To Serve Man: Why Was This Classic Twilight Zone Episode Filmed Twice?

Based on a short story by Damon Knight and adapted for television by Rod Serling, this Twilight Zone story is arguably one of the best and most remembered of the entire series. And that’s saying something, as Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone is one of the most respected and probably the best anthology series of all time.

Originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in November 1950, the short story “To Serve Man” differed somewhat from the TV adaptation, but the story was basically the same. A race of alien beings lands on Earth and offers to bring mankind “the peace and plenty which they themselves enjoy, and which they have in the past brought to other races throughout the galaxy.”

The aliens, or “Kanamits” as they are called, supply Earth with cheap, unlimited energy, limitless food supplies, and a means to end all war. In Knight's short story, the aliens are short, hairy pig-like creatures that walk upright, but in The Twilight Zone episode, they are nine-foot-tall giants with enormous heads and telepathic powers of communication.
