Honestly, I was expecting more after I saw [this picture](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/4115048002) of Heidi Klum’s Halloween costume. ---

SNL did a great sketch on that TZ episode, with Pamela Anderson in the role played by Donna Douglas. ---

I don’t think it’s fair to expect more just because Klum is nutso over the top. She’s probably already got teams working on 2020 & 2021 costume ideas, both with and without current boyfriend. ---

Nice vintage hair and dress, but she could have gone out like that any time. I don’t see anything Halloweenish. ---

I figured that episode was the one, but I thought that to make it work she’d have to forego the makeup and surround herself with a gaggle of attendants wearing it. ---

Sorry! I didn’t realize she had TZ themed house decorations. The only reason I wondered is that most people of that generation have never seen an episode of The Twilight Zone. ---

Some cable channels (mostly SyFy) run Twilight Zone regularly, and show marathons on some holidays, and the theme is still recognizable. I don’t know why you think most people of any generation have never seen the show. ---

I don’t know why you think most people of any generation have never seen the show. I don’t know how old she is, but the young to mid twenty-somethings in my office, while having heard of Twilight Zone and knowing what kind of show it is, haven’t watched it. Heck, many of if not most of my contemporaries over the years weren’t fans. The show is _iconic_, but is it as widely \*watched \*as that would imply? ---

There’s a current revival that’s reasonably popular, so I think more people might be looking into it. From what I’ve heard Ariana Grande is a bit of an odd bird. I could see her watching old TZ the same way Michael Jackson was into that kind of thing. ---

Heck, I’m forty-something, and while I’m certainly aware of _The Twilight Zone_, I’ve seen very few episodes. But then, in this era of streaming and media-on-demand, when anyone can find anything, it’s no longer possible to make any assumptions at all about what “kids these days” will be into. ---

That’s true, of course, and it’s always been quite possible to be interested in things that happened before you were born. I’ve always been a huge fan of the Universal horror films of the '30s and '40s, for example, even though I was born in 1967. But I do know an awful lot of people of Ariana Grande’s age, and even older, who absolutely _will not watch_ anything that’s black and white. Just refuse, and wonder why anyone would want to. Heck, I think there have been people on this very board who claim that they “just can’t” watch black and white movies. So while it’s unfair to assume any particular young person might not be interested in _The Twilight Zone_, it’s not a completely unreasonable thing to wonder about, either. ---

> [@Sefton](#): > > Damn. My opinion of Arianna Grande just went up. I remember watching _Victorious_ with the kids and thinking she had to be a brilliant actress to play a ditz so well. I was glad to see she was able to shake off the Disney work without making too much of a mess (lookin’ at you Miley). She had a phenomenal voice even then, scary good.
