your car start, Les? - No dice.

75. I don't know what's wrong.

76. Nothing seems to be working. Can't even get the car started.

77. Car started somehow. He got his car started.

78. How come his car just up and started like that?

79. All by itself. He wasn't anywhere near it.

80. He did come out to look at that flying thing. He wasn't interested.

81. He always was an oddball. Him and his whole family.

82. Now, why didn't he come out to look? - What do you say we go ask him?

83. Wait a minute.

84. Now, let's not be a mob.

85. I just don't understand it.

86. I tried to start it. It wouldn't start. All of you saw me.

87. I don't understand.

88. I swear I just don't understand.

89. What's happening? - Maybe you better tell us.

90. Nothing is working on this street. No lights, no power, no radio.

91. Nothing except one car. Yours. - How do you figure it started, Les?

92. Wait a minute, now. Just keep your distance. All of you.

93. So I've got a car that starts by itself. It's a freak thing, but...

94. does that make me a criminal? The car just started.

95. What's this all about, Steve? - We're on a monster kick, Les.

96. The general impression now holds that maybe there's a abnormal family.

97. Monsters from outer space or so. Different than us.

98. Fifth columnists from the vast beyond.

99. Do you know anybody that might fit that description on Maple Street?

100. What is this? A practical joke or something?

101. That's supposed to incriminate me, huh?

102. The car starts and stops and that really does it, huh?

103. I don't understand it any more than any of you do.

104. Look, you all know me. We've lived here for five years.

105. We aren't any different from you. The whole thing is just...

106. the whole thing is just weird. - If that's the case, then explain...

107. Explain what? - Let's just forget it.

108. Wait a minute. Let her talk. Go ahead, explain what?

109. Sometimes I stay up late at night and a couple of times...

110. A couple of times I've come out on my porch and I've seen Les Goodman...

111. in the wee hours standing in his yard just looking up at the sky.

112. Just looking up at the sky as though he were waiting for something.

113. As if he were looking for something. - Really this is for laughs.

114. You know what I'm guilty of? I'm guilty of insomnia.

115. What's the penalty for that?

116. You heard what I said. I said it was insomnia.

117. I said it was insomnia.

118. You scared, frightened rabbits, you.

119. You're sick people. You're sick people, all of you.

120. And you don't even know what you're starting here.

121. You're starting something here that's what you should be frightened of.

122. As God is my witness, you're letting something begin here that's...

123. that's a nightmare.

124. It doesn't seem right keeping a watch on them. They're our neighbors.

125. We know the Goodmans since they came here. We've been good friends.

126. That don't prove a thing.

127. With a guy who looks at the sky early in the morning, is something wrong.

128. Something that ain't legitimate.

129. Normally we would let it go by, but these aren't normal circumstances.

130. Look at that street. Nothing but candles.

131. It's like going back into the dark ages.

132. Stay right where you are, Steve.

133. We don't want any trouble. But anyone who sets foot on my porch...

134. that's what he's gonna get. Trouble.

135. I've already explained. I don't sleep very well at night sometimes.

136. So I get up, I go out, I take a walk, I look up at the sky.

137. I look at the stars. - That's exactly what he does.

138. This is some kind of madness. - That's exactly what it is.

139. You best watch who you're seen with, Steve.

140. Till we get this straightened out. You ain't above suspicion yourself.

141. Or you, Charlie. Or any of us it seems from age eight on up.

142. What are we gonna do? Just stay around here all night?

143. There's nothing else we can do. One of them will tip their hand.

144. You can go inside and keep your mouth shut.

145. Quit being a self-appointed hanging judge, climb in bed and forget it.

146. You sound pretty anxious to have that happen, Steve.

147. I guess we ought ta keep an eye on you, too.

148. Yeah, I think maybe everything might as well come out now.

149. Your wife's been doing a little talking about the odd things you do.

150. Go ahead. Tell us what she said. - Go ahead. Let's get it all out.

151. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court.

152. How about a firing squad, Charlie, to get rid of all the suspects?

153. Right, Don? - No need getting so upset. It's...

154. Myra's talked about how you spent hours in your basement working on...

155. some kind of radio or something. We have ever seen that radio.

156. Go ahead, Steve.

157. What kind of radio set you working on?

158. I never seen it. Neither has anyone else.

159. Who talks to you on that radio set, and who do you talk to?

160. I'm surprised at you, Charlie. How come you're suddenly so dense?

161. Who do I talk to? I talk to monsters from outer space.

162. I talk to three-headed green men who fly over here in meteors.

163. It's just a ham radio set. I bought the book for him myself.

164. It's just a ham radio set. A lot of people have them.

165. I'll show it to you... - No, we won't show them anything.

166. If they wanna look inside our house, let them get a search warrant.

167. Charlie, don't you tell me what I can afford.

168. And stop telling me who's dangerous and who isn't.

169. And you with him, too, all of you.

170. You're all standing out here all set to crucify somebody.

171. You're all set to find a scapegoat.

172. You're all desperate to point some kind of a finger at a neighbor.

173. Believe me, friends. We're gonna eat each other up alive.

174. It's the monster.

175. Here, we may need this. - What, a shotgun?

176. What good is a shotgun? - You talk us right into a grave.

177. You'd let whatever is out there walk right over us. Some of us won't.

178. It's Pete Van Horn.

179. He was just going over to the next block to see if the power was on.

180. Charlie, you killed him. He's dead.

181. I most certainly didn't know who he was.

182. He came out of the darkness. How was I supposed to know who he was?

183. Steve. You know why I shot him.

184. How was I supposed to know he wasn't a monster?

185. I was only trying to protect my home.

186. I didn't know it was somebody we knew.

187. Look. Charlie?

188. Charlie, the lights just went on in your house.

189. Why did the lights go on in your house?

190. What about it? How come you're the only one with lights now?

191. That's what I'd like to know. You were so quick to kill, Charlie.

192. And so quick to tell us who we had to look out for.

193. Maybe you had to kill. Maybe Pete was trying to tell us something.

194. Maybe Pete came back to tell us who amongst us the monster is.

195. No, it's nothing of the sort. I didn't know the lights were on.

196. Somebody's pulling a gag or something.

197. There's a man lying dead. And you killed him. Is that a gag to you?

198. I swear it isn't me.

199. I know who it is.

200. I know who it is that doesn't belong among us.

201. All right, Charlie, Let's hear it.

202. What are you waiting for? - Come on, Charlie, come on.

203. Who is it? Tell us. - It's the kid. It's Tommy.

204. That's not true.

205. It isn't so.

206. He's a little boy. - He knew what was going to happen.

207. He was the one who knew. How could he have known?

208. What's the matter with you people? Now stop.

209. Don't let him get to the house. - You're right, it's him.

210. It isn't the kid. It's Bob Weaver's house.

211. It isn't Bob Weaver's place. It's Don's house.

212. It's the Williams' house. - It's Charlie, he's the one.

213. Stop.

214. Stop it. - Fools.

215. Understand the procedure now?

216. Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones...

217. Throw them into darkness for a few hours and then watch the pattern.

218. This pattern is always the same? - With few variations.

219. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find, and it's themselves.

220. All we need do is sit back and watch.

221. Then I take this Maple Street is not unique?

222. By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets.

223. And we'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves.

224. One to the other.

225. The tools of conquest do not always come with bombs and explosions.

226. There are weapons that are simply thoughts and prejudices.

227. To be found only in the minds of men.

228. Prejudices can kill.

229. And suspicion can destroy.

230. And a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout...

231. for the children and the children yet unborn.

232. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined...

233. to the Twilight Zone.
