    The Twilight Zone The teleplay “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,” by Rod Serling, is both similar and different to the TV episode of the same title which first aired on March 4th, 1960. Both have the same characters, such as Steve, Don, and Charlie, and both take place in a mysterious place called “The Twilight Zone,” on a classic American street in the fifties and sixties. Both feature a lot the same lines, and the camera moves in a similar way for most of both the teleplay and the TV episode-for example, both open with a shot of a sign reading “Maple Street.” The plot is the same in both—a meteor flies over quaint Maple Street, knocking out all the power.…
