Among the writers for the original television series was a young Rod Serling, who penned the 1953 entry 'Nightmare at Ground Zero'. Serling had previously submitted scripts to the radio version, though none of them were accepted.
In the late 1940s, the original series was one of several radio anthology series that made the transition to television; others include Lights Out and Inner Sanctum. However, Suspense was the longest-lived of them, producing 260 shows between 1949 and 1954.
The original Suspense television and radio series were both performed live in real-time; however, the revival is recorded in a studio and edited before airing.
