This paper examines the aural conceptions of futuristic dystopias in episodes
of The Twilight Zone, focusing on one specific episode, season five’s “Number
Twelve Looks Just Like You.” I examine how the music director of CBS conceived
of the future, aurally representing these episodes as having an affinity with
the premise of Brave New World by reusing its radio score by Bernard Herrmann.
As a result, I will explore the use of the radio score in the episode and the ways in
which dystopian futures were aurally represented in the series.
