One of the best intro ever. Always gave me chills and I was always hooked to the TV when it was on. I remember that The Outer Limits was followed by The X Files. Best fridays ever. :)
Were these shows on the same channel, or are we a similar age with similar dads? Because I really don't remember Outer Limits being on a cable network, I feel like it was on HBO or something, but I do remember watching X-Files directly after it every time. I feel like it was my dad switching channels though. I'll ask him but I think honestly these were not on the same channel lol.
i was scared as hell on the couch and would be too scared to watch that intro without muting or changing channel or leaving the room if i was alone and it was dark. i was little when this came out, gonna nostalgia watch again someday
This was seriously one of the scariest things I've ever seen as a child! I like this show but there are times where I couldn't even get past the intro I got so scared.
This show never scared me as a child the show that freaked me out was " Unsolved Mysteries" the intro that show still scared me to this day and I'm almost 34🤦🤦
@The Lawnmower Ix. 091 no it doesn't scare me at all I actually get super super excited when I know it's on I love Outer Limits. I've always loved the Intro I love the music. As to where Unsolved Mysteries the intro always scared me and Robert Stacks voice in the beginning and when the music first starts always scared me as a child. And Outer Limits never did.
@The Lawnmower Ix. 091 nooope I don't think it's scary one bit. Dude I was desensitized as a child when it came to horror anything thanks to my father. I grew up watching Freddy Kruger n Jason n Child's Play.
This intro and show traumatized me as a child. My Dad loved this show and always watched it and literally ALWAYS fell asleep and my brother and I had to watch it scared shitless by ourselves. (We were too curious about every episode and always regretted not changing the channel by the end hahaha)
The intro by itself is devastatingly effective. But hearing it over the end credits after the climax of a terrifying episode, often times in the dark on a late syndicated airing, while you think about what you just witnessed is the closest think to pure terror I have ever experienced.
I understand you and I wish they would but sadly you know what the world is like now, you could never get things like this on television without some kind of outcry, I think people have been complaining about Little Britain and Come fly with me sadly.
+LicoriceLain it's a Jerry Uelsmann image. He is (was?) an innovative photographer who had a darkroom at home and would put two images together in artful ways on the same piece of photo paper. like the tree roots and the house. He has many other surreal yet beautiful images he's created; you should check him out.
I liked the ep with Kevin Nealon where that Military guy got stuck in an infinite time loop where he is bracing himself for an explosion, the idea of being stuck in a state like that for infinity creeped me out, a fate worse then hell.
There was too I remember really well that standout 1 the people that was stuck in a house and could never leave and then when one left the youngest girl she just turned into a really old person and then turned to dust when she finally escaped. And the other one was alien dieting have this force shield that protected him and this guy befriended him but then ended up killing him to get his shield and then he activated it but you couldn't turn off and then he was trapped inside it and then the alien was still alive and appeared and reached inside a little opening and turn the force shield off and then he and the score should disappeared but the guy was still trapped
Delia Tijerino It's also one of the best opening sequences of all time. That monologue is genius. It takes the original monologue from the sixties and makes more immediate and memorable.
Having understood how you make music scary, I have to say, 0:25 has everything. The deep chords are close together and ascending slowly, the middle notes are disharmonious and quiet and the high notes are the most disharmonious and shrill like a scream. It's brilliant. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Specifically, it’s driven by the key change in the strings at 0:26 imparting the feeling of escalating fear and anxiety. We think we have a handle on the mood of a song in the first 10 seconds. But moments like that make the emotional bottom drop out.
@@excrono I'm not sure I would call that a key change, because this piece makes no attempt to establish a key outside of the final measure, but you are right that the tonality shift is part of that drama.
I have vague memories of catching marathons of this and Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction while I was home sick from school and channel surfing for something interesting. That was the beginning of my love for SciFi and horror anthology shows.
This is what SCI-FI is really about. Not what it is lately becoming. I really wish more current shows and movies would explore the myriad of contemplative issues that the future has already, and will continue to bring to us.
I love this '90s version of THE OUTER LIMITS; after all, it's the one with which I grew up. I remember being chilled by this intro as a kid! It does feel like it's trying a little too hard compared to the stark simplicity of the '60s show's intro, but it still carries some power. :)
The more I analyze this intro... the more it makes me think, that this is what saved me from the mass formation psychosis of 2020-202x... I somehow understood the message when I was a wee lad, and I started to keep a very VERY watchful eye on all that is deemed "reality". It broke me out of the matrix. "We can delude you with a 1000 channels, or expand a single image to crystal clarity... and beyond. We can shape your vision to ANYTHING our imagination can conceive... We will control all that you see and hear." What a powerful message.
Do you control the narrative of your life or does the controller? A hyper relevant message in 2023. Think for yourself and come to you own conclusions. Even if they put you in harms way. True freedom requires risk. Resist!
this intro was the freakiest part of the entire show, I mean the music creeped out as a kid, and still mangages to make the hairs on my neck stand up....I love it
this scared me as a kid. the intro still scares the hell out of me as an adult - it summarizes people that can't think for themselves and the TV is god
The house with the roots under it was my phone background for years lol. Always something strange about that image. Its a grey sky, lonely abandoned house on a hill and then bleeding into the ground
Everytime I watch this intro, I get chills upon chills. I remember in my early years of high school tryin' to stay up crazy early in the morning to watch episodes of this on NBC. Then it moved to Sci-Fi channel. It actually got me hip to the older black & white episodes. That intro/outro narrator voice always was the illest in the way he makes the episodes like an event each time, @ the same time sounding like the epitome of impending doom. Even making lighthearted moments cautionary.
@user-ub3wk8ov1u Oh trust when I tell ya, it was for me. It was never advertised, I guess because of the 2AM-ish time slot. I found out about it on vacation with the fam, and I was glued ever since. Nowadays, it's on Amazon Prime.
Good series The Outer Limits. It was a good 'What if?' scenario. I thought it be good to make a note of just the introduction narrations, and conclusion narrations of each episode. And, then put that together, as a transcribe collection. And, one not necessarily having watched the episodes first.
I remember an episode where a guy had some wishes and he squandered the first wishes. There was a Nuclear War and he used his last wish to freeze time to stop the attack. He went outside and the whole world was frozen in time even a nuclear missile a few feet away from hitting the ground frozen in time and the man realised he was in a frozen world on the brink of total destruction and he had no more wishes to fix the problem. Saw lots of episodes of this show it was really good really made you think for days after each episode. I also remember the Native American carving and the toy soldiers that came to life.
And then the reprise of the main theme rolls on the end credits, while you sit there in silence, thinking critically about that ending. Like: “Too bad his final wish wasn’t to change the laws of physics on earth to make nuclear fission impossible.” That would be my very first wish if I was given that opportunity. For me that is when this theme is most effective, when you react to the art and your beliefs and values are challenged. That is its intent and purpose, I don’t feel the Outer Limits is pure entertainment.
I wish this show had not been cancelled so abruptly. It was well written, directed and high minded. Some of the producers went on and did some other great TV, like Deep Space Nine.
Love this intro definitely one of the best they gotta bring this show back awesome short stories damn miss this show Damn good show deserves to come back we the fans deserve for it to have it back on tv
I remember this used to (and still does) creep the fuck out of me when I was a kid. It was this show, unsolved mysteries, and the X-files. They all had those creepy intros that would have me scared and give me nightmares. I still to this day skip the intro part every time I watch the x-files...but that was good TV back then
This intro always scared the hell out of me as a kid, to say nothing of the show itself. I used to switch to the news or something completely mundane afterward, because I was too scared to go to bed right afterwards.
Tales from the Darkside and The Outer Limits were my favorite shows on SciFi. It may sound wierd but one of my reasons for loving these shows was because they didn't have a happy ending. I was going off the fact that life does not always give you a happy ending.
@@samanthakittle Bill Cipher is not enough eerie and mysterious and spiritual for the kind of this serie. He too loud, noisy, vulgar, childish, to fit in.
A Gainesville Florida legend has passed on. I remember seeing an art exhibit at UF school of fine arts and being awe inspired. Then some years later watching a late night spooky TV show called The Outer Limits I was captivated by the images in the opening credits. It dawned on me I had seen them before but couldn’t pinpoint it. It was the days before internet. The 80’s . I went to Iris book store shortly after and found his book, reading the bio I was delighted to discover he was a Gainesville resident. In that same section, I found photography books by another artist Sally Mann who also captivated me with so many artful Black and Whites.. she is still one of my favorites. Jerry’s work was incredible and 100% analog old school. There was no photoshop, no internet, no digital photography. It was old school film, a dark room, and some superimposed images with masterful use of light. Jerry’s photos are used in this opening sequence. The large cupped hands and the house with roots. RIP Jerry, I’m sorry you had to leave us
i always remember the episode where this one scientist i think his wife was sick dying, so he invented some nanobots that repair lost or ill tisue, and one night he cut himself and they entered his body and instead just healing him they improved him, he grew claws, thorns, eyes on his back and some other stuff, turned him into a monster actualy
There was 1 episode which made me sad. Of a scientist who fell in love with a cyborg that his laboratory created. And he decided to deactivate her because he programmed her to be just like a regular woman. But in the end when she was going to die she told him... I'm scared and that shocked him because he never thought that she can feel as humans do..whatever maybe I'm being melodramatic
sounds similar to the original TZ episode that had the guy on Mars, and had to live there with a robot the supply ship dropped off, and he ended up falling in love with her. lol
Unsolved Mysteries was awesome too! BTW anyone else see the Illuminati eye at about :18 seconds and at :41 on the left? Not that I'm a conspiracy nut but couldn't help notice.
as a kid i always had to change the channel away from the openings to this and the x-files, even though i liked the shows. i would watch commercials instead lmao. i'd still watch the eps but the openings freaked me out
My mom used to watch this show. I would watch it with her. And when the intro played, I didn't get scared one bit. Oh and when I used to watch it, I meant when I was 8
When I was little, my dad always fell asleep with the tv on and every time I woke up at night, this would be playing. After the show ended, the tv would sign off. Nothing but static if I didn't change the channel or turn the tv off. 0_o
I watched this series in my early teens. This series was one of the forces that shaped me as a person. Not everything was pleasant and good... but knowledge has a very high price.
Oh gosh, so much nostalgia, i remember how i used to sneak out of my mums room to go watch this in the middle of the night in my brothers room (he worked night shifts then), he had the whole series recorded on video tapes, such lovely memories :D
I randomly woke up at 5:30 in the morning and remember this intro from when I was a kid. Shouldn't there be a line at the end that says, "please stand by"?
As a big twilight zone fan I got to say that the 60s version of the intro feels more scary then this one but than again the 60s one feels like the big red took over your TV set and your about to get invaded and not more scary modern.
you know your a 90's baby when you remember being scared shitless from this lol
Clayton Sheppard. dont remember geting scared of it born 1989 but it was my favorite show as a kid rewaching it now
Clayton Sheppard yess
damn, you guys are young
Clayton Sheppard hell yeaaa I’m 24!
90's kid here. Born in 83.
Great show. The 90s were a golden age for sci fi shows. The Outer Limits, Star Trek, The X Files, Earth 2, Farescape, Stargate SG1 and more.
Twilight zone
Babylon 5 but surely too many good shows were there to count all of it but hopefully some will be reincarnated to a more modern but loyal adaptation.
Shiiit I thought this show was real when i was a kid
Twin Peaks
and cant forget sliders
One of the best intro ever. Always gave me chills and I was always hooked to the TV when it was on. I remember that The Outer Limits was followed by The X Files. Best fridays ever. :)

2023 is an episode of the Outer Limits.
I love the 90s.

@@PBBeezyee0 I couldn't get into it. I like the 90s version.

I swear this theme scared me shitless as a kid
They need to bring this show back.
Hell yes
Word!
I understand you and I wish they would but sadly you know what the world is like now, you could never get things like this on television without some kind of outcry, I think people have been complaining about Little Britain and Come fly with me sadly.
Black Mirror
They have similar shows today. The Outer Limits is by far the best.
Black Mirror, love death and robots.
Always get goosebumps when i hear this brilliant show :)
Me too.
The image of the rooted house is still one of the creepiest things I have ever seen.

In 2023 this is my life, everyday. I remember when life was sane and innocent.

This show terrified me as a kid; I’m an adult now… and this intro STILL gives me the shrieking gargoyles! 🥶
Being an adult is as scary as this show.
I feel like this was one of the last true 'Sci-Fi' shows. It all became much more drama-orientated after this for the sake of viewership.
This is still one of the best and most awe-inspiring intros of any TV show ever.
I have vague memories of catching marathons of this and Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction while I was home sick from school and channel surfing for something interesting. That was the beginning of my love for SciFi and horror anthology shows.

the same! cheers to the similar mind ;) always

Oh man I remember I used to torture myself by watching this before I slept as a kid lol good show.
yeah it was usually late night u could watch porn or thia...i always choose this
I remember when this would come on after Unsolved Mysteries. So eerie!
Good series The Outer Limits. It was a good 'What if?' scenario. I thought it be good to make a note of just the introduction narrations, and conclusion narrations of each episode. And, then put that together, as a transcribe collection. And, one not necessarily having watched the episodes first.
The rooted house feels like something from the collective unconscious.
I remember an episode where a guy had some wishes and he squandered the first wishes. There was a Nuclear War and he used his last wish to freeze time to stop the attack. He went outside and the whole world was frozen in time even a nuclear missile a few feet away from hitting the ground frozen in time and the man realised he was in a frozen world on the brink of total destruction and he had no more wishes to fix the problem.

There is no shadow government or aliens, just unlimited terror.
Nice job by Kevin Conway as "The Control Voice" if I had to choose, I'd still pick the late Vic Perrin's work. Good post thank you!
I JUST found out Conway was the narrator. I know him from 2 episodes of JAG. I remember watching the series here and there when he was the narrator.

Bro this is still the scariest intro I've ever seen to date
imagine when you got only tv an stereo tapes,no internet.. this was the real deal ....
This is the one that comes to mind when I think of this show
Same Here
back when tv was good
still is
Probably one of the coolest tv-serie intros I have every seen.

They all had those creepy intros that would have me scared and give me nightmares. I still to this day skip the intro part every time I watch the x-files...but that was good TV back then
What this is missing which always cracked me up is the "Please stand by" being said right after that intro because the commercials would start lol
I don't know which theme song was more terrifying
a) The Outer Limits
b)Tales From the Crypt
c) Unsolved Mysteries.
Fuck it, they were all scary.
I remembering watching this late night. And it played on one of the few channels we had. We were so lucky to experience this shit back then:)
This intro always scared the hell out of me as a kid, to say nothing of the show itself. I used to switch to the news or something completely mundane afterward, because I was too scared to go to bed right afterwards.
In 2023, switching to the news can be like switching back to this show.
This brings back so many memories of 90’s tv. It was definitely a different time.

i always remember the episode where this one scientist i think his wife was sick dying, so he invented some nanobots that repair lost or ill tisue, and one night he cut himself and they entered his body and instead just healing him they improved him, he grew claws, thorns, eyes on his back and some other stuff, turned him into a monster actualy
That gave me nightmares as a kid. Forgot the title or episode number for that one.
As i recall the nanobots in his body thought his inability to breathe underwater was a flaw so they gave him gills lol
chris battson then it wasnt his wife it was him ho was dying of cancer and he wasnt the scientist it was this other guy
Good episode! Creepy AF! That's why I love sci-fi shows like this, they often teach a lesson or a warning.
"New Breed" is probably their best episode. Classic cautionary tale that never lets up on the suspense.
I loved watching these shows as a kid. Tales from the crypt, X-Files are some of my other favorites. 😊
holy shitballs this scared me so much as a kid, and still does, i have chills
Haha me too lol I love it!
it scared me as a kid, but now that im older and i watch it again, i got a chill up my spine
Always loved this series, some of the greatest storylines of all time.
There was 1 episode which made me sad. Of a scientist who fell in love with a cyborg that his laboratory created. And he decided to deactivate her because he programmed her to be just like a regular woman. But in the end when she was going to die she told him... I'm scared and that shocked him because he never thought that she can feel as humans do..whatever maybe I'm being melodramatic
I remember that episode
+EL Donjuan Another HAS That guy will turn off the projectors who lived with him , which is very similar
sounds similar to the original TZ episode that had the guy on Mars, and had to live there with a robot the supply ship dropped off, and he ended up falling in love with her. lol
That episode was called "Valerie". I really loved it too and it made me sad at the end too.
Doutor Jesus Cristo and she get shot in the end
"Please stand by...."
The theme song for 2020
In 2023 I’m living an episode of this show. I am not in control.
This and the Twilight Zone literally MADE my childhood!
Two best shows of all time
WE NEED REMASTER 2018 edition
best tv intro of all time
This and the X-Files theme scare the crap out of me.
Unsolved Mysteries was awesome too!
BTW anyone else see the Illuminati eye at about :18 seconds and at :41 on the left? Not that I'm a conspiracy nut but couldn't help notice.
Monday nights on BBC2?
I just done a calculus lecture and not having thought of this for 20 years it popped in to my head
as a kid i always had to change the channel away from the openings to this and the x-files, even though i liked the shows. i would watch commercials instead lmao. i'd still watch the eps but the openings freaked me out
this... still... Scares... The SHIT OUT OF ME!
scared the hell out of me as a kid
My mom used to watch this show. I would watch it with her. And when the intro played, I didn't get scared one bit. Oh and when I used to watch it, I meant when I was 8
When I was little, my dad always fell asleep with the tv on and every time I woke up at night, this would be playing. After the show ended, the tv would sign off. Nothing but static if I didn't change the channel or turn the tv off. 0_o
DefiantBoris make it in to one
DefiantBoris SCP?
DefiantBoris Gotcha. Thanks.
I watched this series in my early teens. This series was one of the forces that shaped me as a person. Not everything was pleasant and good... but knowledge has a very high price.
Wow. Is that music dramatic enough? Damn
Oh gosh, so much nostalgia, i remember how i used to sneak out of my mums room to go watch this in the middle of the night in my brothers room (he worked night shifts then), he had the whole series recorded on video tapes, such lovely memories :D
I randomly woke up at 5:30 in the morning and remember this intro from when I was a kid. Shouldn't there be a line at the end that says, "please stand by"?
Maybe they play that part when a commercial was going to play after the intro
So much the 1990's television series!
Whats the name of the song in the background?
Probably "the outer limits intro"
It's the outer limits.
I'll never get tired of watching this.
How many of you thought that there was something wrong with your television when you saw the start of this intro?
The Outer limits ,Tales from the Crypt,Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction and X-Files were awesome Sci-Fi show.
Damn the 90s was great
whats the name of the music used in the background?
The Outer limits lol
@@Backintoons8515 😂😂😂
Darude - Sandstorm
@@Zelduh64 are you kidding?
@@blackriderx0991 No
The intro, until this day, still gives me chills. The show always gives a moral lesson at the end.
Should be played at the start of every Fox News.
+The Forlorn King of Shade Empire -Good one! Either that or "if I only had a brain" from the Wizard of OZ.
+The Forlorn King of Shade Empire LMAO!
SO CLEVER. Always bringing politics into everything.
Why? Its not CNN... That shit fake news is really scary, and whats worse is people actually believe it!
Or ABC.
As a big twilight zone fan I got to say that the 60s version of the intro feels more scary then this one but than again the 60s one feels like the big red took over your TV set and your about to get invaded and not more scary modern.
Were the people who designed this intro on acid or were they high off their asses cause this intro is more scary then show
