The Outer Limits Anniversary
Today is the anniversary of the debut of The Outer Limits in 1963. This was part of a great collection of television programs that focused on tales of the fantastic, and although The Outer Limits did not capture my imagination with the intensity that The Twilight Zone did, I still remember getting scared to death as a kid watching the insect-like invaders attacking humans in the episode “The Zanti Misfits.” The complete original series can be ordered in a box set on DVD in the TheoFantastique store in the DVD category, as well as an MP3 of the show’s opening theme song.
In November check back at TheoFantastique for a multiple part installment that explores the fiftieth anniversary of The Twilight Zone episode “The Eye of the Beholder” through guest contributor Arlen Schumer.
