There were 3 mystery/suspense shows in b&w using a narrator to introduce the action and all were great: "One Step Beyond," "Twilight Zone, and "Alfred Hitchcock." The shows used great scripts and superior acting.
As a boy it would be debilitating to dream the same dream every night. How hard it would have been to change his morbid sense of doom. If he could have broke through and lived life without fear. What fears do we live with that prevent us from fully living?
What a pleasure to watch TV from a time when acting and good writing really mattered. Even low budget, black and white, poor picture quality (especially by modern standards) are not enough to keep this from being a GREAT half hour show. Amazing how much you can do with a half hour! Thank you for resurrecting John Newland and OSB. Magic mushroom episode please!
@Curt Rayvis: Actually, the episodes were filmed in pristine 35mm movie quality -- they're just not available, expect for Season 1. Most of the episodes you see here are video copies of video copies of 16mm copies of the original 35mm prints . . .
@@one-step-beyond-1959 Thanks for the info. I watched these as a young boy when they were new, and wound up majoring in Parapsychology. I remembered the Sacred Mushroom episode only after the first time I actually ate Psilocybin mushrooms myself in 1975!
@@57curtnevan Glad you found this channel. I've tried introducing PSI-related research videos on it -- Radin, Targ, Tart, etc. There wasn't much interest in that . . .
I've waited fifty years to see this again during which time I've often thought of this story and the superb twist in it. It would be true to say it's 'haunted' me! Thanks for posting it.
Glad you found this episode again. The experience of "fifty years" (or equivalent) comes up a lot in comments on these OSB videos. Encouraging that is one of the main reasons that this channel was created . . .
Very strange... i think he made it happon by thinking so strongly about it. Every dsy of his life. Thank you so much for this episode. I have never seen it before. Thank you. 🤗⚘🤗⚘
There’s a Korean film called Parallel Life. It’s like this episode, leaving you asking if a man can escape his fate or if what he does to escape that fate only brings him closer to it. If you’re interested, it’s available on Tubi, a free movie channel that doesn’t ask for a credit card.
I ran across One Step Beyond about 4 years ago and I literally watched every episode that I could find and I fell in love with this old classic show, I guess I can say I watched reruns or the reruns I don't know. I can honestly say because of the time and era and television was still pretty new and they did what they could to captivate the audience I am still spooked by certain episodes especially the music. Thank You for sharing
True story: my sister began dreaming when she was in her teens that she was moving to Rochester, and that when she arrived at her new residence, the movers unloaded a wheelchair, leg braces etc. In the dreams, our brother would appear to announce that he would be "staying in Rochester", as well. We had NY ties, and so we all figured that it was Rochester, NY; it was a given that there was something to the dreams, as our family believed in psychic phenomena and more. Fast forward a few years; my sister had never had so much as a headache, but suddenly began to have problems with balance, vision and so on. We were in Illinois at this point, but the drs. suggested a referral to - Mayo in Rochester, MN. We picked up and moved as a family, and it was there that we were told that my sister was terminally ill. :( While there, my brother passed away, thereby "staying in Rochester". Now, watching this I am reminded that, good or bad, you cannot change fate. TY for uploading.
The OSB episode about the Egyptian haunted me my whole life.....from the time I used to watch it with my mother, as a child. I stumbled across it here on you tube ....I was so glad to see it again !! Crazy what captures our imaginations at times, isn't it?!
I don't remember osb but I have few memories of it I was a 70s 80s kid I remember the late show reruns creature feature, tz,ol and osb ...the only 1 that stay in my mind as a kid had Robert Blake as an escape prisoner (irony?) He had escape w a fellow prisoner while the prison guards were shooting trying to prevent there escape , the 2 ND prisoner was wounded and dying and told Robert Blakes character to go back and give himself up which he did. When he went back he told them why he came back and the guards inform him the 2nd prisoner was killed at the gate and he never got away. That always stay w me as a kid. Saw one recently where 2 ppl had the same dream and worry the other died ,they found each other and recounted the same dream... I always heard these were based on true stories...
This episode was so scary, unsettling, harrowing... yet so thought-provoking. I realised that not all but many of us may actually have a much bigger part to play on our fate than we think we do, something which we're too busy with and lost in our daily hassle of school, work, etc. to realise. Figuring/finding out when, where, how we can actually get to control our fate is the hardest part. I once have read this analogy somewhere: "It is the God who deals the cards, but we're the ones who get to choose how to play them.".
Oedipus could not escape his destiny. Here, it seems this man could have escaped had he stood still instead of mingling with sailors. Yet, no one can say for sure.
Only discovered OSB recently, we didn't get it in the UK & I'm constantly impressed by the production, especially the sets, they must have had a great budget, a brilliant production team or both! Thanks.
💥HAPPY IDEA💥 Sometimes I forget if I watched a show so now by always clicking like I can see I've watched an episode and never forget to like for our host 🤗💡🤗
Thanks, yes I am familiar with his career back history. I was a big fan of his way back when. Such a shame he was taken from us so early in his life. :(
That's the classic definition of irony: taking steps to avoid an unwanted fate and bringing it about in the process. You can find it in the Bible and Shakespeare as well.
His phobia eventually killed him. It is amazing how debilitating mental disorders can be...the body healthy but the mind directing it distorting reality, making mountains out of mole hills and villains out of mere shadows.
Most of the 13 British episodes have a slightly different feel than the American episodes. It was a smart production move to do half a season in Britain . ..
One-Step-Beyond Hmmm thank you for putting up all that you do. I love them to pieces and have been watch on tv very late at night since I've been a teen. Watching them now at 41. 😊 thank you 😊
You're welcome. My CZcams channel playlists have episodes arranged by various criteria -- including the rarely seen episodes from Season 3. Lots of other stuff on my website . . .
Yes, these episodes are available on certain DVD sets . . . but only in frustratingly poor transfers from 16 mm syndication prints. Check my website for discussion of this. I have re-edited most of these episodes by hand (synchronizing sound, for example, and standardizing color saturation). These are the best versions you're likely to find available anywhere until CBS releases the 35 mm versions from their vaults (if they ever do that) . . .
In this case can't say destiny played a just part. A man haunted throughout his life and then his reasoning twisted causes his own death through wrong conclusions.
generally there are two types of folks, one who create their destiny and one who have an inescapable destiny, believe you me , I wasted my whole life studying and observing these things,
Had a dream I fell off a rope bridge in the Himalayas...we were being persued.. I woke the household I was 10. It kept coming . Till I knew I was dreaming . Then in phx on south mountain the Dalai Llama showed up .. he came right at me arms open ... went home turned on the news and learned who my new friend was 20 years later I studied the yogi thing... an old yogi explained I was his guard and he returned to thank me.. the day the Dalai Llama came looking for ME
Ok then. Child growing up fearless. Is bad. Fear is what keeps us alive. Cant. Raise a child to not fear anything or fear it all. Happy medium. Teach. Life. Not. What you think a man should be.

Very strange...and yet..it did happen. How can someone deal with such supernatural epiphany. I guess, prayer only, for pills cannot help. He tried too hard and was so full of fear, but then only a wearer knows how the shoe pinches.
Sure. It's a "rare episode" . . . if it's not available on commercial DVD . . . and never been uploaded to CZcams before. So these are the episodes that people would least likely already have seen . . .
