You’ll witness things... Strange. Different. But not to be denied...

Similar to Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond features a different story each episode, all stories claim to be true accounts of the paranormal. I borrowed some DVDs from the library and got to watch a few episodes. Here are my favs so far:
The Trap- a man has strange dreams that recall another man’s accident.
The feminist in me watched Tonight at 12:17 and shook my head at how women were not only treated but generally considered weak hysterical things.
Where are They? The mysterious rock rain in Chico, CA.
The Executioner- about the scout and his dog in the civil war
Persons Unknown- set in México about the Aztec giant ghost that haunts an abandoned convent made me think of Wakanda Forever.
It’s clear production was not equally distributed in each episode because some were just awful: unfocused camerawork, clunky editing, bad writing, poor location choices, etc. My parents said even when they watched the original airings the quality was hit or miss. Unlike TZ, episodes of OSB look as if the film was restored from fire damage. All that aside, they were still fun to watch and I'm looking for more ways to watch.
