Your Next Stop...SyFy

SyFy will once again ring in the New Year with a Twilight Zone marathon, but with, appropriately, a new twist.

The cable net will allow viewers to program prime time Sunday, Jan. 1 (from 8 p.m. to 11. p.m. by picking between two shows each half-hour.

There will be a 15-minute voting window before each of the episodes is to air (starting at 7:45) during which fans can tweet the hashtag of their choice to @SyFy.

Spoiler alert: For those who like to be surprised by the lineup and just happen upon a favorite episode between cleaning up the confetti and cooking up the black-eyed peas, whatever you do, don't click here, where you can find the lineup and times of the episodes--and descriptions that will tip fans off immediately. The marathon wil stretch from Saturday, Dec. 31, at 6 a.m. to Monday, Jan. 2, at 4 a.m.

SyFy is in its 22nd year of the marathon, which a spokesperson said continues to perform well for the network.
