One Step Beyond (1959–1961)
10/10
One of the "scariest" series ever made !!!
15 July 2003
Contrary to popular opinion.....this series was the scariest, next to Boris Karloff's.."Thriller"! The accompanying music along with John Newlands' melodramatic "matter-of-fact" voice, made for the some of the most "frightening" television watching for kids (like myself) growing up in the 50s & 60s. So much so, I slept with my parents after watching a few episodes. Rod Serlings' Twilight Zone was good...but not "scary"..even some episodes were down-right "funny" !!! Not one of "One Step Beyond's" had a humorous episode! And I suppose, that's why they don't show any re-runs today, because most people are "wimps" and can't handle the "real" scary stuff...like.. "Aliens", "The Thing", "Predator", The Hidden, Nite-Flyer and "PitchBlack" just to name a few.....I sure wish I could get my hands on that series.!!!!
