Joseph Stefano 
5 May 1922 - 25 August 2006
The screenwriter of *Psycho *, Marnie
and the TV Series the Outer Limits has passed away.
There is nothing wrong with your television set.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture.
We are controlling transmission.
If we wish to make it louder,
we will bring up the volume.
If we wish to make it softer,
we will tune it to a whisper.
We can reduce the focus to a soft blur,
or sharpen it to crystal clarity.
We will control the horizontal.
We will control the vertical.
For the next hour,
sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear.
You are about to experience the awe and mystery
which reaches from the inner mind to…
The Outer Limits
