One Step Beyond (TV-1959) DOOMSDAY S2E4

[@derekthompson2954]

No special effects, no CGI, no computer enhancement, no stunts, no swearing not all brilliant actors but makes - just plain simple entertainment with a little bit of education into what might be beyond our senses - I still find these programs great to watch 50 years after they were produced.

[@SagesseNoir]

More talent was required in the the 1950s & 60s.

[@Puddycat00]

Derek Thompson oh please, they’re all over acting. Terrible actors. But the stories are ok so I put up with all the corny music and acting

[@lauriedavis400]

😱And _IMMEDIATELY_ Genna Ross!!!!

[@suzieqwonder3089]

I disagree! The creepy on-going ooo-oooing is ridiculous! However, the other episodes don’t seem to have this distraction & I do enjoy them!

[@Carly8Corday]

@@Puddycat00 I'm glad I don't have to wait for a master chef to cook my meals or else I'd not get to eat. Putting on shows is for entertainment and it's always art. Wincing and flinching at "bad acting" is a real waste. I promise you, you're missing half the enjoyment you claim to be so sporting as to settle for despite the awful actors, who aren't awful anyway, but exactly what's required for the venue. I just thank God these lively hard-working people are WILLING. (And real human beings, BTW, plenty of them still as much alive as I am, utilizing KZbin just like you and I do.)

[@delso-wk9sq]

Whoa! I thought that I had seen all of One Step Beyond. Somehow, I missed this one. Great episode. Wouldn't it be great if such talented actors and writers were still with us? Gotta confess, I love black and white shows.

[@patriot9455]

They may be, but their style of acting is insufficiently dramatic, and the writers capable of such work either no longer work in the industry, or have been left behind in the most callous of ways. Human drama has been replaced by other types of more visually exciting entertainment.

[@lisaindahouse1304]

When they shifted to ALL (actors) being political I wasn't interested anymore. I do NOT CARE what a theater person has to say about politics

[@homegown1234]

What is so appealing about these series is those actors who played roles helped them become better actors through time due to these series during the 1950s shows - which help provide them their acting skills that needed sharpening. Such as Carolyn Jones, Suzanne Pleshette, Warren Beatty and many other great actors that went on to acquire Oscars and other recognition too.

[@matthewferguson7084]

It sort of reminds me of the 'headquarters theme' from Austin Powers--the style and outline of the intervals feel similar.

[@gloriahanes5338]

We crave for what we do not have, we want to experience what is out of our grasp. Watching black/white productions thrill us without the trappings of color, graphic effects, and foul language. No wonder we want to escape to a world we remember, or one we have never experienced.

[@occultustactical6138]

Rod Serling had a sense of drama. But One Step Beyond was a trend setter that other would try to immulate.

[@princerupert6161]

No blood, no gore, no over the top monsters or naked nubile women screaming their lungs out. Just the most creepy music to send a shudder up the spine, together with a tale we're told is on record as true. We're all sitting around a TV, most probably in the dark back in the day.. And the rest is left to the place were all ghosts and fears reside... The imagination! Splendid!! I'd watch this any day over such dross as say, the texas chain saw massacre. If anyone has seen the old black and white film The Haunting will know where I'm coming from.

Or, if the person was seriously ill to begin with, loss of blood would weaken the body to the point where the illness could become fatal, as happened to George Washington.

In most cases it was actually beneficial. Research has shown that those who give blood regularly are less prone to some types of disease. Sometimes it went too far, of course, and others couldn't be cured anyway.

[@geenal360]

If all of the first born sons are cursed - why is there still men with first born sons? I guess the brothers of the first born?

[@awilson329]

All of them would have been succeeded by second and third born sons. Around 2009-11, after seeing this episode, I found a real British peer line where the first born son died before the father for about five consecutive generations during the 18th-19th centuries (unfortunately I did not memorize or write down the name). That may have been the inspiration for this episode.

@@DNTMEE Every curse is in the power of a new individual to break, to nix it. The family curse sticks only through the generations if they repeat same practices that brought the initial curse to some ancestor you know, so it is always depending on the decisions of a living descendant, that is also Biblical. Like if this story is real, the man deserved much worse for meddling where it's not his right, breaking his son's heart and killing him practically as if with his own hands, and then so wickedly killing another human by way of ridiculing the justice, and also hearing her curse, didn't want to do anything to fix the situation while still having the opportunity, he practically let it fall upon his descendants as well, just didn't care. Just to see her burn, nothing else mattered to him. But each new descendant could act better and break the curse.
