Time serves as the ultimate judgment upon the impact and power of ones art.

Now nearly 60 years later people are beginning to realise the philosophical

and poetic depth within the writings of Joseph Stefano. Stefano was the man

who adapted Robert Bloch's `novel into the screen play that became Alfred Hitchcock's

"Psycho". More importantly he was the unsung genius behind the bulk of the episodes of

the small screens first season of the science fiction anthology series "Outer Limits".

Never before had the human condition been explored so profoundly than this imaginative

foray into science fiction and fantasy and gothic horror. (I will argue that Rod Serling came

close but Stefano took it to a whole new level)

Radical in his approach, constantly outwitting the censors Joseph elevated the intellect

of his audiences by serving allegories that danced macabre and pinched the nerve of our

psychic disorders. All these decades later historians and critics are singing his praises.

Dan Rash not only has sung his praises but has taken it one step further by doing an

immaculate job of editing and curating some of Stefano's most astounding shooting scripts

for Outer Limits including quite a few that never made it to air.

We were honoured to have the opportunity to speak to Dan about the passionate drive that

led to his forth coming book that celebrates Stefano's writings. Dan is not just a fan but has

now concreted his role as a film historian in the construction of the book "From The Inner Mind

to the Outer Limits Volume One". If the first print run of 500 sells out then a second volume will

become a reality, lets make sure this happens. Link below.
