I hope there's a lot more episodes than what's listed.
I picked up a box-set of 50 episodes of the very same ones in a bargin bin at Shopko for $5.00, in good quality too.
Your asking $537.00. Good-luck.
WOW!!! It's a cool series but, not that cool.

Each of these 12 dvd's contains 4 episodes (or approximately 100 minutes)
I was rather disappointed by the absence of the titles to each story, although they did a nice short summary of each.
I also have the 4 dvd set which contains a total of 20 shows (5 per dvd)..Many of those are included on this set. The visual quality is the same as the 4 dvd set.
There were a total of 95 episodes....this set has 48....So where are the other 47 shows?????

The prints of this show were not preserved well, so no DVDs of them will look as good as buyers would hope, but the DVDs in this box set look as good as any I've seen. The package is appealing, too.

I own several "classic era" TV DVD boxed sets, so I am accustomed to accepting less than perfect sound and video quality in order to have collections of high-quality drama and comedy from the past. Some have called this show a forerunner of "The Twilight Zone", but that is not exactly true. Each segment in this series was based on paranormal events or situations that defied logical explanation. In that sense, this show was much more similar in style to "The X-Files", except without the long story arcs. "The Twilight Zone" episodes, on the other hand, were pure fiction, often written to explore some current social issue that, due to the conventions of the times, would have been impossible to talk about in a straightforward manner without igniting a controversy.
I first saw this series in the 1980's when it was running on the then-new "Nick at Nite", and I was fascinated by it. When this DVD set came out, I jumped at the opportunity. This collection has about half of the 97 episodes that were filmed, and that is probably all that is in existence due to the expired copyright and the neglect the original footage probably fell into. The one episode I really missed seeing in the set was "Father Image". This is one of the episodes I saw on "Nick at Nite" years ago, and concerned a man whose father has left him some property, including an old boarded-up burlesque house. Nobody can understand why he never sold the place, until an accident causes the son to see images from his dead father's life that include his murder of a girl he was having an affair with and the disposal of her body in the burlesque house, which he closed shortly after the murder and left abandoned. The son finds the body, and would have some explaining to do to the police if it was not obvious that the girl had died years before the son was born. The episode dealt with the issue of children inheriting memories from their parents. I just mention this episode as an example, since I don't want to give away anything from the episodes that are actually in this boxed set.
You'll notice lots of guest appearances by not-yet famous stars such as Elizabeth Montgomery, Charles Bronson, Jack Lord, Warren Beatty, and Pernell Roberts. I highly recommend it.

I was a young kid when this series debuted on A.B.C in 1959. I remember the nights when my father used to watch these shows and I huddled close to him because they scared me so much. There was an episode that I vaguely remember that I had nightmares about. It was the one with the twin sisters where one of them died in a house fire while the other
twin was found by her boyfriend in bed next to him with her body severely charred (anyone for spontanious human combustion?) Anyway I would like anyone to tell me what the name of this episode was. To go even one better, I have had one of those "One Step Beyond" things happen to me and believe me it was very scary to say the least! Since that event I am a true believer in the paranormal. The "One Step Beyond" series is well
worth owning despite the "less than perfect" video quality"
