Product Description:
Actual, documented cases of the supernatural, the paranormal, and the occult are dramatized in the first season of the half-hour anthology ONE STEP BEYOND. Included among the strange-but-true (or believed to be true) tales narrated by series director John Newland is the opening episode "THE BRIDE POSSESSED," starring Virginia Leith (THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE) as a newlywed who has a strange feeling that she has already lived in the town where she is honeymooning. Subsequent installments include "THE DARK ROOM," with Cloris Leachman as a photographer who is stalked by a man supposedly long dead; "THE VISION," featuring BONANZA's Pernell Roberts as one of four French soldiers who vanish from the face of the earth after witnessing an unusual white light; "NIGHT OF APRIL 14TH," with THE AVENGERS' Patrick Macnee in the story of a grotesque premonition involving a certain ill-fated ocean liner; "THE HAUNTED U-BOAT," with future HOGAN'S HEROES co-star Werner Klemperer as a escaped Nazi tortured by a mysterious and inexplicable pounding noise; and "ECHO," in which a man who has been exonerated of a homicide charge (Ross Martin of THE WILD, WILD WEST fame) sees himself committing the same murder over and over...in his own mirror.
Product Description:
One Step Beyond was mainly filmed at M-G-M Studios, Hollywood, and partly at M-G-M British Studios, Borehamwood, Herts. It premiered nine months before The Twilight Zone, and was also known as Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond. All episodes are directed by Newland himself, a dab hand whose trademark is subtle, balletic camera work. This series fed the nation's growing interest in paranormal suspense in a different way. Rather than creating fictional stories with supernatural twists and turns, this program sought out 'real' stories of the supernatural, including ghosts, disappearances, monsters, etc., and re-creating them for each episode. No solutions to these mysteries were ever found, and viewers could only scratch their heads and wonder, "what if it's real'"
