Horror On TV: One Step Beyond 3.36 “Eyewitness” (dir by John Newland)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

For this year’s horrorthon’s final episode of One Step Beyond, we have the …. final episode of One Step Beyond!

In this, the series’s very last episode, a Boston newspaper reporter in 1883 somehow manages to write a firsthand account of one of the greatest natural disasters in human history, the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa.  Making his accomplishment all the more amazing is that he not only filed the story the day before it happened but he also says that he has no memory of writing it!  What’s going on?  Take one step beyond and find out!

This episode originally aired on July 4th, 1961.

Here’s The Trailer For Presence

Here’s the trailer for Presence, another horror film that could have taken advantage of the scary season but which is instead being released later next year.  Add to that, this is a Steven Soderbergh film.  When Soderbergh’s good, he’s great.  When he’s bad, he’s painfully self-indulgent.

Lucy Liu is cool, though.

 

Here’s The Trailer For The Damned

The trailer for The Damned was dropped by Vertical Entertainment yesterday.

No, not the Visconti film!  This is a movie about ghost ships and sea creatures and fear in the arctic.  The trailer makes it look like the perfect film for the Halloween season so it’s kind of a shame that it’s instead being released in January of 2025.

Here’s the trailer:

Scenes I Love: I Got A Rock!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

This scene is from It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!  It’s a crime that this wonderful and sweet animated special is no longer aired during the holidays.  No wonder the Great Pumpkin hasn’t been seen this year!

What I love about this scene is that you can actually see the rock getting tossed into Charlie Brown’s bag while all of the other trick-or-treaters got candy.  Everyone in the neighborhood knows which ghost is Charlie Brown and they’ve all decided to give him rocks!

Poor Charlie Brown!
