For me, this selection makes for a far superior Twilight Zone: The Movie tie-in than the actual Twilight Zone: The Movie tie-in. Was Beaumont's The Beautiful People adapted for the TV series? |

Number 12 Looks Just Like You is based on Beaumonts story, but the adaption is written by John Tomerlin. I thought I had read it, but I just realized that I confused it with Beaumont's The New People. |
