Line 39: Line 39:
Forty years later, Anthony still exercised complete control over the people of Peaksville. He had a child, a daughter named Audrey, and was raising her on his own, with the help of his mother, Agnes. Under her care, one day, Audrey began to exhibit powers similar to those possessed by her father. Agnes realized that her granddaughter's powers rivaled her son's and devised a plan to use Audrey's ability to end her son's reign of tyranny. Ultimately, the girl remained loyal to her father and the two banished everyone in Peaksville before Anthony realized he were lonely. Audrey then summoned the whole world and everyone in Peaksville to return and went off to explore New York City.

Latest revision as of 04:49, 15 November 2024

You're a bad man. You're very bad man! And you keep thinking bad thoughts about me.
He was a bad man, so I turned him into a jack in the box. A jack in the box that still had his bad face. And you mustn't think bad thoughts about me either or I'll do the same thing to you.
Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. A monster had arrived in the village. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines - because they displeased him - and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages - just by using his mind. Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. This is Mr. Fremont. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. This is Mrs. Fremont. And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. But one day she forgot. She began to sing aloud. Now, the monster doesn't like singing, so his mind snapped at her, turned her into the smiling, vacant thing you're looking at now. She sings no more. And you'll note that the people in Peaksville, Ohio, have to smile. They have to think happy thoughts and say happy things because once displeased, the monster can wish them into a cornfield or change them into a grotesque, walking horror. This particular monster can read minds, you see. He knows every thought, he can feel every emotion. Oh yes, I did forget something, didn't I? I forgot to introduce you to the monster. This is the monster. His name is Anthony Fremont. He's six years old, with a cute little-boy face and blue, guileless eyes. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge. This is the Twilight Zone.
~ Opening narration to It's a Good Life

Audrey Fremont: Are you happy now daddy?

Anthony Fremont: You bet I am honey. It's gonna be a good day. A real good day.

~ Anthony to his daughter after she brings back the world
They get to stay there, forever. Well it's a- it's a good place. It's a really good place. And uh, and the people that are there are happy all the time. Well I-I do it for their own good, so I don't hurt them anymore.
~ Anthony explaining to his daughter what happens when he sends people to the cornfields
I've been around people like you all my life. People who pretend to be my friend, pretend to like me. But you don't like me, do you George? I don't like you either.
~ Anthony to George
Forty years ago, Rod Serling introduced us to a monster, a monster so powerful he was able to make the world disappear just by using his mind. For the residents of Peaksville, Ohio, the nightmare had begun. The monster knew their every thought, could feel their every emotion; and when they made him angry, which was often, he would banish them into a cornfield from which there was no return. And the most frightening thing about this monster was that he was only six years old. Now it's forty years later, and the people of Peaksville are still in Hell. Oh, yes, there's one other thing: The monster now has a child of his own, and though she possesses none of her father's powers, he still loves her very, very much.
~ Opening narration to It's Still a Good Life

Background

Anthony Fremont was a human from the town of Peaksville, Ohio, who possessed extraordinary mental powers.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Anthony Fremont’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

1960s
Anthony Fremont was a human Earthling born in the town of Peaksville in the state of Ohio. As he approached the age of six, his parents began to notice that he had a talent for overhearing the thoughts of other people. Before long, he manifested another talent. This one would allow him to teleport someone in a mythical limbo he referred to as the Cornfield and he began to make use of it when anyone or anything would upset him.

His powers grew over time to the point where no one in the town dare to think a bad thought about Anthony or do anything that would upset the child. He isolated the small town from the rest of the world and usurped complete control over it and its inhabitants, managing what food was available and even when the television could be viewed.

According to the short story by Jerome Bixby, Anthony Fremont was born with his powers, from birth which it used to kill the obstetrician, that gave birth to him after the doctor dropped him. Following that Anthony let out a cry, and the town of Peaksville was isolated from the rest of the world as described at the end of Bixby's short story"

"Mom looked out of the front window, across the darkened road, across Henderson's darkened wheatfield to the vast, endless, gray nothingness in which the little village of Peaksville floated like a soul--the huge nothingness that was evident at night, when Anthony's brassy day had gone."

Also, in the short story the cornfield was a place in Peaksville that was the graveyard for all of Anthony Freemont's grotesque creations after he was done with them.

2000s
Forty years later, Anthony still exercised complete control over the people of Peaksville. He had a child, a daughter named Audrey, and was raising her on his own, with the help of his mother, Agnes. Under her care, one day, Audrey began to exhibit powers similar to those possessed by her father. Agnes realized that her granddaughter's powers rivaled her son's and devised a plan to use Audrey's ability to end her son's reign of tyranny. Ultimately, the girl remained loyal to her father and the two banished everyone in Peaksville before Anthony realized he were lonely. Audrey then summoned the whole world and everyone in Peaksville to return and went off to explore New York City.
