Description

Before The Twilight Zone there was…

One Step Beyond

Hosted by John Newland

Have you ever sensed that you’ve been some place before, or witnessed a bewildering situation involving the unexplainable or the paranormal? Have you ever been curious about past lives, ESP, clairvoyance, apparitions, or out-of-body experiences? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes," then you’ve taken a small step beyond. Now take a giant step with the One Step Beyond DVD collection, an anthropology of some of the best entertainment from the Golden Age of Television.

Before there was The Twilight Zone, this highly imaginative series set the groundwork for the ironic and abnormal, and was of one of the first to depict "real" accounts of the paranormal.

Scared Me, Too
Friday, December 31, 2004

I agree with "Scared Me Then..." I first saw the show when I was eight years old. My two sisters and I would stay up late on Friday nights and huddle under a blanket on the sofa watching each episode. It was by far the most intelligent programming on TV at the time ( If anyone remembers such drivel as Huckleberry Hound and Touche Turtle, you'll appreciate this statement!) Even if it did scare the pants off us and have us all sleeping in the same bed, we wouldn't have missed iot for anything.

Public Domain material often sells for $1 per disc .
Monday, December 13, 2004

I cannot imagine why this 12 or 8 DVD set sells for so much money when the producer did not have to pay any distribution rights for the material now in the public domain. My only criticism is price and that it should be priced accordingly for what it is. Why if you did not read these reviews and based on the price you might expect to be receiving a beautifully mastered set from excellent pre-print materials.

The reason for quality issues
Thursday, September 16, 2004

Well, allow me to explode a little myth. The reason these episodes are in such "low quality" is not because the company "doesn't care about the customer" or some such shallow gripe. The reason these DVD discs are mastered from somewhat bad quality 16 mm film prints is that this series is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. Almost everything released by Delta is a Public Domain film or TV show. That means (usually) that the copyright holder has gone bankrupt and did not renew the copyright, causing the content to enter the public domain (a very difficult and complicated topic, look at www.eldred.cc for more information).
Anyway, sometimes this means that the negatives or "masters" are not even available. They may have been misplaced in storage, are held in some tight-fisted collector's vault, or simply thrown in the garbage by someone who did not know what exactly they had. In such a case, the only copies left are film prints floating around in the hands of various collectors. This is probably also the reason why not all of the episodes have been released: the releasing company could only lay their hands on a certain number of 16 mm film prints out of the entire series. Fortunately, the fact that these episodes are in the Public Domain means that we, the public, can legally see them, since a company (or anyone else) can legally duplicate and sell them. So don't cry or moan about the low quality here: we're probably lucky we've got these episodes to view at all. As far as the dramatic content, there's plenty here for fans of The Twlight Zone and other similar shows, and I can recommend them highly on that basis with no qualms or modifiers whatsoever. Great stuff out of the past.

beat up 16mm TV station copies, but....
Sunday, August 15, 2004

...you DO get the show and it WAS great.

LOTS of splices. Bits of missing dialogue. The films from which they made the transfer....in pretty bad shape. BUT...it's just like Saturday afternoon TV on that local station way-back-when.

Scared Me Then and Scares Me Now
Tuesday, June 15, 2004

I saw One Step Beyond when I was 7 years old and it scared the socks off me. I bought this 12 DVD set and it still scares me 45 years later. I have no problem with the DVD quality of this set. My only complaint is that not all the episodes are out on DVD. I hope the manufacturer hurrys up! The ones that really scared me will hopefully be on the second set.
