ONE STEP BEYOND - 1959 - TV SERIES - EPISODE - JOHN NEWLAND - RARE DVD

Produced at the same time as the more well-known "The Twilight Zone" (1959), this series was an extension of the tradition of radio horror and supernatural dramas such as "Lights Out," "The Mysterious Traveler," and "The Witches Tale." As with the "Twilight Zone" and the radio programs, each tale was book-ended by an introduction and conclusion by a host. However, rather than creating fictional stories with supernatural twists and turns, this program sought out "real" stories of the supernatural, including ghosts, disappearances, monsters and the like, 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?"
