Distinct from The Twilight Zone in that the stories were science fiction based only, and not fantasy/ science fiction as was the case with The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits is an anthology of distinct story, each episode is a celebration of the human imagination in which humanity’s exploration of new frontiers in technology, outer space and the human experience reveal our greatest hopes and darkest fears. Stories on The Outer Limits have explored the consequences of such controversial and thought-provoking topics as genetic manipulation, alien visitation and life after death.
