CORPUS EARTHLING
Rocks: silent, inanimate objects torn from the Earth's ancient crust...strange organisms beyond the imagination of man...
Two strange rock samples in Dr. Temple's geology lab conceal hideous lifeforms, evil parasites capable of entering and controlling a human being. Enter Paul Cameron, who, thanks to a metal plate in his head, can hear the rocks communicating, plotting their takeover of the world. The aliens get wise to Paul's eavesdropping , and hypnotise him, suggesting he kill himself. One of the most twisting, turning episodes of The Outer Limits has just begun!! Do not adjust your TV set...
O.B.I.T.
"It's awful-awful!!!...The most hideous creation ever conceived!! It's like a drug, a horrible drug. You can't resist it. It's an addiction."
These words are babbled by the insane Colonel Grover to describe the OBIT - Outer Band Individual Teletracer -a hellishly precise surveillance machine of questionable origin. Uncovered by a murder investigation at a Defence Department Research Centre, OBIT proves to be an insidious instrument that breeds fear and hostility. See what happens when all privacy is eliminated... and all secrets are revealed!
