Quick Answer: Watch every episode of the Syfy channel’s New Year’s The Twilight Zone marathon with a live streaming service like DirecTV Stream or fuboTV, which come with free trials.
You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. That’s a signpost up ahead: Your next stop, streaming Syfy’s super-sized Twilight Zone marathon! The annual New Year’s Eve tradition honors Rod Serling’s groundbreaking anthology series by playing nearly every episode of the series, and this year’s 2023-24 edition is bigger than ever. For the first time, the marathon is spanning a total of three whole days, starting Saturday, Dec. 30 and ending on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
As one of the most iconic horror, sci-fi, and speculative fiction pieces of media in history, audiences have been blown away by the mind-melting tales ever since the show premiered in 1959. The show was so ahead of its time that even decades later we still think about Jason Foster (Robert Keith) teaching his cruel-hearted family members a lesson in “The Masks”, or Robert Wilson’s (William Shatner) horrified reaction to the gremlin he thinks he sees on the wing of a plane in “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”.
Skip the New Year’s Eve smooch and get sucked in by the shocking twist endings and weighty messages of these episodes — if you want to unlock this door with the key of imagination, all you’ll need is your internet and a live TV streaming service. Below we’ve got all the info you’ll need to watch SyFy’s New Year’s Eve The Twilight Zone Marathon online.
