"Twilight Zone" was the fourth single by Iron Maiden. It was released on March 2, 1981. The song was also released in the United States as part of the album Killers however the British release did not include the song. When the album was re-released in the UK in 1998 the song was added to the tracklist.The lyrics tell of a mournful spirit who "Can't take no shape of form" and has his spirit trapped the between this world and Purgatory, referring to it as the Twilight Zone. The spirit has been dead for 3 years. He desires to make his presence known to a woman he is presumably haunting, but is unable to. He looks forward to her death, and even implies he wishes to hasten her demise in order to have company in the afterlife.

While the song did not appear on the UK release of Killers, it was included in the original American version of the album and in subsequent reissues as a bonus track.

This single has been notably released on a Blood Red and a Clear 45 r.p.m (7") Single, that has now become a rather rare collectible.
