The Third Eye

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

The Third Eye is a mini-series anthology that aired on Nickelodeon that consisted of a variety serials from the UK and New Zealand. The Third Eye premiered on Nickelodeon in January 1983. It was a live action sci-fi/supernatural anthology that included the first series of Into the Labyrinth, The Haunting of Cassie Palmer, Children of the Stones, and Under the Mountain. A fifth serial, The Witches and the Grinnygog, was added shortly before The Third Eye was discontinued. The unifying theme of the show was that of children with psychic powers. Before every episode, an on-screen announcement declared, "The following is a science-fiction program, and may contain some startling scenes. This show is intended for older children." Whoever was responsible for developing the series for Nickelodeon is unknown, as the anthology itself went completely uncredited. The voice-over used during the opening titles, however, is reminiscent of the work of Don LaFontaine: "Somewhere in the crowd... sometimes you find someone very special. Someone who hears the unheard. Someone who understands the mystery. Sometimes, there's someone who sees with the third eye!"
