Twilight Theatre is about the chronological timeline of the history of horror, the paranormal, supernatural and sci fi from Stonehenge all the way up to modern day UFO sightings. It is also a takeoff on the Twilight Zone with a spoken-word narrative that introduces each theater piece.

One of the show’s concepts is that the corporate record business and huge radio conglomerates have tried to kill off rock and roll and that pop culture is consuming itself so rapidly that rock is now being killed off by its very creators (record companies and once-innovative FM rock radio).

Well, you can't kill rock and roll! Here come the monsters of Twilight Theatre, crawling up out of the graves dug by these companies to hit you all over the head one more time. The Twilight Theatre characters, in essence, become the Frankenstein monster coming after its creator while bits and pieces of the rock era's pop culture (AOR Rock, Twilight Zone, Dark Shadows, Night Gallery, Night of the Living Dead and horror and sci fi b movies) are evident in the stage show.

"I wanted to do something fun and multimedia, and I saw that in this day and age there were too many entertainment choices,(computers, dvds, cable tv, video games, cell phones, iPods, etc.) and less need for society to interact personally with one another. I also saw live audiences not out there supporting independent rock like they used to. Thus Twilight Theatre and the stage show were born."—Robert Jackson
