Using an Orwellian theme of taking over your television, the earliest version of the narration was: A similar but shorter monologue caps each episode: Later episodes used one of two shortened versions of the introduction. The first few episodes began simply with the title screen followed by the narration and no cold open or preview clip. The Control Voice was performed by actor Vic Perrin.

Production

''The Outer Limits'' was originally broadcast on the American television network ABC (1963–65). 49 episodes were produced. It was one of many series influenced by ''

'' and '' Science Fiction Theatre'', though it ultimately proved influential in its own right. In the unaired pilot, it was called ''Please Stand By'', but ABC rejected that title. Series creator Leslie Stevens retitled it ''The Outer Limits''. With a few changes, the pilot aired as the premiere episode, " The Galaxy Being". Writers included creator Stevens and Joseph Stefano (screenwriter of the film '' Psycho''), who was the Season 1 producer and creative guiding force, and who wrote more of the series' episodes than anyone. Future Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Towne (''

. The latter won a Writers' Guild Award. Writer Joseph Stefano was recruited in a late night phone call from Leslie Stevens; the two men had known each other for years. Stevens met him with composer/producer Dominic Frontiere and pitched the series to him asking him to come on as a writer and producer. Stefano, who had never produced before, felt reassured by Associate Producer Robert Justman to support him as Justman had experience in TV. Season 1 combined science fiction and horror, while Season 2 was more focused on ' hard science fiction' stories, dropping the recurring "scary monster" motif of Season 1. Each episode in Season 1 was to have a monster or creature as a critical part of the story line in a villain of the week format. Season 1 writer and producer Joseph Stefano believed this element was necessary to provide fear, suspense, or at least a center for plot development. This kind of story element became known as "the bear". This device was, however, mostly dropped in Season 2 after Stefano left. Two Season 1 episodes without a "bear" are " The Forms of Things Unknown" and " Controlled Experiment", the first of which was shot in a dual format as science fiction for ''The Outer Limits'' and as a

Special effects

Season 1's monsters and creatures, and most props, were developed by a loose-knit group under the name Project Unlimited, whose members included Wah Chang, Gene Warren and Jim Danforth. Makeup effects were by Fred B. Phillips and John Chambers.

Characters and models

Many of the creatures that appeared in ''Outer Limits'' episodes were sold as models and action figures in the 1990s and 2000s. Limited-editions model kits, to be assembled and painted by the purchaser, were issued by Dimensional Designs. A smaller set of out-of-the-box action figures were sold in larger quantity by Sideshow Toys. The former produced a model kit of The Megasoid from "
