      I think one of the funniest satire articles was in National Lampoon magazine. It was about an amusement park. Called ???? Abusement park. It featured a ferris wheel where the seats didn't pivot. So when your seat got to the top, it was completely inverted. Needless to say it had no seatbelts.
      But there was something that made riding it worth it. If you landed in another seat on your way down, your second ride was free. 🤣😆🤣😂

    As electronics technicians, my mates and I always joked about steam radios from this era. We were wrong! They were better than we ever imagined, they provided instantaneous comms all they way from Venus. Something we can't do with current voice comms. No expense spared on making the alien, then. I used to love the original Outer Limits when I was a kid, followed by the original Strar Trek with Bill Shatner, I almost didn't reconise him with his helmet on, but there is no mistaking his voice.

    Cold Hands, Warm Heart" from the second season of ABC's "THE OUTER LIMITS" in Fall 1964, featured a nightmarish creation, courtesy of Project Unlimited, the special effects company that Daystar-Villa Di Stefano Productions used. "The Venusian" being that "Jeff Barton" (William Shatner) encountered, was actually a marionette puppet that was filmed inside of a water tank to create an unearthly effect , but this was also THE scariest creature used in "THE OUTER LIMITS", and like some of the other commenters here, this gave many of us serious nightmares, and way more scarier then The Gremlin that William Shatner encountered in the "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet" episode of CBS's "THE TWILIGHT ZONE" which was a guy with a William Tuttle makeup and a shaggy bear-like bodysuit, which wasn't as scary as the Venusian from "OUTER LIMITS", even though its a puppet! The Project Unlimited people knew their business when creating Aliens for this anthology series, and, although these were low budget special effects, they still did their job rather well! The "star field' effects used in this sequence are a pretty similar effect that "STAR TREK" would use, and the partial galaxy effects/visuals were originally used in the end credits of "PLEASE STAND BY", the unaired TV pilot to "THE OUTER LIMITS". But what was more coincidental about "Cold Hands, Warm Heart", was the storyline which used the term, "Project Vulcan", which William Shatner would be well acquainted with one year after this episode, when Desilu Productions began filming TREK's second TV pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" which James Goldstone directed in 1965, while OUTER LIMITS creator, Leslie Stevens was directing William Shatner in his horror movie, "INCUBUS" (which was theatrically released on October 26. 1966) that was filmed, using the Esperanto language. The Venusian from "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" later became part of the syndication promo that United Artists Television used in their presskits for the series, which shows how seriously spooky that this being is!

  • @michaelschramm1064

    While not one of the better S2 episodes, it is still memorable for this scene and the presence of both Shatner and Malachi Throne, who Shatner would be reunited with a few years later in Star Trek’s “The Menagerie”. Harry Lubin reprises and embellishes a theme used in “One Step Beyond” to chilling effect.
    As a side note, the communications with ground control back on Earth would not be instantaneous-there would be a delay of approximately 40 seconds owing to the distance between Earth and Venus.

    The reason the space alien creature attacks him is that this video did not provide the closed caption that made the space creature outrageously angry. Holy Alien Creature Attacks, Batman! 😱

      @@thefallenslavesusall1857 That is the reason the human astronaut disturbed the alien working in the garden. That infuriated the alien creature and then attacked William Shatner. That influenced him to become Captain Kirk and his seek to destroy alien life forms in the universe.👍🤠👍

    I was hoping for the full episode, but perhaps I was spared from something truly frightening.

    There’s another spacesuit that’s going to need a serious cleaning!

    Future Starfleet captain William Shatner responding to "Vulcan Control" is just so meta.

    That (thing) floating towards him in the clouds of Venus is amazing because now scientist suspect there is life in the clouds of Venus.

    it's missing "for the next hour" before "we will control all that you see and hear", and the las bit of "please stand by".

    Nobody can ham it up like a young William Shatner. I love when he wipes sweat off his brow with the visor closed. 🤪
