  • I read somewhere that this piece was written originally for an episode of the Loretta Young Show but was later used for One Step Beyond. How appropriate and hauntingly beautiful it is.

  • Always there in the depths of my soul only to surface when triggered by the turmoil, pain, and torture of life.

  • Scary? This was beautiful! I was very pleasently surprised.

  • Still gives me chills.

  • Dieses Thema unter anderem avents eröffnen Ihnen eine Welt für mich, dass, obwohl 40 Jahre Studie hat nicht geschmäht, und doch in mir, es scheint etwas Aufruf einer perpose ein derection Othere Sache, die passieren, haben sich etwas Gutes am Ende des Tunnels haben von Dunkelheit und Angst dieser rief die beging aber was das Unbekannte aus einem Erbe

  • @inzen1909 soon my journey end and i will know just as i am known so wie ich bin bekannt

  • Just beautiful. I plan on picking this up pretty soon.

  • i have the CD of the soundtrack this music is from,i bought it several years ago from a mail order house and i still enjoy listening to it.very spooky music indeed.

  • great true documented (out of this world) stories. Everything is ... NOT AS IT SEEMS !!!

  • Lubin recorded this in Germany, conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker. This isn't the actual series' theme {"Fear" is}, but this is probably Lubin's most famous cue- every time this was heard on "ONE STEP BEYOND", it meant something supernatural [and unexplainable] was happening.

  • This music sounds similar to one of John Williams' themes in Close Encounters. That haunted theme that would come in and out. The scene where Dryfuss and the Jillian character see the Devil's Tower on television. I guess even a master like John Williams gets inspiration from others. Has anybody else noticed this eerie similarity?

  • One can listen to all of the Lubin "One Step Beyond" cues at Play Production Music, but cannot download them.

  • this was the outro to Outer Limits season 2

  • It was used as the closing theme to Outer Limits season 2.

  • I have this LP. The incomparable; Harry Lubin Orchestra. Back when Woolworth was King! When a dime would get you a double scoop at Thrifty Drug, and chrome would glisten from our sissy bars.

    That's what I remember.

  • Unlike the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits, many if not most of the plots on OSB were based upon "news of the weird" stories from actual newspaper articles and books that collected what were then called "strange but true" events. Nowadays we use the more pleasant term of "anomalies," but such tales are still no less spooky. Hence the music used for OSB had to be equally spooky... and it sure was.

  • Scariest music I ever heard' but I love it! I used to cover my head when I watched the show and this music came on!

  • This is not the closing theme.

  • I thank you. One of my most favorite songs of all time.

    My first time hearing it in Stereo.

    It still works.

    Peace & Good Vibes!

  • That music always to scare me.

  • As I've previously mentioned, Lubin originally composed this cue for an April 1955 episode of "THE LORETTA YOUNG SHOW", "Feeling No Pain", when Loretta's character falls into a dream sequence, while in a dentist's chair...Lubin reused several cues from her series for "ONE STEP BEYOND" as well.

  • I'm 32 and I think this is just great music, amazing and just takes you back to the time.

  • q interesante q en la caratula del disco saca una figura como spiral luego colores ¿ no sera un remolino el inicio del chacra, el cual se relaciona con la flor de la vida EL INICIO DE LO DESCONOCIDO Y LA MARAVILLA

  • q bella musica realmente son mas de 40 años, tien un estilo como la musica de tchaykoski

  • Looks like it's still available from Barnes & Noble.

  • I'm glad to hear it's still available after nearly half century!

  • Reminds me of Debussy.

  • No doubt Debussy was the main influence here but I also detect a bit of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

  • I find it quite serene in a dream-sequency sorta way! Not creepy at all! : 0

  • Weirdo!

  • This music is haunting, yet strangely haunting.

  • Yeah, but would you say it was haunting?

  • No. I'd say it was more like...haunting.

  • Yet, haunting.

  • I suspect you know that this score is available on CD and has been since the late 90s. I wish they had included some other cues from the show that were also very creepy and which were left off this tv soundtrack. I thought Harry Lubin's music for the second season of The Outer Limits was also very creepy. "Weird," of the two basic OSB themes is easily the creepiest, and yes, strangely beautiful. Wish someone would bring out the complete DVD.

  • The DVD set series is already released.

  • The spookest music ever written!

  • I do believe you are right. Both "Fear" and "Weird" are two of the creepiest sounding music I've ever heard.

  • I can remember when my son was born,

    I got up at 3 in the morning to feed him & was watching OSB while I was giving him a bottle. This music scared me to the point I could not go back to sleep.

    It kept repeating in my mind.

  • You deserve a 5 star rating that I'm gonna give you for posting the original theme song. I watched the series as a kid, thought even back then that the music was eerie, sad, but so beautiful. Thanks again.

  • Thanks for posting this!

    It's certainly a nice piece- and the way it was used in the show, I cannot imagine anything more appropriate. Just perfect.

    Someone left a comment on one of the OSB posts that this music made the hair stand up on the back of their neck. Ditto.

    This little gem spooked me when I was 6, and I'm happy to say, nearly 50 years down the road, it still does!

    A chill a minute. In Stereo, no less! Powerful stuff.

  • The same here! It creeped me out, both the opening and closing themes just made my skin crawl. I had to leave the room during those times of the show if one of my parents wasn't in the room with me.

    It still sends a chill up my spine to this day, but I love it. As a matter of fact the entire album is very good but the other songs aren't scary.

  • You are right ! The score is amazing.

  • @VinylNostalgia I used to have every light on in the house when this came on TV. Wait a minute...I have all the lights on now. Some things never change.

  • @H2R504 - LOL :–D
