Being the Devil is probably not as easy as we think. A lot of the time you just have to work with the human material at hand. From my own experience, I can imagine how frustrating that must be . . .
I thought it was only my age group watching these to remind us of our childhood, but I think other age groups who came after us are enjoying these too. That's neat.
"only my age group" ??????????????????? Have you heard of this thing called tv? Now I know it's very old fashioned a thing now, but the tv networks have been running and rerunning old shows for decades and decades. I used to watch the Dick Van Dyke show and other ones on Nick at Night and then Twilight Zone got a bunch of re-runs in the early 90s too on various networks, and that's just for starters. Heck, until about 10 years ago Perry Mason would come on at 12pm sharp every day and had been doing so for over 30 years at the point it stopped airing, as I recall.
These old shows are SO much better than reality TV - I don't even watch TV anymore, it's such garbage. Thank you & Thanks TH-cam for access to quality shows & movies, etc. we'd never have access to!
I prefer the older programming. I no longer watch much tv because most American programming is so bad. We’ve been watching movies and tv from other countries for years. As long as I can find things with subtitles we are happy. I appreciate access to these old programs and movies.
I agree with you 1,000%. Today's TV Shows, Movies & Music are FILTHY GARBAGE & they're not worth a DIME. Give me the oldies but goodies anyday 7/24/365.
I *love* how the moderator himself physically & verbally weaves himself into the lurid tale at hand (he himself addressing the camera face-on from ground zero & explaining to his rapt viewers what would commence from there forward), but without letting his presence be noticed by the characters who are the core members of the story!!!!!
The statements regarding the many facts about the feelings and needs of plants were far, far ahead of their time. I am truly stunned. I have an aunt, whose name is Rose, has grown the most beautiful roses in our home town. She has always attributed it to her compliments she verbally heaps upon her rose bushes. I am a believer.
I am a believer, as well. At the end of the episode "Moment of Hate", John Newland tells of a study done at Duke University regarding the sensitivity - to say the least - of plants and human positive/negative energy directed at them.
I suggest that people in a good mood will be more conscientious in their responsibilities... nothing too mysterious, nothing “paranormal”, just human nature.
my dad encouraged/discouraged me from watching this series, but we talked at length about these. he explained not everything can be explained but i needed a deep knowledge of science to know the difference between mysticism and something that can't be explained. recently, when i watched a why files on ghost hunting and i took the time to understand what the philosophy of ghost hunting/paranormal activity was, with biblical knowledge of the words of Christ, and the science of the ether, i could dismiss this as demonic, not mysticism, not science but religion. there are mysteries which are not mysticism, not religion, but unexplainable apart from what the bible states as predestination. like it or not, miracles happen and they can not be explained away. i hope you have an expanded understanding of the world from growing with the wisdom your father taught you.
I wasn't allowed to watch these as a kid when they were in re-run. Mum thought too scary. I still snuck a few episodes. So fun to see so many of them now.
I watched this program when it first aired. This is a good episode as all of them are. My favorite episode is: Tidal Wave! Thank you whom ever is uploading this great series!
In the early 60's there was a lot of psychological drama's like the Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, and One Step Beyond - and I was only 11 or 12 in 1961 so these dramas used to really scare me. Especially if they were on a warm evening and we had all of the windows and doors open to a dark, dark yard and street. Back then no one lit up their property with security lights so neighborhoods were very, very dark. And believe me it was spooky to a little kid.
@Nancy Desch: And you seem to have turned out so well (!) Makes one wonder what all of the constant sensory bombardment is costing 11 and 12 year olds today . . .
There was a lot of tension in the world with Russia and communism but most people here in the US had solid family life which insolated us from this stuff. Not that it didn't scare us to death - the Cuban Missile Crisis and everything else in the world. I feel really bad for the kids now who are exposed to ridiculous things on their silly phones, facebook, twitter, and so on. They need to disengage, turn the damn things off and experience the natural world if they want to have any sanity at all. Turn off their phones and only think of them as a telephone for gods sake.

With all the locations involved in these various episodes it seems they sure never cut corners. Add in Mr. Newland and Mr. Lubins haunting music and a winning combination is the result. Some of these episodes I've enjoyed seeing more than once and it's rare that I find one I haven't seen before...like this one. Thank you.
Yes, they must have had a great time making this series (!) Here is our playlist of the more rarely seen episodes: th-cam.com/play/PLR9KUynF_6FowuU31zsh9l-E6z5-l3B4h.html
I am impressed with the sets and costumes in all the episodes I've seen except one. The one about the Titanic strangely has no period costumes. The women are either in nightgowns, under a fur coat, or shown only from the waist up. The men's suits aren't period, either. I'd be curious to find out what happened with that one. I don't know if it's a reflection of a short budget, short time, or some other explanation.
I love John Newland he is a terrific host. And one step beyond is a great show like twilight zone. AND BY THE WAY DID YOU KNOW THAT JOHN NEWLAND WAS ALSO AN ACTOR. WATCH TALES OF TOMORROW THE EPISODE IS CALLED FRANKENSTEIN.
Check out The Loretta Young Show if you haven't yet. I just finished 8 seasons. Now I'm in withdrawal lol. John Newland directed and/or started in many of those episodes. He's so good.
Got got done watching 50 episodes of this show which I enjoyed as a young boy. Now I'm back on TH-cam to see the ones that weren't in the collection I d/led. Great show & based on true events.
Wow ! That Marya Stevens was gorgeous ! Thats the student who talked to the old man when the rest left. Im sorry I cant find any bio on her, except that she was in several shows. I loved this story, about how the flowers kept growing where the young man had been shot. He took over the professor's body and got the job done. Very good.
The comments about the needs of plants and their sensitivity was ahead of it's time. Sadly when Prince Charles of Britain & the Commonwealth made the same remarks. As a young man, he was sadly ridiculed in the press over it.
so wait a minute..what about the professor? Did an American citizen really attempt an assassination there? Did he succeed? Who did he shoot? Newland's synopsis usually tidys things up but this one left me wanting.
Here's what Newland had to say about it later: MUIR: Least favorite [episode of OSB] (?) NEWLAND: The one about the vine in Mexico. MUIR: That was “Blood Flower,” about an American professor being possessed by the spirit of a Mexican revolutionary whose blood had spilled on a plant . . . NEWLAND: It was a dumb, silly concept. The pits. Full interview at: one-step-beyond.info/newland2.html
When your conditioned to see one thing and one thing only,you don’t see what’s in front of your face. Doing nothing to improve life,inequality,racism,hatred,discrimination,dictatorship,capitalism,etc...has its own consequences. Even a worse life continues of what your against. That which is worth having,is worth fighting for. In all ways that are necessary.
111 dislikes...I hope is not because studios can't tell Mexican from Spanish music and, of course there have been infuences but I guess I would need the opinion of any latino americano older than forty...is there any?

I would believe more that the nice pacific professor was not being possessed by the spirit of a Mexican revolutionary. He was on a mission for the well being of his own government
According to John Newland's introduction the story takes place in South America so he would not be possessed by a Mexican, but by someone from a country in South America not North America.
Hmmm good concept. However, the professor was an unlikely candidate chosen by the devil.
Being the Devil is probably not as easy as we think. A lot of the time you just have to work with the human material at hand. From my own experience, I can imagine how frustrating that must be . . .
Why not God? He intervened historically more than once.

I love these old black and white movies, I am 50 and grew up on them. As a kid I thought that they were real,lol.
The musical themes are beautiful and uniquely haunting. They gave me chills as a child and still do.
And look what we have going on in America today, our potential loss of freedom in our own country.
