No special effects, no CGI, no computer enhancement, no stunts, no swearing not all brilliant actors but makes - just plain simple entertainment with a little bit of education into what might be beyond our senses - I still find these programs great to watch 50 years after they were produced.
Derek Thompson oh please, they’re all over acting. Terrible actors. But the stories are ok so I put up with all the corny music and acting
I disagree! The creepy on-going ooo-oooing is ridiculous! However, the other episodes don’t seem to have this distraction & I do enjoy them!
@@ChildofGodforevr I'm glad I don't have to wait for a master chef to cook my meals or else I'd not get to eat. Putting on shows is for entertainment and it's always art. Wincing and flinching at "bad acting" is a real waste. I promise you, you're missing half the enjoyment you claim to be so sporting as to settle for despite the awful actors, who aren't awful anyway, but exactly what's required for the venue. I just thank God these lively hard-working people are WILLING. (And real human beings, BTW, plenty of them still as much alive as I am, utilizing UA-cam just like you and I do.)
Whoa! I thought that I had seen all of One Step Beyond. Somehow, I missed this one. Great episode. Wouldn't it be great if such talented actors and writers were still with us? Gotta confess, I love black and white shows.
They may be, but their style of acting is insufficiently dramatic, and the writers capable of such work either no longer work in the industry, or have been left behind in the most callous of ways. Human drama has been replaced by other types of more visually exciting entertainment.
The charlaton doctor was clever in the way he turned suspicion away from himself.
Starting watching this on Tubi fews days ago, greatest show thing I have seen, no cussing, violence, great actors , and great storys txs pizza flix for these great shows!!!!
WELL DONE! - I found myself saying aloud as it was portrayed how she "curse ya'all!" through the generations from then til "present"..
Well done indeed.
I love the dramatic emotional shrieks, music to my ears
Almost like Geddy Lee in the 70s
No blood, no gore, no over the top monsters or naked nubile women screaming their lungs out. Just the most creepy music to send a shudder up the spine, together with a tale we're told is on record as true. We're all sitting around a TV, most probably in the dark back in the day.. And the rest is left to the place were all ghosts and fears reside... The imagination! Splendid!! I'd watch this any day over such dross as say, the texas chain saw massacre. If anyone has seen the old black and white film The Haunting will know where I'm coming from.
Memorable musical leitmotif..can't get it out of my mind since I've begun watching these episodes after so many years!
It sort of reminds me of the 'headquarters theme' from Austin Powers--the style and outline of the intervals feel similar.
Used to watch this show as an 8 or 9 year old kid. Creeped me out then......Still does.
I was that age when I first watched The Twilight Zone, but didn't remember this show. Glad I found it here.
That one gave me the chills!! Killer ending!! (pun, intended--ha, ha)😂
Bleeding only makes a person weaker!
I love these old programs. Thank you for the uploads.
Kept taking blood&can't figure out what's killing him🤣🤣
Sounds like today's doctors right? I keep burning them with radiation?
@@benjaminfreyman4273
A different type of "At the Stake..."
Except if you believe all the crap about nuclear radiation, well, you better stand away from the master balcony...you may just happen to...
fall off from self induced cowardice !
@@bignoseharry6561 what are you talking about? I've just had radiation. At least I quit 17 trips into it. No balconies in my life . signed sandy
@@benjaminfreyman4273 If they can't cut you, burn you, or poison you, they dunno what to do...
Thank you for taking me back in time and letting me watch this again.
I wanted to thank you for adding these to youtube. I just found these and never heard of this show. It reminds me a bit of Twilight Zone but better in my humble opinion! I love these shows alot!
Rod Serling had a sense of drama. But One Step Beyond was a trend setter that other would try to immulate.
I can picture the director shouting “ more emoting !”
Love the extremely creepy background music -- that singing!
By Harry Lubin. Most of the music was previously written for "THE LORETTA YOUNG SHOW".
I cannot believe this series is really creeping me out. 😟😟😟
I so miss this era...
The words you utter can be very dangerous, witch or no witch. Take heed from the Bible and guard thy tongue and the words that thou utterest for they contain life and death.
When I was younger, I scoffed at that idea .
As I have aged, I see where my words have come to pass....I have seen how my words affect others around me.
My statement is from Yahweh Yehovah's Holy Word, sacred and unimpeachable wisdom. Words hold power for good Or evil. So what is your question?
@Randay Sunday Oh, ok, now I at least see What you are talking about. You're just ignorant of reality and the truth. Too bad. Maybe someday you will find out.
@Randay Sunday See, you have never been in contact with Holy Spirit. I have. It is very very cool. You just don't cast things like that aside. I hope it happens to you someday.
@Randay Sunday How CAN someone be in contact with something that does not exist? THAT my friend is an excellent question.
The actors are Amazing !
That family deserved everything they got. Everything
Must be a hemophilac ? I saw this a long time ago. This a good black and white and a good series. I also liked the twilight zone and night gallery.
If all of the first born sons are cursed - why is there still men with first born sons? I guess the brothers of the first born?
All of them would have been succeeded by second and third born sons. Around 2009-11, after seeing this episode, I found a real British peer line where the first born son died before the father for about five consecutive generations during the 18th-19th centuries (unfortunately I did not memorize or write down the name). That may have been the inspiration for this episode.
It IS based on a real documented story--i heard it covered in depth a couple years ago on youtube, maybe by Mr. Ballen or Paranormally Listed. I'll see if i can find the family name/info.@@awilson329
I thought the twist would that the son would be been revealed to have been adopted and that the younger brother who was on his way there would've died in a crash.
I had a similar idea, that they were twins, the other having been born minutes earlier, and dying in a plane crash.
Obviously he was a victim of the lie concocted by his wife and the doctor, because if he had been told the truth he wouldn't have been in that room at the moment his father woke up.
I thought he might have had an older brother that died in infancy, that he wasn't told of.....
Or....
That his dad had another son that was kept a secret, for some reason, before this son was born. (A lunatic or something)
I LOVE this series. Thanks so much😉😊
I wonder how many people died from being bled
Lookup on UA-cam the Steve Martin routine about the Barber of York. It's relevant to this, and it's hilarious. One of the funny lines is "Hey. Who's the barber here?"
Or, if the person was seriously ill to begin with, loss of blood would weaken the body to the point where the illness could become fatal, as happened to George Washington.
In most cases it was actually beneficial. Research has shown that those who give blood regularly are less prone to some types of disease. Sometimes it went too far, of course, and others couldn't be cured anyway.
Love this playlist and many others of yours!
😂you think you have less then an hour to live so they decide to put you to sleep? HA! priceless.
I guess if you were screaming at everybody, pacing about waving arms frantically hither and fro, they’d have to do Something to retain their own sanity, eh?
"How can I die, how can I die?" Bad hair day, terminal bad hair..
That doctor had the secret of eternal life. he's at least 400 years old in this show. I guess that shows what lots of practice will do for you.
The actors in this series really chew up the scenery.
Bleeding someone 7 times doesn't help!!
The over-acting in this one is hilarious. Bet the people who made this series, from crew to directors, had a blast watching some world class, serial scenery-chewing from time to time. Such a hoot!
Torin Thatcher, normally a skilled refined actor. Chewing up the scenery like a paper shredder.
At the tender age of 28!😂 the man is 40 at least 😂
The actor was 35 when this was aired. So not 28, but not 40, either. m.imdb.com/name/nm0365999/?ref_=m_ttfcd_cl1
This show, to this day, nothing can compare. And all accounts real?
Thank you for these stories, you are a star!
Invasion of the SHOUTY PEOPLE!!
They've got their historical costumes dates mixed up I'm pretty certain that the judge is wearing a Restoration period wig (17th Century - which they still do whilst the Barristers wear smaller wigs from around the late 18th century)
MF Doom (R.I.P.)
I was expecting him to be illegitimate and his younger brother to die.
I loved his melodramatic outbursts.. totally appropriate for his role I thought. Did think he would cut his wrist on the clock glass.
All you had to do was listen to John Newland at the start to get the chills!
I love John Newland!!
I used to watch this show every afternoon after coming home form school. It was great! Always liked Newland!
WOW This episode is so cool---the black and white is auwsome---no one today can top this stuff --thanks so much---classic
So many people I know won’t ever watch a black and white movie or tv program. They have no idea what they’re missing. Fools. 🙄
They didn't have the money to make this episode in color! What does "auwsome" mean?!
OMG 6:26 look at the size of that beautiful fireplace 😍 that could be an apartment 😂 anyway great story as always 🥰
I'm so happy to find these!! Thank you so much for uploading!!!
I felt like everyone in this "melodrama" went to the William Shatner school of acting. As if death , is the worst thing that could happen to you. LOL
Ah yes the William Shatner school of acting. Mind you, no one can match the talentless talent of our dear old Bill Shatner.
Always good movies.The Oldest I like the best.well acted.
Bleeding for 7 times SMH.. Vampires... how long did it take before they found out they were killing people.
They used leeches and it often worked or they wouldn’t be doing it for hundreds of yrs
He died because he was a drama queen. LOL
So much hysterics and overacting. That bed curtain must be indestructible.lol.
Blimey, I'm glad this mob don't live next door to me.
I take that step everyday
What an awesome fireplace.
I ask the opposite question....."How can I live?" I was stabbed 25 times, lost all of my blood and still came back to life.
Me?! Only 24 times, they could only find any of my blood in the pool! My farts still stink of chlorine,
Angeldust holmes That's horrible. I have nightmares about being stabbed. I would rather be shot I think. I hope you had a full recovery although the emotional scars never go away I would think.
I LOVE JOHN NEWLAND
You put this comment in every episode you watch😂😂He was great though
For a while there I thought, "Hmm, his dad's dead. His mom must have had an affair. Now they'll get news his brother died on the way there."
Yes,....when I was young I knew what my father was going to say when I asked him for money, so I asked my mother.
Everyone please stop HOLLERING I'M NOT DEAF
IM NOT DEAF. haha I hollered it again, and you told us not to holler "I'm not deaf." LOL
Father: Why is my son dying
Physician: Because I drained all his blood

MrSologratia post below and really get confused
Going somewhere and knowing you have bean thear is called Dajavu
Loves these episodes, but did anyone notice the Fathers ring missing in continuity on his left hand as he awoke🤔😊
She turned me into a newt but I got better.
Good one--and rather funny, really...
He's hysterical with fear. Give him a drink!
دى اسمها دعوة المظلوم ، البنت دى علشان اتظلمت ربنا استجاب لها ، دي مش لعنه دي استجابة ربنا للبنت علشان دعوة المظلوم مفيش بينها و بين ربنا حجاب بتوصل علطول .
His chances would be better without that kind of treatment! Doctors...
PizzaFlix guy….you got me thru
Really pretty tune! 💜
Lies killed them imo. And curses were disallowed by the Bible, so obviously they can have effect, if they are aided by whatever wrongdoing, like lieing.
Catherine was murdered a victim of false witnessing, so her curse had bearing if they continued to lie.
Let's see, it was about 1950. The son asks, How Can I Die?
Answer: Eat lunch at Howard Johnson.
No great loss he was such a sniveling coward. Great ending though. If it's all exactly as they showed it's quite astounding. Better to live in command of yourself and die young than live to be old but petrified and afraid of your own shadow. Power of suggestion? Coincidence? Or....something....Beyond?
His wife caused his death by being a bint and causing him to trip off the roof.
@ 19:40..."He's DEAD??"
WOOOOWHOOOOOOOOOOOO 🎆🎊🎉🎇🎆🎊🎉🎇🎆🎊🎉🎇
Don't tell me NO...am your Dr....lol
Excellent performances even by today's standards, Bravo!
Sounds like the Kennedy clan, excepting the sons don't die before the father. Ol' man Kennedys' curse is every oldest male will die and that has happened down to John, Jr. I would love to know what Kennedy did to piss off the person who cursed him.
They died (and took others with them like John Jr.) because they took great, and sometimes foolish, risks. That's how they rose to wealth and power as well as died. No curse needed.
Apparently the story goes that the great great grandfather (Irish) Kennedy badly insulted some Jewish passengers ( he was an anti Semite) on the ship he travelled to America on and they cursed him thus!! Hahahaha.. Probably a load of bullcrap.
The son has been bled seven times; no wonder he’s dying. He hasn’t enough blood in his body to heal whatever had been ailing him.
What if someone's mom was up to tricks on the father
I can only assume that it is the CURSE that is aging him to look closer to 50 than he does to the age of 30....because 28 he most CERTAINLY DOES NOT!!!
Hotep Thomas what the fuck do u think 28 looks like? You’re an idiot. I’ve seen many 28 yr olds with more wrinkles than a 50 yr old. This actor looks 28 and younger. Stupid ppl like u assume he looks older coz he’s wearing a suit. Dumbass
@@ChildofGodforevr They think they will appear young if they slam others looking old. With 28 people can look like they can mix among 10 or 60. All kinds of people.
Young girl ! she at least 35 years old ! young girl it is meant under 20 ..
it's called justice from beyond.
That's not justice. That's vengeance. Killing people who had nothing to do with the original crime is not justice.
@@DNTMEE Every curse is in the power of a new individual to break, to nix it. The family curse sticks only through the generations if they repeat same practices that brought the initial curse to some ancestor you know, so it is always depending on the decisions of a living descendant, that is also Biblical. Like if this story is real, the man deserved much worse for meddling where it's not his right, breaking his son's heart and killing him practically as if with his own hands, and then so wickedly killing another human by way of ridiculing the justice, and also hearing her curse, didn't want to do anything to fix the situation while still having the opportunity, he practically let it fall upon his descendants as well, just didn't care. Just to see her burn, nothing else mattered to him. But each new descendant could act better and break the curse.
These shows were made back when we had grown-ups.
Parents that come between two innocent lovers curse the two to a life of loneliness.
Very good 👍😎
Words " are very power full " that's why? It's called Spelling to cast a Spell ' . ❤️💜❤️🌞🦁
@:05 Yeah, it's called, "Being MARRIED".
22 and he's never married therefore the curse must end with the younger brother?
they really had their lives planned out well.
Karma comes back to you three fold ! So first do no harm . Then do as ye will.
Blessed Be !!!
The creepy background music is way too much!
Quick fact...the actor who played the Earl in the beginning was non other than Torin Thatcher....he played Sokura in the "7th Voyage of Sinbad" and Pendragon in "Jack the Giant Killer "
She sounds Irish as do his father and Jamie but the guards ate dressed as Spanish Conquistadores!
We crave for what we do not have, we want to experience what is out of our grasp. Watching black/white productions thrill us without the trappings of color, graphic effects, and foul language. No wonder we want to escape to a world we remember, or one we have never experienced.
