<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond</span><!--underline--></span><!--bold--> 1959-1961<br />
One Step Beyond premiered nine months before The Twilight Zone, and was also known as Alcoa Presents: One Step Beyond. John Newland introduces reported cases of supernatural phenomena, whose poetry is revealed in magnificent and almost brutally compressed dramatizations. All episodes are directed by Newland himself, a dab hand whose trademark is subtle, balletic camera work.<br />

We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown ... to take that One Step ... Beyond."</span><!--italic--></span><!--bold--><br />
