Product Description

One Step Beyond, the classic TV series of 1959, premiered nine months before another spooky, and perhaps more well known television show revolving around the paranormal, The Twilight Zone. Both shows featured hosts, were centered on the supernatural, and superbly evoked a spine-chilling experience for the viewer. But one immense distinction sets One Step Beyond apart from its successor--the episodes are true stories. Rather than tell fictional tales about the unexplained, this series relayed historic accounts of the unknown, including tales of ghosts, mysterious disappearances, and ghoulish monsters. Hosted by the intense and impenetrable John Newland, this long-running series promises you a bone-chilling fright night of creepy entertainment based on factual accounts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chock-Full of MidCentury Mystery and Supernatural Goodness, July 30, 2009

By	E. Malmberg (Romulus, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this set in a big box store somewhere, never having seen "One Step Beyond" the first time around. But knowing that "Twighlight Zone" was something I loved viewing on the SciFi Channel I purchased this - and LOVED IT!

There is something slightly more mannered yet weird in the production. There are many famous young faces. The stories are based on "true account" and in this it has a slightly tabloid feel.

Watching it a year later - I again loved it. That tells me it is a good DVD investment. I would take the risk if you've never seen "One Step Beyond" but enjoy the age and the genre.

This is a great video. It's like the twilight zone with a twist-they are true stories. Would reccommend highly, great price too.

I remember watching this series with my Dad "way back when". I was just in awe...the Twilight Zone premiered soon after it but this was the first TV series to delve into the paranormal. Dad and I watched it together again. We both still loved it!
