Anthony Fremont

**Anthony Fremont** is a character from the episode, "It's a Good Life" of the Twilight Zone tv-series and who is referenced in the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

## History

### The Twilight Zone

Anthony Fremont was a young boy in the town of Peaksville, Ohio who via the 5th Dimension had god-like powers that manifested around the age of six. Anthony used these powers to either isolate Peaksville from the rest of the world or eradicated the rest of the world leaving only Peaksville. Whenever someone upset him or displeased him in the town, he used his powers to punish them; this often meaning erasing them from existence, killing them or turning them into inanimate objects.

### The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

Anthony Fremont was a man who worked as an orchestral conductor during the golden age of Hollywood. Anthony and his orchestra would come to be employed by the esteemed Hollywood Tower Hotel of Sunset Boulevard where they performed in the hotel's Tip Top Club. His performances in the club were known to be broadcast on *KBVS Radio*, a station used by the Los Angeles neighbourhood of *Buena Vista Street*.

It is unclear if the Anthony Fremont within Disney Parks continuity is intended to simply be an adult version of the Twilight Zone character, the same character in an alternate reality where he was born decades earlier and where potentially he never had powers. It is also possible that he was not originally a figure in the hotel's history but who was retroactively inserted into it via the powers of the 5th dimension which both he and the hotel were connected to.
