A Stop at Willoughby - August In The Twilight Zone | Alex Carson

Ad Agency Exec. Gart Williams has been placed at a point in his life where his self-worth has been silenced by the environment molded around him. And, his commute by train transpires into him seeing “A Stop at Willoughby” as more than a dream, and a station he would then contemplate on visiting when he arrives at The Twilight Zone.

All through August of 2020, I'll be sharing my 30 favorite episodes, in no particular order, as part of my series, "August In The Twilight Zone". I'll be covering their synopses & twists, some background around the episodes themselves, and my own thoughts. Today's featured episode takes a man, overwhelmed with his content life, finding himself pursuing happiness when "A Stop at Willoughby" arrives (Season 1, Episode 30).


*Update [for all August In TTZ Episodes uploaded September 1st, onwards]: As I did take a few days off from uploading in August, due to focusing on myself and starting school again, the remainder of the series will be released as soon as I can and prolong itself into, at least, the first full week of September 2020. Thanks for understanding, and excited to see the series' completion and the beginning of new creative projects to come!
