"The Encounter" is episode 151 of the American television series "The Twilight Zone". First broadcast on May 1, 1964, its racial overtones caused it to be withheld from syndication in the U.S. On January 3, 2016, the episode was finally reaired as part of Syfy's annual "Twilight Zone" New's Year Eve marathon.
Syfy hosts the Twilight Zone marathon every year starting on December 31st.
I just stated the date that the Syfy channel starts the Twilight Zone marathon, which is on New Year's Eve, the 31st of December, which is correct
