Gee. Shouty Loud Guy gets everything he wants except.........there's no bargaining with the grave

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@Brendan Gilmore: I guess I appreciate that the world needs all kinds (Including A-type personalities) . . . but it's useful to also be reminded that all types get sorted out accordingly. A humbling thought for us to entertain, courtesy of OSB . . .

[@cellsdoni5968]

@Branden Gilmore Pair him up with a female lawyer.

[@Lolabelle59]

Haven't watched this in three years and it still gives me chills. Love it.

[@bettyburke8653]

Can’t beat the old movies. Brilliant.

[@tracycraft2971]

I’m amazed at all the wonderful actors I remember watching as a child!! This series is just fantastic!

[@cheyenneasiafoxe292]

Your so right dear! Just wonderful stories and acting...like the stage!

[@margaritacano5466]

WOW, I LOVE THE CLARITY OF BLACK AND WHITE MOVIES MAKES THEM SO ORIGNAL,THE SOUND EFFECTS AWESOME ❤❤❤

Just discovered these videos and I love them thanks much love Arlene from Scotland xoxoxo

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Welcome!

[@andrewpetik2034]

What an inventive series this was and still is!

[@Gremllion]

Is it an inventive series as someone said? From what I gathered these are true stories different from twilight zone and other fiction shows. I don't think I'm decieved. I will investigate and see. I have been watching for weeks now and I vaguely remember from my childhood in the 50s and 60s but I think they take factual stories and reproduce them. Now they may enhance and leave you wondering but I'll find out as I think there on the level and well done. Better than the Twilight Zone

[@andrewpetik2034]

​@Gremllion I came to watch this episode again and I just now found your reply. From what I have been able to find out, these episodes are based on true stories. That makes them all the more fascinating! ✌️

[@maryserrano6448]

They just don't make series like this anymore. I still enjoy seeing all the episodes that they made back then.

[@melanieliles2923]

That was a good one!!

[@cheyenneasiafoxe292]

Wow such great stories!!

[@m10bob22]

I think it strange people would actually give a "thumbs down" on the episodes of this great series. If they were some kind of authority...or had made some great contribution to society themselves???

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

It's okay. I just keep the comments from getting out of control . . . and otherwise, it's "live and let live".

[@duvipearson6251]

Young bloods being bratty that's all

[@cbass2755]

It’s probably the young used to CGI and all that other stuff the requires the people who think their are “actors” feel their “acting” a part”….Lol…..our Hollywood sucks today

[@beckybest4368]

I just found out about this series. I've been watching a couple of episodes a night!

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

Glad you found this channel . . .

@@christinegelabert1651 Here's a video about why most people seem not to have seen this series: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4ObdIWEnbyDjpo&

[@Lolabelle59]

The actor (Walter Burke) who plays the stone cutter played in another One Step Beyond Episode, "Front Runner". The actor (Arthur Shields) who plays the father played the Reverend in "The Quiet Man". The actor (Joe Mantell) who plays the son played Marty's know-it-all best friend in "Marty". Thanks again for uploading such great copies of this classic show.

[@NordeggSonya]

I believe the reverend in Quiet Man (oh what a film!!!) was also in The Bells of St Mary's with Bing Crosby. Made me cry!

[@bp.andrewherron8539]

Arthur Shields was Barry Fitzgerald’s brother

[@rogerlynch5279]

Walter Burke did several roles on the show mostly kind of magical people

[@donaldleroy6502]

The Marty starring Ernest Borgnine? I love that movie, there are probably a dozen movies he made I haven't seen yet, I always thought his talent was wasted on mchales navy

[@joecombs7468]

Walter Burke was in a lot of movies

[@proudinfidel7658]

Pop was great in the movie The Quite Man with John Wayne. Remember? He was a parson.

[@deannaporter783]

That was awesome! Didn’t see that coming! One of the better ones...well written!

[@TheJayhawker83]

Best episode of this series.

[@notyou6674]

i thought the ending would be he murders the stoncutter and the stone he was carving would be predicting his own death

[@lizettewanzer8650]

"You can't stop death with a phone call."

[@erickanew]

Wow never saw that coming in the end. Love these unlike the modern predictable tv

[@Anotherway04]

This is evidently the last and final episode of OSB I've seen on KZbin as I've made a point to see them all. What a profound, eerily scary yet anecdotal, truth baring way to finish this truly great show from days long ago. The son, Stan Lockhart, was terminated a few months after I was born in 1958.

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@Anotherway042: Well done . . .

[@rolex4524]

What a wonderful show! This is the quality of TV that I grew up with in the 1950's and 1960's. Beautifully written and acted. There was no need for special effects when watching these screenplays...the story, the acting, and your imagination provided everything needed! This quality of TV is gone, most of today's audiences want 90% visual effects, and the remaining 10% story/quality of acting doesn't mean a damn thing. Thank you.

[@maxinenall9950]

It's so much fun seeing the old Hollywood actors 🥰

[@managerof3monsters]

Great one!!

[@djgospelslimwtyj97.7fm6]

Wow!!

[@donaldleroy6502]

If these premonitions had been revealed a couple of centuries ago that stone cutter would have been burned at the stake

[@Lyrielonwind]

The Inquisition! 😱

[@donaldleroy6502]

@@Lyrielonwind I thought the inquisition was about the Spaniards dominating the indigenous people of South America four or five centuries ago. But I confess I don't know the COMPLETE history, did they burn folks at the stake also?

[@edotis3389]

I wonder if the stone cutter Mensie made one for himself five years earlier with the same date as his father. Sept 7 57? You think he'd have seen that one coming. A mile away.

[@Richard-zc1cj]

As the stonecutter was being choked I thought he was carving his own headstone.

[@alexman8800]

He sees but not for everyone including himself. Those whom he did not / could not see, he did not carve.

[@tomlayman3141]

A true story or did Mr. Newland not say it was a "matter of public record"?

[@MissouriPenny]

Love these classic old series 👌 thanks for sharing

[@garman1966]

These are so much better than the Twilight Zone. Every time I see the TZ now I'm disappointed; when I see these They're always awesome!

[@cristynlane6366]

Wow, that was Brutal!! and I thought I had bad luck. Guess it doesn't pay to be a psychic stone cutter!

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@cristyn lane: If you're truly a psychic anything . . . it pays to keep it to yourself.

[@holdupfareal8353]

One-Step-Beyond Usually, in my experience, when you have this prior knowledge, it’s to make things right. It’s not to argue or try to prove oneself right.

[@cellsdoni5968]

@16:48 or so, doc said he gave the old man some morphine AND a stimulant . . . Well, any date you put on his stone after that would do the trick.

[@eddiebanks5907]

Lol, I thought the same: Speedball, circa 1957!

[@57curtnevan]

This is one of the very best of OSB! The Reunion is another. Season 2 was imho the best year of OSB, and many of them come back to me as I, now 66, watch them on KZbin for the first time in 60 years. Thank you so much for this. No great surprise that I became a Parapsychologist as a young adult. The fact that these were presented as documented stories made a lasting impression beyond The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, which I viewed as little more than entertainment. John Newland was an awful actor, but his great contribution to Psychic Phenomena is, fortunately, here preserved for posterity. John Newland and Dr.J. Allen Hynek (Project Blue Book) were the pioneers!

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

@Curt Rayvis: Glad you found this channel. In our ratings of episodes, the top 5 best episodes . . . and 7 of the top 10 . . . are from Season 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ilhKaCmNh2gNU

[@eriksojka9209]

Very good!!!!

[@RWS1255]

Appreciate this channel 👏👏. I don't remember watching OSB growing up. What a treat 😍. LMAO @ Dr. " I gave him some morphine and a stimulant " 🤔isn't that like a speedball?

[@lisamckay2431]

The stone cutter should have use that hammer for self defense! I love this show. 😊♥️

[@OneMan-wl1wj]

9:23 Yanks and throws mallet across room. "Alright what do you want !" "A mallet will do for a start " Classic. 😆

Scary

Soooooooo 000000 Good

[@v.c.f5109]

So. Unique stories

[@holdupfareal8353]

Poor stone cutter, I wonder if he had a stone with his name on it! Is it me or is the stone cutter also the old jockey that got revenge on his ex best friend?

[@whalesnamedshark]

I wish he didn’t have to hit the deck like that poor man

[@gorymarty56]

So sad

[@vistulacooper6802]

Whoa!

[@docbailey3265]

Head dog.

[@Lyrielonwind]

That was a scary one 😬

[@vanekirk]

Justice!

[@thiseasathens]

This guy Stan was right to get very angry. I would too. The cutter could prepare the tomb stone and leave the date of death blanc and then the day of death of the person he could fill it,. How long would this take him? An hour? Who cares if he had a gift to predict? The people who lost their own took it as a bad luck but even as a self submission. Some weirdo tells you that you will die this day and you do die !! Very freaking indeed.

[@kevincozens6837]

There was another OSB episode that was similar to this one in that it dealt with a stone cutter but I don't recall the episode title.

[@thinkaboutit3366]

Carving a tombstone before someone ones death 💀, interesting 🧐…tales of the unknown 👁

[@imagineartsstudio]

2:18 it’s a long way are you gonna fly? “Duh!” They were saying DUH back then?

[@one-step-beyond-1959]

"According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the interjection 'duh' first appeared in a 1943 Merrie Melodies cartoon, and _its popularity grew in the late 1950s._ Merriam-Webster defines 'duh' as 'an actual or feigned ignorance or stupidity' . . ."

Can the son claimed self defense for trying to stop the stone cutter from carving his grave stone ?

[@johnberry6077]

The stories are great, but the violin and cello accompaniment drives me up the wall.

[@whalesnamedshark]

How on earth is it murder?

[@alexman8800]

Defendant : It was self defense. I tried to stop him from finishing my stone.

[@leanie9660]

At 17:00 it looks like there is an R I P on the wall

[@zolalee8079]

my favorite series... in this most will think I'm terrible for saying this .. but I side with his son...an feel he deserved prison..but not death...I felt such sympathy for him.. you really have to hear what the son is saying though to understand where he is coming from
