Outer Limits was hands down the scariest show on tv at the time. It was also at the root of every imaginary monster & nightmare I ever had as a kid.

Some years ago, I met a guy at a Comic-Con and he and I had a fascinating conversation about the OL. Found out he published a fanzine on the OL. Incidentally after I watched this segment I had to walk around a construction area and it was scary as hell. There was a area that was flat with lots of sand that got blown by the winds. When that happened you could not see a thing! I kept looking at the ground scared of Sand Sharks ! Ridiculous I know, but I had an overly- active imagination them.

Easily one of the best of an outstanding series

That shot of spaceship landing looked way advanced for its time.

The first 20 seconds was taken from Prometheus. Then put through a black and white filter to give the impression that it was in the original photoplay. There was no need to do that- even low budgeted, they still did a fantastic job. I know the whole series- I watched it when it was aired.

Well written, well directed and well acted. If only Hollywood would remember how to do it like this…..

So long, Adam West. This episode remains a favorite after fifty-three years.

I remember this episode so well from seeing it as a child. The sand monster scared the living S out of me. I can still hear that roar in my mind!

Almost 60 years later and I still talk about episodes of this show. "Remember the killer tumbleweeds, giant ants ..." ect. I used to go to bed scared after the show, but I still would sneak and watch it if I wasn't allowed to watch it. Perhaps it's time to buy the complete series.

I own the entire series of the original "Outer Limits " on DVD! Love these strange, spooky sci-fi gems!

These episodes like this one, with a young Rod Taylor was more scary then anything they have today, I was 20 yrs . old when I saw this episode. The music, the suspense and the special effects and make up were way ahead of its time. 1963...a wonderful time.

The one with william shatner on the plane with the creature tearing up the wing gave me nightmares for years.

These shows were produced for TV when the first core of astronauts was assembled. At some point, one of them was heard to reply at take off that everything was working and "A-OK". The news people all stared repeating it and as you can hear, it was picked up by he dramatic media as well. Here, they use it a little too much, I think. By the way, we now know it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds for a one way transmission between Earth and Mars. If you expect an answer, the entire exchange would take six minutes there and back. If you're having an emergency you probably wouldn't want to rely on the folks back home for advice. This is still my favorite Sci-Fi TV program.

"We will be in CONSTANT communication AT ALL TIMES"

This episode had me on edge when I was a child

Land on an alien planet, go out alone, do a 2 minute walk and declare no life. What could go wrong? Everything.

"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. It lies between things and ideas. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone." Twilight zones mental state lies between reality and fantasy, or the lowest level of the ocean that light can penetrate. When you come home and your extremely messy teenager has cleaned the house from top to bottom, this is an example of a time when you might feel you are living in the twilight zone.

The Outer Limits 1963-65, was a fantastic series, great actors,music and camera work. And of course the Creatures and Aliens, for the time it was amazing and if you watch it now just try to watch it as if you were in that era it is great and many of the classic episodes would make great modern Sci-Fi films like ... Nightmare/ Architects of Fear/ Zanti Misfits/ Galaxy Being/ Invisible Enemy/ Demon with a Glass Hand/ Sixth Finger/ Fun and Games/ The Man Who Was Never Born/ Inheritors, O.B.I.T/ Hundred Days of the Dragon/ Keeper of the Purple Twilight. All of these shows would make great films. Well excellent job o this video ! And to all Watch the classic Outer Limits !!!!! : )

This was one of most suspenseful episodes on the Outer Limits. I am surprised that the new Outer limits didn't remake this episode.

The Outer Limits and the Twilight zone were the best

Typical...it’s over just as a man yells “I’m coming!”

Because the shows were low-budget, the producers couldn't resort to elaborate sets. Instead, they relied on good writing. With the advent of computer-generated imagery, producers can drown the viewer with inexpensive but elaborate special effects. The quality of the writing has declined -- it's been dumbed down.

"Mars? We told you to drop off those supplies at the Moon Base."

just watched this episode last nite on my dvd player. a very good episode....perhaps one of the top 10 imho. wish I saw this when it first came out....im sure I would have been traumatized more as a kid yet still a good story and effects considering the time the show was made and budget they had. they should have included the boy wonder in the show along with cat woman....like a barbarella meets batman and robin to fight off sand sharks.

The old sci-fi was awesome.

I was between 6 - 7 year of age I remember watching Adam West on the Outer Limitsepisode The Invisible Enemy. Batman was such a big part of my life as child I was Crazy over anything Batman, Lost In Space, and Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea - looking back at these TV shows today they seem campy and silly because they were made for children and though they were made with limited special effects they were good enough for the time and as a little kid living in a simple era during the 1960's it just let the imagination go wild ! Time goes by so fast . THKS for the Great Memories, Super Heroes Are Real Within The Mind Of A Child. { Bruce Wayne RIP.}

I'm 66 presently from and is in USA, Outer Limits has & will always be my Favorite, Tv show. Have watched it since the 60's the inter mind to the Outer Limits, Time Tunnel wasn't a bad show either.

The astronaut had no face shield on his helmet. I guess there’s oxygen on Mars.😂…I ❤the OL. Great stories, music, and acting…and the ‘monsters.’👏😳

Wow! I remember this one frim since I was a kid,,, In fact, I thought about it just the other day... Great effects for the time, a decade or two before Jaws!

the rest of the episode was conficated by the martians

One of my favorite episodes! Thanks for the reminder!

Hey go easy on the outer limits I love this show as a kid,. I often wondered if they really could control my television . Lol

Unfortunately it turns out to be much more difficult to maintain life support that we thought. If you get a tiny cut in the suit it can be deadly, and recently an astronaut almost drowned in his own helmet. These old Outer Limits are still true in how dangerous and strange it is out there.

I keep thinking that this episode of OUTER LIMITS was inspired by that 1959 movie: IT: THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE. Some of the mattes and that smashed up rocketship look so familiar

the soundtrack is awesome

Way to go ....Pops his visor at 2:10 !!

The outer limits was the most frightening show on television at the time and it was aimed at kids! Rod Serling's show was social commentary,this show was basically about terror.

The OL cemented my interest in SF permanently. And it may be a small thing, but notice how every actor speaks naturally and clearly, not whispering or mumbling. You hear every word. Rewatching Prometheus (2012) last week I often couldn't make out what the mumbling actors were saying.

First of all, I loved the Outer Limits in the '60s as a child and later as an adult. But looking back now, it is amazing that for a two-man crew who are the first two land on a different planet, the first stepping out into and exploring an alien environment would be done alone. But then this is '60s TV.

One of the scariest episodes in that production.

Opens helmet visor..."Ah, oxygen!"

This proved Adam West could indeed act.

one of my favorite episodes..loved this as a child.

That spaceship model was pretty grand for the 1960's. The sand shark managed to show up in other episodes as well, most notably Wolf 359 as a dinosaur.

There's nothing like a radio in a good ol' sturdy metal box. (lol)

This used to be on TV in the early 70's when I was just a little kid.

I bought the entire series when the DVD first came out. I believe Blu-ray may may be available now.

one of my all time favorite episodes.

Love the 50’s ejection seats they use in a cockpit without the need to eject. This was one of my favorite episodes. Ooo,Land Shark!1🙀🙀🙀

Lol, I love it when he flips his visor open 🤪

Impressive. You have some serious editing skills. Almost flawless in your Black and white transition between the scenes. Excellent job.

This is one of the episodes I remember seeing as a kid. I've been able to rewatch it recently and the sock puppet monsters haven't gotten any better looking. I still like the episode, though. You can see a lot of influence in Star Trek from some of the Outer Limits episodes.

The wonder of space and the human imagination carried these broadcasts, not CGI special effects.

"The guests" was my favorite episode!

Brilliant!

The spaceship's exterior has (to my eye at least) a *lot* of similarities to both the more recent Firefly and the ship in Prometheus, but *decades* earlier and must have been a real model. No GCI back then!

I love how the astronaut opens his face mask; in real life, he'd be dead in ~ 30 seconds.

i remember when Mattel sold the oxygen tanks for kids, and we all played with them in the 60s

This video is incomplete, with no recognizable links to the second half

Вот совпадение, только что посмотрела последнюю съемку с Марса, и вот фильм о высадке на Марс. Всë не так, ребята, на Марсе. Там всë печально пусто, только земной ровер и беспилотник на его поверхности. Вот прогресс дошëл научно-технический, смотрим напрямую трансляцию с поверхности Марса. Дожили 🙂 до этого 🙂💥🔥

"Be real careful," he says to the guy who has already removed his face shield.

I was watching this late 80's...My Dad rip..showed me Sci Fi & horror 🎬 movies. He was a weird violent guy.

Something I never caught when watching on TV! On Mars the guy exploring opens his helmet's face plate! AND EXPOSES his bare face to the Mars enviroment!!!!

Superior plot and character development- without any elaborate special effects! Early views of unknown actors who would later be stars!🤔😀🙄

Superior film editing....congratulations! More like this please. : )

Was only about 5 or 6 when this was out . Watched it on Friday nights.

I would LOVE to see the original Outer Limits from the 60's. I remember many of the episodes. They may not have had the best props, sets or special effects but the plots were fabulous.

The music was the greatest especially season 1

A favorite episode of mine involved Carroll O'Connor and Barry Morse as aliens studying a human phenomenon called murder.

The best sci-fi show ever

As a little kid I'd only watch this hiding behind a chair with 1 eye peering out.

Back then people thought Mars had a thin but possibly breathable. Turns out it a tiny % Earth's atmospheric pressure and your blood would simply boil away..

Jaws come's to mind. Love this episode.

Opens helmet in the near vacuum of Mars' atmosphere.

I know I’m late. Someone needs to show this to Elon

Impressive space ship and effects

nice work

HEY FRED DID YOU REMEMBER TO BRING THOSE BOXES OF MARS BARS FOR THE INHABITANTS?

Greatest limits episode!!

How can I watch the whole episode of this can I watch it on KZfaq?! I’d love to see what happens!

When will we see more?

Now I am showing my age but I remember this episode.

I still have a partial set of the OL bubblegum cards put out by Topps !I should try and see what they might be worth ? Getting on in years and need to purge some childhood toys .

I was just getting interested in that. I'd forgot it was just a clip.

One of My Favorite Episode.

Ahhhhhhhhh oh it's ok I've seen this several times 😀

This whole episode was advaced for its time!

The twilight zone and night gallery were my favorites.

Hey, remember Fred -- keep your helmet on...

The astronaut wandering around on Mars doesn't have any glass faceplate in his helmet!

saw the second half of this years ago, wish they`d put the whole thing on plus other episodes

gold

A classic!

Robin Williams had a much longer career than I realised.

This is my favorite episode

Did not know there was oxygen on mars

This episode and the Cry of Silence are my two favorites. The number one best of series is Demon with a Glass Hand.

Is this the one where a shark's head or something similar comes out of the ground towards them? It's been years since I last saw these.

I like it

This was Adam West 2 years prior to the Batman TV series. The sand sharks looked very real and scary for that era.
