twilight zone

It means strange things might happen!

Thanks nona.

But how do you equate 'strange things happening' to the 'twilight zone?" Could it be that the day transitions from light to dark during the twilight, so in an analogous way one could say things that are normal can turn to being strange -- as you enter the twilight zone? Actually Cambridge had the following definition:

twilight zone

The twilight Zone was a TV series (and also a movie) that featured mild horror stories, usually about unsuspecting 'average Joes' ending up in strange situations.

Thanks nona.

I think I know enough now to use this phrase myself in a conversation!!

Among Americans of a certain age, just whistling or humming the opening bars of the theme music from the TV series means "something really weird is going on here!" The TV episodes usually involved a situation that started off very normally and then took a surrealistic turn.

I'll try to post a link to the music, but I'm not sure it will work... go here and click on Disc 2: Main Title, Sec

Hey khoff, thanks a lot for the link. It worked great!

I knew that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case the music is worth even more! I can feel something strange about to happen!
