What If "The Phantom Planet" Was an Outer Limits Episode? (with commercials from 1964)

- Granted, the monster in this 1961 public domain film is not anywhere close to Outer Limits standards. But the movie isn't bad for a low-budget sci fi flick from the period. And the Outer Limits music and voice-over narration make it very watchable.

Same here. Born in 1956 and lived through the most magnificent years of sci-fi books, shows and movies
The algorithm just tossed this at me. Pitch perfect. Phantom Planet was a favorite of mine in the 60s when it played on Saturday afternoon at the Movies on our black and white T.V. Reformatted as an Outer Limits episode was brilliant. I was ten years old again. Thank you!
You're welcome, jrgunn.
i WATCHED THE OUTER Limits ON AN OLD BLACK AND white TV MANY YEARS AGO AND it's GREAT TO SEE it AGAIN ON U tube AND it Brings BACK MEMORIES 😊
Love watching the Outer Limits. My whole family sitting together in the living room in the dark in Los Angeles watching it on our 25 inch B&W RCA TV with rabbet ears antenna .
This is very interesting! I love the original OUTER LIMITS, one of the best science-fiction anthology series ever! Furthermore, during my younger years, I enjoyed watching THE PHANTOM PLANET in its original movie form more than once. However, I like it much better as an episode of the original OUTER LIMITS. You did an excellent job of converting it into this format! THE PHANTOM PLANET did contain elements that were worthy of the original OUTER LIMITS in style, content, and cinematography. That, combined together with the original OUTER LIMITS' eerie music, signature opening and closing, and the Control Voice made this a very entertaining and somewhat scary (in a delightful way) production to watch. In fact, if someone who was not as familiar with the movie or the television show were to watch this, they would probably think that it actually was an episode of the original OUTER LIMITS! Keep up the great work and let's have some more videos like this! :-)
I'm going to have to check out the actual film. I love classic sci fi. This guy did some great editing.
I want my very own Forbidden Planet
I’d be riding around in a 59 Cadillac shooting skeet and researching the krell
This is good viewing, better than stuff today commercials also great
My hat to you FredFlix - your editing and incorporation of the original "The Outer Limits" musical clips was very well done. I lived that era, used to be very impressed (i.e. scared) by the various "Outer Limits" creatures. Coleen Gray and Dolores Faith are absolutely gorgeous women of that era, a time of innocence, optimism and hope for the best (before the war that is). Thank you for the memories, Ciao, L (Veteran)
Great stuff, thank you. I was eight years old and loved The Outer Limits. That Pall Mall ad, too -a chorus of happy, soothing voices, inviting you to experience the joy of a terrible death from emphysema and lung cancer. Wow.
I so love the Outer Limits - any additions are great.
This is brilliant, Fred, thank you! The addition of Dominic Frontiere's music in scenes makes it perfect for the Outer LImits fan and your editing is just right.
Thanks, Michael. It's amazing how his music gives such gravitas to simple scenes.
He wrote some really interesting music. His pieces have been in a number of TV shows. He and Alexander Courage seem to have written the majority of music for the old science fiction shows.
@@wb7ptr Though Courage is credited for Star Trek much of the background music was written by others, including the great Fred Steiner. And let's not forget John Williams (and others) for the memorable Lost in Space scores.
@@FredFlix There were quite a few composers involved in most of those shows. Frontiere I believe wrote the score for the outer limits. The theme music. Courage I'm pretty sure is credited with the Star Trek theme. LONG time Trekkie here ...
@@wb7ptr Frontiere wrote all the music for S1 of OL, and was a producer, but he pulled out before S2 and took his music with him. His incidental music for OL was recycled for the fourth season of The Fugitive and the film Incubus. He also wrote music for The Invaders and The Immortal. His Immortal score was again recycled for Search (1972). Got busted scalping tickets though and did prison time.
OMGoodness---!!! It's so unbelievably honest and saluting the original 1960s series. Many thanks to all who made it possible.
You're welcome, Dave.
@@FredFlix My pleasure!
Music by Dominic Frontiere and the narration from "The Man Who Was Never Born" makes everything feel like The Outer Limits.
I put this on my playlist a year or so ago. I just watched again and this was a very good production for the Outer Limits. Thanks Fred wish you had more episodes but this was well worth watching.
I appreciate that, Speed Racer.
Love those old smoke commercials
I used to watch this show on TV in that period. I was in 10th grade at the time. The ads are a riot! I bought a used 66 Ford Mustang from a friend in 1971. I paid $300.00 for it. I had it for a number of years until I sold it to another friend. I enjoyed the car very much and it was quite reliable. Its odd to think of cigarettes being advertised on TV like they were. I smoked at the time but quit years later. Watching this is like going back in time.
Thanks for uploading this ,the Phantom Planet was good and I also like the 60s commercials especially the Ford Mustang add.
You're welcome, SG.
-Yeah, I loved that Mustang add & one year later i bought a brand new one. It starts at 14:50 incase you want to get there real fast.
Thanks Fred!! This was fun to watch. Loved it and remember well the time.
You're welcome, Val.
Very nicely done. It must've been quite an undertaking to put this all together: the sets, the animation, the actors, directing, filming, story, script, etc. I recognized the music from the original series, though I think some of the music and sound effects came from Forbidden Planet and perhaps some older sci fi shows as well. I absolutely loved this series as a child, and seeing this new old episode is quite a treat. Thank you.
i love everytime my playlist brings me here...i listen to a piece of it everytime...so fabulous
I love the commercials very nostalgic
The music for these shows was absolutely perfect.
These actors are as good as the Buzz and that made for TV B flick in 1969 this show is real
`£|£|
Always loved the free running oscilloscope like the old Heathkit IO-10s. When I gotta my first triggered Tek scope, I sure pooh-poohed the Heath scopes but remembered fondly this series. .
Look at all that high tech instrumentation in the spacecraft.
Just think, when the new Ford Mustang was coming out in April of 1964, the Beatles had only been known to America for less than 2 months. Where'd the time go. Great film.
That’s quite imaginative, adding the movie Phantom Planet to the TV series Outer Limits. 🙂They were both well written for their time.
I wonder how many people realize this movie features an actress who went on to appear in a couple of the original Outer Limits episodes.
Collen Gray? Nope - she was a star of classic film-noir such as Nightmare Alley, Kiss of Death, Kansas City Confidential.
Dolores Faith? Nope - she is known for this movie we are watching, of course; The Phantom Planet (1961), & The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964) - these 2 actresses were not in earlier Outer Limits, unless you can provide a source, _if_ these are one of the actresses' you are pointing out?
@@TAROTAI Delores Faith was also in Mutiny in Outer Space, which is another movie that has been Outer Limitized, which I just watched here on TH-cam very recently. And her character's name in that movie was "Faith". I believe this is her (the Outer Limits actress), although she doesn't look very familiar:

Lloyd Bridges WAS in A TV SHOW CALLED SEA HUNT MANY YEARS AGO WERE HE WAS A SCUBA diver AND it WAS A GREAT ONE 😊
What does Lloyd Bridges have to do with this?
This scales perfectly into an hour Outer Limits episode. Each was so different from the other that this certainly fits in.
Laughingly enough, my first exposure to this movie was via Mystery Science Theater 3000. I nearly wet myself laughing when the dog-man's spaceship interior was shown. Crow chimed in perfectly, while flames sped past the canopy, "I wonder why my check engine light is on?"
Regardless, you did a remarkable job here. Excellent use of editing and transplant of the "Control Voice."
Oh yeah. I remember that Mystery Science Fiction Theater 3000 show. It was pretty funny.
@@stephenlangsl67 Misery Seance Fiction Theater 3000 was never funny.
That costume is cheesier than the monster suit in It The Terror From Beyond Space.
Outstanding! Leslie Stevens would’ve been proud of you
That's a huge compliment, Tony.
Remember, Sesom is Moses spelled backwards.
Did you know the music for this movie was originally used for " Destination Moon " from 1950 ?.
@@johnbockelie3899 You mean read backwards! A Palindrome. Either a word or sentence that reads the same backwards. Examples:
Madam or Nurses run 🏃♀️
@@barryplant2895 No. Using your example, Moses isn't a palindrome unless used WITH Sesom. Moses NOR Sesom can be a palindrome when solitary.
Extraordinary and convincing job. Kudos Fred-der-rick!
Thank you, Dave.
This film even has Allyson Ames of OUTER LIMITS (Mrs. Leslie Stevens), but it's a "blink and you miss it" kind of role.
Good catch!
Sort of Gulliver story. Loved it when I was a kid back in the 60's. “Jaw's" plays the Monster. As an adult I perceive the amazingly wooden acting and dated film style.
Yes @FredFlix I feel that you are correct when you stated that The Outer Limits Standards are different then what we have seen here in The Phantom Planet. Upon viewing this somehow I could envison this TV pilot or The Outer Limits Equivalent as an influence for future TV series such as Star Trek and movie series such as Star Wars. Even some of the sound effects seem to have come from Star Wars.
This was Richard Kiel's first credited movie (although you can't actually see his face. He plays the Solarite), and it came out one year before Kiel did a memorable turn as the Kanamit in the classic Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man.
Clay Loomis. "IT'S A COOKBOOK!!"
@@janupczak1643 It is, and one of the best episodes of The Twilight Zone too.
@@ClayLoomis1958 I agree!❤
"Yes, Mr. Chambers, eat! We wouldn't want you to lose weight!"
This my favorite show show. The most chilling besides the Zante was the sixth finger I will never forget it it’s my favorite and quite horrifying.
It sounds as though you think this is a real Outer Limits episode.
I was 11 when I used to watch it. I was terrified lol.
Brillant. I love the introduction and closing narration. Very well done.
An actual Open and Closing narration from one of the old 1963 'Outer Limits' episodes, narrated by Victor "Vic" Perrin.
@@SoundJudgment Still well done.
Thanks, Laceykat66.
This reminds me of the low budget cheesy science fiction I looked forward to on Saturday afternoons in the day. Thanks Fredflix.
You're welcome, D.G.
FAKE

Very well put together.
Thanks!
Thanks for this. Interesting comparison to Outer Limits, which will always be one of my all time favorite tv show. Love to see more shows like this with todays effects. The writers of a revival will be key. The 1995 version I found quite good. Hope they can pull it off again before I expire.
No one anymore probably has a memory of what life
was like for the cigarette smoker 60 to 70 years ago.
Do any of you out there actually remember that life ? Just about everybody smoked.
And smoking was literally everywhere. And the commercials on TV for all the different brands were
as clever and engaging as Hamm's or Coors or Pabst-Blue-Ribbon beer !
Cigarette machines were outside and inside everywhere. Stacks of them sat next to one another and were dispensed like candy, soda, or anything else.
I remember a pack going up from 25 to 35 cents each. You just popped in
a quarter and dime and pulled that knob out.
Cools or Chesterfield or Viceroys or Camels (without the filter) would fall and slide out.
I'm sure that only a couple of you out of a couple hundred could remember this.
Phone booths and convertible T-Birds, or self service gas stations or even the grilled cheese sandwiches and fries with a vanilla or chocolate malt
at drug stores and the like are also a thing if the past.
Sorry, - it was the the Pall
Mall commercial I guess.
"I Remember, ... I, uh, ... Remember !"😎🍗😎😂🤣.
Love all these awesome old cool stuff , thanks for posting out there very cool !
I recall when those high altitude suits were on the back of comics in the early '60's for $20--more money than I had ever seen.
Excellent mash-up.
Thanks, Kenneth.
Great job. Love the use of the original Outer Limits incidental music.
Thanks.
am from very early '50s those Were THE Very BEST of times. 🙏
I had one of those flight helmet toys as a kid . They were very authentic and realistic.
I watched this as a little boy back then, believe it or not this was hi tech, lol
Never saw this episode before . It was cool how he shrunk into his suit and love these early sci/fi women always beautiful and elegant . These guys were advance flying with plates upside down budget wise but nice concept with force fields and that creature . Also nice that you included those old commercials Fred , the Mustang was nice and Pall Malls both my Uncle rode and smoked . Thanks Fred , put some more Outer Limits in your videos or other vintage shows to boggler our brains .
Next: What if This Island Earth was a Science Fiction Theatre episode?
@@FredFlix Bring it on !
Just shows you need to buy shrink proof clothing
@@FredFlix it was a feature on the show as I remember.
Nothing Better than Black and White Movies
The Pell Mell cig commercial..wow. Amazing writing how the “flavor is friendly”.…but the tobacco companies kept from the people that it was “Body Deadly.”
... "and they are mild." That end phrase is one I remember, from MANY commercials of Pell Mell.
And the seventies I believe I was between 8 and 12 years old there and I enjoyed this program has fascinated me very scary what a mine
Those space suits were better than the new ones.
Whistling meteorites! Lol ya gotta love it! And when they ricochet, making a sound like a bullet ricocheting…..and smoke or gas in space. Very nostalgic, reminds me of when I was a kid. I remember the flame coming out of the rockets, and it turning upwards because heat rises….it looked silly even then. At least this movie doesn’t have that mistake, at least not yet.(I am still in the first 10 minutes)
I am waiting for Svengoolie to interrupt this with his goofy things. I also would like to see this on his show.
Svengoolie is a trip
Quite clever! I enjoyed the inclusion of period commercial advertisements... Thank You.
You're welcome, Trav.
I'm surprised Vic Perrin didn't complain about using his narration. The opening narration for this is from an Outer Limits episode called "The Man Who Was Never Born". Well done film though.
Considering Vic Perrin passed away in 1989, it would have been a true call from The Outer Limits to complain!!!😁😁
Well. the wonderful Dominic Frontiere music was probably a big improvement on the original movie score, and the 'Solarite' reminded me of the creature staring through the aircraft window at William Shatner, in the original Twilight-Zone episode "Terror at 20,000 Feet", minus the fur coat!
That opening used to scare the crap out of me.
My Auntie had an oven from Ammana. On the oven door were those outer limits pattern lines. Their trademark.
I was so traumatized, I couldn't go into my aunties kitchen.
I begged my Mom not to buy that brand. Something weird will come out.
It's A SHAME THAT THE SPECIAL EFFECTS IN THE OUTOR Limits WEREN'T BETTER THAN this 😊
You do realize this is not a real Outer Limits episode, right?
Another Great Job Fred, I love the Outer Limits that's why I made a carrier in the sciences. The OL music is great too! Thanks buddy.
Just saw this. You're welcome, Keyser Soze.
The suspense caused me to urinate in my pants .
I am from the early 1950's and I have never seen this Outer Limits before, Thanks
You realize it's fake, right?
@@FredFlix Yes, But it looked real
I've got you set up as your own channel to watch your great work and now it seems that a lot of your excellent work is no longer there. Can we find it elsewhere? I think you have a real understanding of the feel for this kind of entertainment. Your passion shows! I can't tell you how much I enjoy your demonstration on how music can change the entire feel of a movie/video. You're great at this! Halloween plans this year? Just noticed. The Spacesuits, helmets and backpacks were actually used in the Outer Limits's episode "The Invisable Enemy".
Wow very nice loved watching it, great job Fred.
Appreciate it, Rolf.
JOE FITS RIGHT INTO THIS ROLE
This is great and thanks ... brings back many memories..
You're welcome, Gemma.
Guys I quit smoking in October, a cigarette ad isn’t the most welcoming idea. I occasionally get craving so bad it’s maddening. Agh…
Brilliantly done! Thanks!
You're welcome, William.
I enjoyed your presentation. I'll not say a word =)
Thank you, Douglas.
FANTASTIC PROGRAMMER.
Great editing job.
Thanks, MMM.
I can't believe I watched a cigarette commercial. Oh my! Lol It's been decades since I saw one. Lol Thanks for the laugh.
Glad you enjoyed it, Deborah.
Me realizing I’ve said Pall Mall wrong for 40yrs.🤦♂️
FredFlix I love The Outer Limits, THANK YOU
Isn't it amazing that when Frank shrank, his underwear shrank with him, but not his spacesuit?
They took a hit from a meteor and kept on truckin’. They just don’t build spaceships like they used to.
In episode of Star Trek Trelane either moved a planet or caused people on Enterprise to believe he did.
well done,sir
Thanks, Jab5460.
What a Great Novel idea to serve up a hybrid of this nature. Super strangely and coincidentally, I've been seeing the leading man from the 1961 movie on ota tv in the last couple of weeks from 50s cowboy roles on Tales of Wells Fargo, to some sci Fi stuff, etc. And now he pops up here??? Well if they had A I algorithms running across devices back then, where would we be by now?. The only Rod Sterling super eerie thing is how did all this sync up with 2022? I don't know what the star date is for everyone else, but mine are lined up to the point of being down right ethereal!
Great late Friday night TV when I was in my teens
Thunderpants is really got that ship movin yo
Very well done.
Thanks, BK.
Very good thanks for this treasure...
Can't watch without a Pall Mall...
I was 4 so never saw this until now 2024, 60 years later.
Ps I would of stayed on there with Seka❤
Gaz UK
Great Flick Fred
Thanks, Larry.
Wow Fred Flix! Give me some time to soak in before commenting. Comments of course will be of the utmost positive side. Again God bless you from this time forward. Will be texting here in the near future. I smoked Pall Mall cigarettes back in my mid 20s loved as said very mild plus people always trying to bum cigarettes many don't like unfiltered ones
When I was little my late father smoked unfiltered Camels plus chewing tobacco. Then he switched to Kent with the Micronite filter, which was full of asbestos. So did my mom. This was the middle 1960s too.
I used to stay awake waiting for these on a real black and white 📺 tv.
I used to adjust the vertical and horizontal hold while smoking Pall Mall cigarettes too
Ok Chesterfields too
God I miss the 70s
Humans shouldn’t be taken from their generation
We live in a certain structure and that structure needs to be maintained and explained to spiritually grow and learn about one’s heritage.
This is bullshit world
If fact , they should just end this current situation.
I do not miss B&W TV. A 15 inch TV screen. Antenna on the roof. Oh, well I still have the antenna and no cable TV. Yes, we do have internet and I frequent Screwtube quite often. But I scan for shows like this more than anything else.
EEK.... GIANT CHICKEN NUGGETS ! 🐓 but, the girls were really saucey 🚀 The nugget was attacked by Flaming hot Cheetos.... EPIC !
Thanks Mr.Fred ! 👍🏼
These are great Fred. I love them !!
Thanks, Lee.
1: 59 I'd love a cigarette...im 60 and haven't had one for years.
Addictions never leave you...
Same
best thing we ever did was get cigarette commercials off public television.
Yeah, the tobacco companies don't have to waste all that money for no reason anymore.
Very nice Fred! Improved my day! Thank u!
And you improved mine, Chantelle.
Excellent!
If you ever reedit this for any reason, The Outer Limits' graphics font was Franklin Gothic. (I work in newspapers and we use Frankie.)
I worked in newspapers too. 42 years. But when I made this I was still learning the software. I've since tried to change it but I have been unable to. Oh well...
I enjoyed the commercials as much if not more than ,,,,,,,,, Even a cigarette commercial last time I saw one think🤔 I was in Junior high school ,,,,,
One of the jurists was a young Angelique Pettyjohn. 😃
TRUTH, being the last operative word spoken in the tracks might equivocate what has also been termed as JUSTICE ⚖️♎. Ending commercial ad with the kids MOST DEFINITELY takes me back to those uniforms in Parochial school at exactly that time.
