Day 8 of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar and it's our friend Ben Kirkham and he says

0:14.3

you get an opportunity to stage a Twilight Zone episode in school or college which one would you pick and why? Okay, you want to go on

0:25.0

this one, Emmy? Yeah, Ben's either going to love this or hate this. So like, we know Ben,

0:30.4

we know Ben well, he's lovely, he's very creative. So my first thought when I saw this was

0:36.6

the after hours, but make it into a horror musical, right?

0:40.8

Because I think, right?

0:42.8

I think that this could absolutely work like this really terrifying, make it with actual puppets,

0:48.7

like make it with marionettes, make it with actual mannequins, but turn it into a musical,

1:33.4

But I would love to see two really good actors, like, live in front of me, performing

1:41.5

nothing in the dark.

1:44.0

Because, you know, it's one of the great Twilight Zone

1:48.3

two-hander's.

1:49.7

You only need two actors.

1:51.2

I think there might be, is there like a cop in it or something?

1:54.4

Yeah, there's something that comes to the door, yeah, yeah.

1:56.6

Yeah, so that, but that's fine.
