I enjoyed this show in the early 60s as a very young child .And still enjoy seeing the shows at 65 now. Glad they posted them .

[@paulalexander2928]

These episodes make you think and are well thought out . They didn't rely on a bunch of teenagers blundering around in the dark buckets of blood and cheesy dialogue to make you cringe.

[@BEAUTYnIQ]

what no blood and vampires and wizards and zombies .. ?????

Newland aged superbly well...wow.

[@gogo-word]

This one scared me, a real spooker! And those endless party noises that no one could reach. Yikes!

[@misskate3815]

There used to be music over the next hill where I grew up. Over the next hill, but somehow you could never actually reach it.

[@arbjful]

@@misskate3815 I am glad you didn’t go searching for the music, you never know where you could end up

[@estherdmartinez1346]

Reminds me when a couple got lost in the mountains of California bc they tried to reach a very clear vivid sound of a waterfall. They walked and walked until they got lost, they did find a sad water flow that echo in the mountains it wasn't a waterfall. They were lost for a week before they were rescued.

[@CuriousGoodsJessica]

Black and white is always better for a scare factor when the story has any intelligence and isn't just shock value scenes, it's the subtlety that gives it quality. More thought makes it scarier in your own mind, rather than you just being shown, I think.

[@marylevin9262]

Oh absolutely!

[@colettaziehm705]

True. When I saw certain Vincent Price movies in color they didn't seem as spooky.

[@rogerlynch5279]

Other as my mother who had loved this kind of show I could just watch those episodes years later because as a boy they gave me nightmares :)

[@robinclark2483]

Real talk 😮

[@FlowerLady-tv3ys]

Vincent Price always gave me the creeps when I was a kid. These black & white shows or movies just make it more classic and fun to watch. They don't make them any more. These poor kids are missing out, what we had growing up. Oh well....one day they will make fun of this generation. Lol!!

Having a marathon of watching One Step Beyond, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits and similar anthology TV series. I've enjoyed these shows since I was a child but watching it during the COVID-19 isolation period makes it even more creepy. Hope everyone is safe. :)

OSB was based on documented but inexplicable psychic experiences. I watched these as a boy and now, at 73, see them through a somewhat different lens. I am the firstborn of a very psychic mother and saw many examples of her ability. I inherited a tiny percentage of her gift, but enough to know real psychic ability exists. I could never control my minor talent, if that is even the right word, but I did experience many modest psychic occurrences. There have been fewer as I aged, and to be candid, I never liked having these things happen. None the less, psychic ability is real, though greatly imitated by hucksters.

[@Wellch]

Is Lucid Dreaming real?

[@nancyking]

That's how it is in my family, too. My mother had a strong psychic gift, and her mother did, too. I have a little of it, and when I was in my 20s and 30s, used CDs and something called a Nova Dreamer to help make it stronger, but I didn't like how it made me feel, so I stopped it.

[@stanleymadeira1623]

[@colettaziehm705]

I do too. I was watching my granddaughter over the weekend. I was watching episodes. She asked if she could watch something else. I asked why,and she said I don't like black and white shows. I said these are classic, some of the best shows,such as this one were made that way. She told me they were old and boring. Kids! I watched a couple more then let her watch. My kids,38,36,&32,all watched when they were young, but my daughter wasn't interested. My boys loved both OSB &TZ.

[@steffie6008]

I have never heard about this show, but now i love it!

[@polara01]

I always loved One Step Beyond but never saw this series and I am a real sucker for haunted house stories this one really creeped me out and head the hairs of my back standing up. The way they show the body of the older lady at the end was very realistic and creepy the way Rigamortis was setting in and she was locked in that posture of Terror was very chilling and creepy. Wonderful to see mr. Newland still quite poised and his old self here he aged very well and looks pretty healthy here still. Thanks for posting these and I just read you intentionally put this in black and white what a great idea it definitely adds to the mysteriousness of it! Thank you! You got a new subscriber. Peace, Bob

[@colettaziehm705]

This was scary at the end. I tend to be fascinated by stories that are like this one. I have read many of this kind,and like you, yes the hair does stand up. I was bothered by the ending. I'm very surprised the sheriff didn't question him.

[@colettaziehm705]

You are right about John Newland. He did age well. He hadn't changed much. But the times and what people wanted to see on TV did.

[@luizamorim1626]

But the problem are the 1970s clothes... they are a turn-off...lf l had seen it in colours l would've hated it...

[@JaneFrieman]

What is missing is the eerie music (when something supernatural occurs) from the original One Step Beyond.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

You can see that. I can see that. Almost all of the viewers here can see that. Why couldn't they see it when they made this series in 1978 (?) Sigh . . .

[@colettaziehm705]

No matter how many times I watch, day or night, the music always, never fails to terrorize me. From beginning to end.

[@michaelharrington7656]

This one came as a surprise to me as I had never heard of The Next Step Beyond. The strange girl you meet on the road was a popular starting point for several stories in this genre. To me the story came off well. The half hour length is about right for a weird tale. I wish there were more. Thank you.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

This is generally rated as the best of "The Next Step Beyond" episodes, which otherwise have a deservedly poor reputation among OSB admirers. The single, 25-episode season of the series was produced in color -- which, to my mind, just exacerbates its faults. So I've posted this in B&W to give it the best chance it can have . . .

A neighbor of mine told me that she and her husband frequently heard sounds of a party downstairs in her former home. Yet when she investigated, the noise ceased. Eventually she called down to the unseen party-goers. She urged them to go to the house next door. Those people spent their winters in Florida so that house was empty. They wouldn't disturb anyone trying to sleep. That was the last she heard of the merry makers.

[@shirleypena4133]

+EAnnH Shame on your neighbor! Didn't she realize that her neighbors would then have to deal with those "unseen Party-goers" once they returned home?!

[@eannh4928]

LOL Shirley Pena! That possibility hadn't crossed my mind. I merely thought it was a nifty way to exorcise ghosts. It would be a flop as a film of course. No chanting in Latin, etc.

Also without the original theme music it just seems flat. I was seven when OSB started airing, my parents loved it and so did/do I, even if I didn’t understand a lot at that age.
