- Opening scene from the classic tv series The Outer Limits episode The Invisible Enemy recut and remastered with scenes from the movie Prometheus. Just a test.
Outer Limits was hands down the scariest show on tv at the time. It was also at the root of every imaginary monster & nightmare I ever had as a kid.
Cool
Corine USA Don’t forget about Boris Karloff ‘s Thriller & and Jonny Quest had some freaky deakies too like that energy monster .
Way ahead of it's time
Yup. And the suspenseful music was scary too. It always pulled on your emotions
Try "The Image of Death" on One Step Beyond.
Some years ago, I met a guy at a Comic-Con and he and I had a fascinating conversation about the OL. Found out he published a fanzine on the OL. Incidentally after I watched this segment I had to walk around a construction area and it was scary as hell. There was a area that was flat with lots of sand that got blown by the winds. When that happened you could not see a thing! I kept looking at the ground scared of Sand Sharks ! Ridiculous I know, but I had an overly- active imagination them.
Easily one of the best of an outstanding series
The Outer Limits and The Fugitive were two of the greatest television shows of All Time and made ABC a major Network!!!!!
Well written, well directed and well acted. If only Hollywood would remember how to do it like this…..
That shot of spaceship landing looked way advanced for its time.
That because it from newer movie Prometheus
@@justinfuller3053 🤩 Wow good blend!
Because its a shot of the ship out of 2012 Aliens prequel Prometheus
It Is from a very recent movie on the "alien" series...
Yeah that’s what I thought that’s not a 1960s special effects what’s going on here come on Prometheus what year were you made?!
So long, Adam West. This episode remains a favorite after fifty-three years.
If you want to see Adam West in a very good, but unrated, Science Fiction move, check out Robinson Crusoe on Mars. He is only on screen for the first 10 minutes or so. The movie is a cult classic, in my humble opinion.
Mine Too.
@Kevin McDougall I'm pretty sure the writers for Tremors got their inspiration from this episode.
@@TheIsreal0312 Then there's that surreal dream sequence in the middle of that movie where Adam West appears without speaking.
@Charles Martel I dont think this guy knows Adam.
I remember this episode so well from seeing it as a child. The sand monster scared the living S out of me. I can still hear that roar in my mind!
The first 20 seconds was taken from Prometheus. Then put through a black and white filter to give the impression that it was in the original photoplay. There was no need to do that- even low budgeted, they still did a fantastic job. I know the whole series- I watched it when it was aired.
Almost 60 years later and I still talk about episodes of this show. "Remember the killer tumbleweeds, giant ants ..." ect. I used to go to bed scared after the show, but I still would sneak and watch it if I wasn't allowed to watch it. Perhaps it's time to buy the complete series.
Same here...
I liked the slowed time from the crash episode.
They were all so good! Better than anything today. The ants scared me the most lol.....
I own the complete series! "The Outer Limits" has always been one of my favorites! I loved several episodes, among them:
The Galaxy Being, Tourist Attraction, The Children of Spider County, Zante Misfits, Architects of Fear, The Mice, Corpus Earthling, Cold Hands, Warm Heart, The Invisible Enemy and Cry of Silence!
The series may have had to work with limited budgets, but what those guys did with those budgets was the stuff of your wildest nightmares!!! Some of the most haunting, creepiest monsters ever to grace our television screens!
"You are about to experience the awe and mystery that reaches from the inner mind to...
THE OUTER LIMITS!"
The Zante Misfits was the first episode I saw as a kid. I was like WOA! Fun fact, Leonard Nimoy was in that episode.
I own the entire series of the original "Outer Limits " on DVD! Love these strange, spooky sci-fi gems!
I got to get that!!!!!
Yes, but do you own the Prometheus Edition?
😊
These episodes like this one, with a young Rod Taylor was more
scary then anything they have today, I was 20 yrs . old when I saw
this episode. The music, the suspense and the special effects and
make up were way ahead of its time. 1963...a wonderful time.
Myrna, rod Taylor was never in any outer limits episode.
The astronaut had no face shield on his helmet. I guess there’s oxygen on Mars.😂…I ❤the OL. Great stories, music, and acting…and the ‘monsters.’👏😳
The Outer Limits 1963-65, was a fantastic series, great actors,music and camera work. And of course the Creatures and Aliens, for the time it was amazing and if you watch it now just try to watch it as if you were in that era it is great and many of the classic episodes would make great modern Sci-Fi films like ... Nightmare/ Architects of Fear/ Zanti Misfits/ Galaxy Being/ Invisible Enemy/ Demon with a Glass Hand/ Sixth Finger/ Fun and Games/ The Man Who Was Never Born/ Inheritors, O.B.I.T/ Hundred Days of the Dragon/ Keeper of the Purple Twilight. All of these shows would make great films. Well excellent job o this video ! And to all Watch the classic Outer Limits !!!!! : )
Prog X Also many future stars of Star Trek are here as well.
Some excellent Sci-Fi films could undoubtedly be made out of many Outer Limits episodes. Trouble is most
studios want franchises now not one-off movies so the Hollywood Bean Counters will say brand recognition 'yes,' follow up potential 'No' killing any Outer limits inspired film dead.
I lived the Zanti Misfits once I was introduced to lsd.
I have all the episodes (40) on DVD! Fascinating!
Prog X - I was a youngster in the early 60s, I used to plead to my parents to let me stay up and watch it, I think it was on about 10pm, and then I would lay awake all night too terrified to sleep!
The Sixth Finger and the Zanti Misfits were the most terrifying - those giant ants with human heads! KAN
These shows were produced for TV when the first core of astronauts was assembled. At some point, one of them was heard to reply at take off that everything was working and "A-OK". The news people all stared repeating it and as you can hear, it was picked up by he dramatic media as well. Here, they use it a little too much, I think.
By the way, we now know it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds for a one way transmission between Earth and Mars. If you expect an answer, the entire exchange would take six minutes there and back. If you're having an emergency you probably wouldn't want to rely on the folks back home for advice.
This is still my favorite Sci-Fi TV program.
@John Wilharm Well, that was realistic.
"We will be in CONSTANT communication AT ALL TIMES"
This was one of most suspenseful episodes on the Outer Limits. I am surprised that the new Outer limits didn't remake this episode.
Agreed - if it would have been properly done. The few remade episodes were a mixed bag. The original 2 parter "The Inheritors" was outstanding (particularly Steve Inhat's performance and extended speech just before Robert Duvall enters the spacecraft) - the remade version had an OK concept but lacked the tension and drama build up ...
They did a variation of this episode called ‘The Sand Kings’. Though it was a nice episode it wasn’t nearly as suspenseful as this one.
@@theoddfather7647 I have seen the sand kings episode. It had it's creepy moments. But it was not as suspenseful as the invisible enemy episode,
This episode had me on edge when I was a child
The one with william shatner on the plane with the creature tearing up the wing gave me nightmares for years.
That was _The Twilight Zone_
The Outer Limits and the Twilight zone were the best
Land on an alien planet, go out alone, do a 2 minute walk and declare no life. What could go wrong? Everything.
"Mars? We told you to drop off those supplies at the Moon Base."
I'm 66 presently from and is in USA, Outer Limits has & will always be my Favorite, Tv show. Have watched it since the 60's the inter mind to the Outer Limits, Time Tunnel wasn't a bad show either.
"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. It lies between things and ideas. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone." Twilight zones mental state lies between reality and fantasy, or the lowest level of the ocean that light can penetrate. When you come home and your extremely messy teenager has cleaned the house from top to bottom, this is an example of a time when you might feel you are living in the twilight zone.
Ahh just sayin, wrong TV show.
The OL cemented my interest in SF permanently. And it may be a small thing, but notice how every actor speaks naturally and clearly, not whispering or mumbling. You hear every word. Rewatching Prometheus (2012) last week I often couldn't make out what the mumbling actors were saying.
The outer limits was the most frightening show on television at the time and it was aimed at kids! Rod Serling's show was social commentary,this show was basically about terror.
Outer Limits was also steeped in social commentary, as episodes like O.B.I.T., “The Man Who Was Never Born” and “The Architects of Fear” so ably demonstrated. OL was almost never about just base horror, although this episode kinda qualifies.
Because the shows were low-budget, the producers couldn't resort to elaborate sets. Instead, they relied on good writing. With the advent of computer-generated imagery, producers can drown the viewer with inexpensive but elaborate special effects. The quality of the writing has declined -- it's been dumbed down.
Same in full😗length movie pictures. The screenplays in the 1940s was far superior in content and wit than today.
I hate to watch some pictures...it's painful...
And actors were much more talented before 1970. There were a handful of just line readers (movie stars) but most character actors could sing, play music, act, narrate, dance and many also wrote. They came frim diverse theatrical backgrounds. Starting in the 70s/80s actors were brought in for just looks and line reading. Many models and pageant winners entered the industry that could only do fairly wooden acting. Charlie's Angels was an obvious shampoo commercial with one grounded actress, and she was young with little but TV studio experience.
By the late 80s only impossibly beautiful people, via surgery and cosmetic dentistry, held 75%+ of the jobs.
According to _you_ , yes: I thought that _Prometheus_ was quite intelligent, and well written. Plus, the current SF&F shows of the past 20 years would like to have a word with you.
Neville6000. Yes but someone would have to script it for them and coach their every move.
This is not just opinion but can be justified by looking at the scriots of movies pre cgi and doing a lexical analysis.
Typical...it’s over just as a man yells “I’m coming!”
now thats funny
Jokes and jokes and jokes

Missing Tourist, that's same thing the guy said to her, right here on earth.......LMAO
I didn't see him roll over and go to sleep.
@@schallrd1 Hey man thanks for the re-wind, I forgot what my comment was. So I took another look....LMAO
I was between 6 - 7 year of age I remember watching Adam West on the Outer Limitsepisode The Invisible Enemy. Batman was such a big part of my life as child I was Crazy over anything Batman, Lost In Space, and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea - looking back at these TV shows today they seem campy and silly because they were made for children and though they were made with limited special effects they were good enough for the time and as a little kid living in a simple era during the 1960's it just let the imagination go wild ! Time goes by so fast . THKS for the Great Memories, Super Heroes Are Real Within The Mind Of A Child. { Bruce Wayne RIP.}
Well said Frank . . . . , well said *
Adam West does not appear in this part of the video, that's not him in the space ship.
The old sci-fi was awesome.
That was The Golden Age of Television, never equaled, and will never be repeated.
Alex P j
just watched this episode last nite on my dvd player. a very good episode....perhaps one of the top 10 imho. wish I saw this when it first came out....im sure I would have been traumatized more as a kid yet still a good story and effects considering the time the show was made and budget they had. they should have included the boy wonder in the show along with cat woman....like a barbarella meets batman and robin to fight off sand sharks.
This proved Adam West could indeed act.
One of the scariest episodes in that production.
Hey go easy on the outer limits I love this show as a kid,. I often wondered if they really could control my television . Lol
I ask my mom,how can they control our TV? She said,try to stop the screen from rolling ,you can't. Wow! 😳
Wow! I remember this one frim since I was a kid,,, In fact, I thought about it just the other day... Great effects for the time, a decade or two before Jaws!
the rest of the episode was conficated by the martians
👍🤣
Love the 50’s ejection seats they use in a cockpit without the need to eject. This was one of my favorite episodes. Ooo,Land Shark!1🙀🙀🙀
One of my favorite episodes! Thanks for the reminder!
Impressive. You have some serious editing skills. Almost flawless in your Black and white transition between the scenes. Excellent job.
thanks
Way to go ....Pops his visor at 2:10 !!
one of my favorite episodes..loved this as a child.
Vividly remember this from childhood; it debuted on Halloween Night, 1964!
brian centi this would be a great movie to remake with all the special effects and cg that is available nowadays
I keep thinking that this episode of OUTER LIMITS was inspired by that 1959 movie: IT: THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE.
Some of the mattes and that smashed up rocketship look so familiar
First of all, I loved the Outer Limits in the '60s as a child and later as an adult. But looking back now, it is amazing that for a two-man crew who are the first two land on a different planet, the first stepping out into and exploring an alien environment would be done alone. But then this is '60s TV.
That spaceship model was pretty grand for the 1960's. The sand shark managed to show up in other episodes as well, most notably Wolf 359 as a dinosaur.
Opens helmet visor..."Ah, oxygen!"
Unfortunately it turns out to be much more difficult to maintain life support that we thought. If you get a tiny cut in the suit it can be deadly, and recently an astronaut almost drowned in his own helmet. These old Outer Limits are still true in how dangerous and strange it is out there.
"Drowned", must be the water in the firmament.....
Are you a scientist?
Dangerous & strange here too
one of my all time favorite episodes.
"The guests" was my favorite episode!
The best sci-fi show ever
Lol, I love it when he flips his visor open 🤪
That cracked me up too!
the soundtrack is awesome
I know!!--!!!!!!!! Brilliant
Brilliant and incredibly scary. I use to get goose bumps on my skin from the soundtrack
Absolutely. The violins at 2:21 with the basses punctuations are totally mesmerizing.
There's nothing like a radio in a good ol' sturdy metal box. (lol)
Вот совпадение, только что посмотрела последнюю съемку с Марса, и вот фильм о высадке на Марс. Всë не так, ребята, на Марсе. Там всë печально пусто, только земной ровер и беспилотник на его поверхности. Вот прогресс дошëл научно-технический, смотрим напрямую трансляцию с поверхности Марса. Дожили 🙂 до этого 🙂💥🔥
This used to be on TV in the early 70's when I was just a little kid.
On TV from 63 to part of 65
Jaws come's to mind. Love this episode.
I would LOVE to see the original Outer Limits from the 60's. I remember many of the episodes. They may not have had the best props, sets or special effects but the plots were fabulous.
@John Wilharm The originals were in B&W so they should look good on any screen but the bigger the screen HD is a plus.
i remember when Mattel sold the oxygen tanks for kids, and we all played with them in the 60s
Something I never caught when watching on TV! On Mars the guy exploring opens his helmet's face plate! AND EXPOSES his bare face to the Mars enviroment!!!!
The music was the greatest especially season 1
That great music was by Dominic Frontiere. Among other works he also orchestrated some of the songs on Dan Fogelberg's 1977 album Nether Lands. He used to be married to former L.A. Rams owner Georgia Frontiere.
@John Wilharm Agreed - to this day his string based "oriental" themes and the bass heavy sounds used to foretell something foreboding used in "The Hundred Days of the Dragon'" are particular favorites that he first hinted at while scoring the TV series Stoney Burke - and his work for "The Man Who Was Never Born" featuring my second favorite Martin Landau performance ever (#1 is him as Bela Lugosi in "Ed Wood") was just beautiful ( czcams.com/video/_uLNIpVZAVs/video.html ). Harry Lubin took over for Season 2 - but often rehashed themes and motifs he used previously for "One Step Beyond" (especially a OSB theme called "Fear").
This is one of the episodes I remember seeing as a kid. I've been able to rewatch it recently and the sock puppet monsters haven't gotten any better looking. I still like the episode, though. You can see a lot of influence in Star Trek from some of the Outer Limits episodes.
"Be real careful," he says to the guy who has already removed his face shield.
I love how the astronaut opens his face mask; in real life, he'd be dead in ~ 30 seconds.
@victor s I'm talking about the same people who wrote about Prometheus [2012 movie]. Nit pickers suggested that the "scientists" were really unprepared for the goo and similar problems; lo-and behold; the astronaut makes exactly the same mistake at the [2:35] mark. Granted this is the late 50's, so "safety" was not a big deal.
@@Cyberpuppy63 They didn't know much about the Martian atmosphere in '65. Telescopes could see icecaps and dust storms so they figured things just had to be similar, if a bit colder.
@@psuedozardozz Yup. Technology only as good as human designers could make, at the time.
@Marlin Williams That's very true. On the other hand, we have the satisfaction that movies like Total Recall, set on Mars, has some "truth" to it. Don't get sucked out of a dome; and wear your enviro suit!
In Angry Red Planet, the space helmets had no glass in them at all and in Missile to the Moon the helmets were just prop jet fighter helmets, again, without glass. A hallowed sci-fi-B movie tradition.
A favorite episode of mine involved Carroll O'Connor and Barry Morse as aliens studying a human phenomenon called murder.
The spaceship's exterior has (to my eye at least) a *lot* of similarities to both the more recent Firefly and the ship in Prometheus, but *decades* earlier and must have been a real model. No GCI back then!
LOL You noticed that too...
The wonder of space and the human imagination carried these broadcasts, not CGI special effects.
Great writing to create tension and suspense. Special FX got better, so writers slack off.
As a little kid I'd only watch this hiding behind a chair with 1 eye peering out.
Opens helmet in the near vacuum of Mars' atmosphere.
Back then people thought Mars had a thin but possibly breathable. Turns out it a tiny % Earth's atmospheric pressure and your blood would simply boil away..
HEY FRED DID YOU REMEMBER TO BRING THOSE BOXES OF MARS BARS FOR THE INHABITANTS?
I bought the entire series when the DVD first came out.
I believe Blu-ray may may be available now.
Superior plot and character development- without any elaborate special effects! Early views of unknown actors who would later be stars!🤔😀🙄
Greatest limits episode!!
I was just getting interested in that. I'd forgot it was just a clip.
I was watching this late 80's...My Dad rip..showed me Sci Fi & horror 🎬 movies.
He was a weird violent guy.
Now I am showing my age but I remember this episode.
I do too. Gonna be 70 in a few months.
This whole episode was advaced for its time!
Is this the one where a shark's head or something similar comes out of the ground towards them? It's been years since I last saw these.
that was with Adam West
@@62426637 I believe so, I think he was one of the astronauts.
It was called a sand shark I believe. It was more like a dragon head that popped out the sand and at one point I remember it had to giant claws. This stuff has really stuck with since I saw it on broadcast TV.
mylifeintheglowoftheouterlimits.blogspot.com/2014/10/episode-spotlight-invisible-enemy.html
Basically a giant Ant Lion from Earth. Not far-fetched at all.
Yup, the sand rises like a tide. The other crewman marooned on a rock island shoots one with a bazooka, after intentionally cutting himself and wiping the blood on a piece of torn clothing, throws it out into the sand to lure a beast to the surface (of course you bring a bazooka to Mars. Nice how he just flips up the visor on his helmet for a better look at the sand) One of the toothy sea monsters is wounded, the others attack which gives them time to escape. I was terrified as a kid watching this.
The twilight zone and night gallery were my favorites.
The astronaut wandering around on Mars doesn't have any glass faceplate in his helmet!
"Yeah, I just noticed the scene at 2:10.
Hey, remember Fred -- keep your helmet on...
One of My Favorite Episode.
Along with the two part episode The Inheritors. The very best of Outer Limits.
@@smedley1544 Touche' (smile)
Superior film editing....congratulations! More like this please. : )
I still have a partial set of the OL bubblegum cards put out by Topps !I should try and see what they might be worth ? Getting on in years and need to purge some childhood toys .
I know I’m late.
Someone needs to show this to Elon
Was only about 5 or 6 when this was out . Watched it on Friday nights.
Funny thing is when I watch these episodes I can't help but remember that my brother and me would lay in front of the boob tube mesmerized and all the while my dad was laughing through the whole thing, at the time didn't understand. Until I've watched the reruns, he was right ✅️
Miss these classics
1. No CGI
2. Simple props that get reused
3. Good plots and writing
4. Acting is very good
5. Can scare the beezeebees out of you for a long time
Today
CGI, props are horrible, acting bad, writing bad, plots are ok but aren't pursued.
I prefer the TV shows and movies of 50 to 70+ years ago. The remakes don't come close to the originals, a few exceptions but the shows of today suck.
My 3rd favorite OL episode . Creepy
That's why we shouldn't go to Mars. There are monsters there!
I know! Have you seen "Red Planet Mars"? There's one of 'em right there. A combination of a spider and a bat and probably something else too. And it's huge.
Read,,andrew,,bassigo,,,he,s,,been,,so,,has,,president,,abama
Robin Williams had a much longer career than I realised.
Never, ever, open your visor on a strange planet!
Yeah, exactly what they did in Prometheus... walk into an alien ship, stop in the bio-hazard room, pull off helmet.
I think the people who made "Under the Skin" were watching this and listening, particularly to the music as the astronauts venture onto the sand, almost seduced by it.
This episode and the Cry of Silence are my two favorites. The number one best of series is Demon with a Glass Hand.
3:35 Next time they make astronaut space suites, they may want to put a clear face shield on the helmets.
Just a thought.
likely to prevent fogging from the actor's breath and to eliminate the possibilities of both set lighting glare on a glass or plastic visor and of reflections of cameras - crew - off set stage structures ...
@@pastateconstablesoffice I know, I am just having some fun picking at it.
Brilliant!
It’s sad, but there’s nothing for us on Mars. The Martians have to go home; and Biosphere needs to be cleaned-out, before all those Martian critters escape. (If they haven’t already). As a people, we’re not ready for space travel until we’re proud of our own civilization.
This video is incomplete, with no recognizable links to the second half
I guess back in the 60's, Mars had oxygen. Did anyone else notice that Fred didn't have his visor down on his helmet? 🤣
where's the rest of it??????????
