Here's just some of the info on the Twilight Zone sub. Read more at the above link:

Dark Hall Mansion, under license by CBS Consumer Products, will release a 10-print "The Twilight Zone" series focused on key classic episodes of the legendary series that redefined television and set a creative bar by which decades of writers and filmmakers still measure themselves today. The importance of "The Twilight Zone" and its unparalleled creative output and unflinching mirror on the individual and society, particularly in an era when this was simply not done, cannot be underscored. Its impact on television, films, screenwriters, directors, authors, the comics industry, and creative artists within all fields still resonates and informs every genre to this day.

Dark Hall Mansion's officially licensed 10-print limited edition subscription screenprint series goes on sale Tuesday, August 19th, and will feature 10 classic "The Twilight Zone" episodes rendered by leading contemporary artist, Tom Whalen. The 10-print "The Twilight Zone" editions will be offered as a subscription print series with an exclusive worldwide run of only 230 Standard edition subscriptions and 70 Variant edition subscriptions. Each of the 10 individual prints will focus on one classic "The Twilight Zone" episode, each rendered in artist Tom Whalen's inimitable and dynamic style, each measuring 18? x 24? and each fully screen printed. Prints will include classic episodes like "Eye of the Beholder," "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet," "Living Doll," and "Nick of Time," plus surprises along the way. The series will be fittingly lead off by an appropriately unsettling and slightly creepy "The Twilight Zone" episode that happens to be one of Tom's (and his Dad's) personal favorites, "Eye of the Beholder."
