Time-Life "Mysteries of the Unknown" Commercial (1988)

[FlyFishingNaturalist]

HIMYM sent me here too. Coincidence? I think not.

[shibbydood98]

'How I Met Your Mother' nostalgia'd me hard last night and brought me here. These commercials still give me goosebumps!

[Mokkari77]

How I Met Your Mother referenced these tonight!

[samueljh3]

Remember these commercials?!

[tommyticklebum]

I just took a shit before watching this...... coincidence?

[jgdgr81]

This makes me horny

[MrAdrenaline1982]

This used to scare me shit-less when I was little.

[jamiem1]

Damn I remember them playing the hell out of these commercials! Pretty cool that you can find stuff like this now...only on YouTube, lol!

[kamdan2011]

I started watching these commercials, then I looked them up in the library and... THEY WERE LISTED! HOLY SHIT!

[miminegron]

I owned this series. I donated the books to my local library and they told me that they don't take that kind of donation and they most likely threw the collection out. I regret not holding on to them. There were some wonderful pictures in the books.

[mopeymumblemouse]

the nasal sounding fellow at the end does deflate the atmosphere a bit doesn't he

[AdamB9098]

These commercials used to scare the sh*t out of me as a kid, maybe I should sue time life and get rich!...LOL

[sketch2k278]

@AdamB9098 they scared me then and they still scare me now lol

[carchavtube]

@AdamB9098 You too?!

Where I lived, this ad popped up late Saturday nght, early Sunday morning. That voice I heard long after it aired.

[Defender78]

has anyone tried to call the number on the screen? i did and it works - it's a live number of some kind recording -"please stay on the line..."

[alienhddna]

i got bunch of thoes books

[horizon327]

def leppard toured the U.S alot during the 87 and 88. I Did anyone ever ask them if they tried what that guy did at stonehendge?I mention them because they're from england and were the biggest act at the time.What other other english musicians were touring here at the time, and has anyone ever asked them about stonehendge?

[nahzrat]

@horizon327 Why couldn't you just ask anyone who's been to Stonehenge, like, say, me...instead of consulting an 80's metal band. They're just as much an authority on Stonehenge as anyone else...lol. :3p

[axeldtf]

I just saw these books in the library the other day. Definitely interesting, those commercials used to creep me out.

[sarlex85]

these commericials used to send a chill up my spine! My dad ordered the series and we still have the books to this day. I think I'm gonna go re-read one of them to scare myself!

[alphaotakux]

cthulhu, fact or fiction? call now to find out.

[mytzlplk]

One of those commercials opened with a woman dressed in all black saying something like: "Some people think that witches are only in fairly tales...I know that's not true."

The woman was/still is a witch in Salem (don't know her name), but is that commercial posted somewhere? That's the one that scared me most as a kid, haha.

[Dulcimerist]

This commercial freaked me out as a kid!

[xXFocusRecord]

FINALLY! THIS FUCKING COMMERCIAL CAUSED ME MORE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WHEN I WAS 7yo! My mom used to laugh at how scared I would get when it would come on hahahaha! The "TIME" brand name gave it credibility and the music is creepy as all hell.

[PURVASHADASTAR]

I remeber this when I was a kid.

[XSC3]

this one scared me a bit as a kid... not as bad as the "Time Life Books Supernatural" series though!

[beatlejuice72]

A mediocre governor from the state of Texas is somehow nominated to the Republican Party as President in 2000. Somehow he is elected. It is "Dismissed As Chance."

[Firebirrd85]

@beatlejuice72 LMAO

[MoralBankruptcy]

I always wondered why they used a guy with male pattern baldness and big ass sunglasses for the cover of the psychic powers volume.

[msdecember]

good one.. i so remember watching this and sorta being freaked out by this as a child.

[Cyclops4415]

Wow, I thought I was the only one. That commercial was creepy.

[pewter2k]

Oh sheesh I'd forgotten all about this commerical! Thanks for posting it

[willdav713]

This one was first aired in the fall of 1987 not 1988 even though it played until June of 1988. The one after that was done in September 1988 which features the alien sketch art. I have that one on my channel but don't have the full commercial.

[starkid77]

Wow, I used to love this commercial, it was kind of eerie, but it drew me in! Thank you!

[level242]

In Hoboken,New Jersey a school teacher slips on a banana peel just down the street an ice cream palor is serving banana splits...coincidence?

[axeldtf]

@level242

LMAO!! That is hilarious!!

[Lottech96]

Whoa !! now this is what I'm talking about.!

the Psychic Sharp pain/ burn and the Stone Henge Power surge. for TL Commercials, they were awesome. I want to see if Mysteries of the unknown still exists. oh btw Read the Book!

[prlad85]

Oh My God! I remember this! I was about 4 or 5. God so much has changed since then. Clearly this was before the internet because there was no website adress. God, alot has changed since then.

Have a great night, a great day tommorrow, a great night tommorrow, a great week, a great fall and a great month! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

Where did the '80's and '90's go?
