| Trivia | In his introduction to "New Stories from the Twilight Zone", the series' executive story consultant Alan Brennert said that he tried to get "Opening Day" killed about twelve times "but everytime I thought I'd finally driven a stake through its heart the damned thing would rear up from the dead yet again."

[opening narration for "The Shadow Man"]
