Team Twilight Zone

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Those supernatural looks have been seriously toned down after pop artist Casey Weldon gave them the Eye of the Beholder look for Gallery 1988's recent Twilight Zone show. I must have missed it the first time around, but they are for sale again for the holidays. The creepy, creepy holidays.
