contrary to popular opinion . this series be the scary and next to boris karloff . thriller . the accompany music along with john newlands melodramatic matter of fact voice and make for the some of the most frightening television watch for kid ( like myself ) grow up in the 50 and 60 . so much so and i slept with my parent after watch a few episode . rod serlings twilight zone be good . but not scary . even some episode be down right funny . not one of one step beyond have a humorous episode . and i suppose and that why they do not show any re run today and because most people be wimps and can not handle the real scary stuff . like . alien and the thing and predator and the hidden and nite flyer and pitchblack just to name a few . i sure wish i could get my hand on that series .
