he was another Bernard Herrman...very original eerie music and was used to build to climax many episodes
Harry Lubin had only one memorable theme, used in "The Inheritors" the rest of his music was pretty bland
Sci-Fi Movies today need great evocative scores like Frontiere. Gave it that horror vibe.
Great score. They were so much more daring back then. I met Leonard Rosenman once (Beneath The Planet Of The Apes) and was in awe. The skills those guys had back in the day. Who gets to write like Bartok or Schoenberg for the screen today?
shareFrontiere's OUTER LIMITS scores were masterpieces. Still don't think anyone has ever equalled them, at least on TV.
shareI've been watching these since they show up on re-runs again. Lubin seemed to be quite enamoured of the Theremin. It's like in -every- show he does... sometimes at places that don't seem at all 'spooky'.
shareSince they were on a lower budget, Lubin re-used his scores as did Dominic sometimes. I enjoyed the Lubin scores also which I felt gave the show an Other Worldly feel. 🌙🚀
shareGerd Oswald's directing reminds one of Citizen Kane. Camera angles you REALLY didn't see coming, even in the age of Soderbergh and Cameron.

He really did an outstanding job on TOL. Creepy AND beautiful sounding music.
OT: Dominic Frontiere also did the music for Twelve O'Clock High The Television Series.
Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
I liked his music in Outer Limits and The Invaders, which he basically re-used in the first season; but then he did this below. WTF Dom, you had success, married a rich woman, and then you do this crap.
He was the seventh husband of the late former owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Georgia Frontiere. In December 1986, he was sentenced to one year and a day in federal prison for willfully filing a false income tax return and lying to IRS investigators to cover up his role in scalping Rams tickets to the 1980 Super Bowl game. He was also fined the maximum amount of $15,000 after the judge felt Frontiere had repeatedly lied in court when asked to explain his actions. He was released in September 1987 and the next year his wife filed for divorce.share
