- Want to talk about iconic intros? Unsolved Mysteries had one of the best. Get a double whammy going with The X-Files, and everyone pees their pants. Going back to revisit this series, especially in bed at night, still caused the same anxiety I had as a child. It started as a series of seven specials with Raymond Burr, Karl Malden, and Robert Stack presenting. Only one could remain! Stack came out victorious among the other competitors. It was one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time! It wasn't, but it would be a lot cooler if it was. Stack became the host, and the rest is childhood trauma history. Today we look back at the great Unsolved Mysteries!

![Unsolved Mysteries - 1991 Extended Theme (10-15-91) [Vinyl]](/img/1.gif)
Robert Stack was a legend. When I ran for student council president back in high school I had him on my poster. It said “Don’t make it an Unsolved Mystery, Vote Parker for President!”
Was it too early for ‘Steven Parker can’t lose’? That might have been a tad pretentious and presumptuous if so….😂😂 that would have killed otherwise 👍
Lol I would have 100% voted for u
As far as narrators go...I saw a online poll on the top 5 best tv narrators and Stack was in 2nd place. The 1st place went to the legendary Peter Thomas (who was the narrator on "Forensic Files".
What would the unsolved mystery have been? Lol
Who doesn't remember? Classic show. Classic narration, classic chilling theme. The new one on netflix doesn't hold a candle to the original.
The new version doesn't
TRY to match the original.
Which makes it good in its own right.
Yes! New one pales in comparison to the original.
The theme song that gave me more nightmares than any other in the early 90s, hands down. Robert Stack's voice backed up by that unnerving, iconic tune...need I say more?
Pure nightmare fuel!
I used to watch this show when I was 5-6 years old, and Robert Stack had the voice and presence that will never be forgotten.
I watch it every single day on RUclips. Unsolved Mysteries, Twilight Zone & Forensic Files will always be my favorite shows!
Forensic Files is a must. That FilmRise True Crime channel is a gem.
Check out Mr. Ballen.
@@sertank735 Oh yeah I like him!
Every town has a dark side is great and homicide hunter
Dont forget A&e's Cold Case Files
R.I.P. Robert Stack he was excellent as the host of unsolved mystery.
R.I.P. to a king
"UPDATE"
This show is still great. Robert Stack was awesome, the theme song was creepy as heck, and the reenactments were spooky.
I love putting this show on during a rainy night with a dim lamp on sippin a hot coffee 🌧☕️ The intro music is amazing. Robert Stack is the man. R.I.P.
How could anybody forget that voice.
The whole show is available here on RUclips! I've already binged it twice!
It started my obsession with "True Crime" shows. Had a perfect mix of a set-up that leads into the dramatization of the story. Great review!
I never dared watch unsolved mysteries, the opening music alone was enough for me, when i heard the theme i knew it was time for bed. The " Resurrection Mary" episode was full on trauma, I miss my childhood
Yeah, I definitely remember that episode!! It stuck with me all these years!!
@@brandonpage7087 that blacked out face, unbelievable bro.
The late 80s to early 90s was such a great time for creepy tv. Tales from the Crypt, Unsolved Mysteries, X-Files… it was a stacked deck.
Unsolved Mysteries (the original iteration) was a perfect mix of spectral phenomena, lost treasure, extraterrestrial phenomena, true crime and the occasional lost loves eps.
Also Robert Stack was perfect for the role. Other hosts came and went but he by far was the best. One thing I do like about the new iteration of the show is the little homage to him right at the end as if to say “you may be gone, but we will never forget you and what you contributed to this show.”. Touching.
You left out sightings
One of the most disturbing (solved) entries that stuck with me all of these years was of a man who on two separate nights entered establishments and told the employees to line up against the wall. They were expecting to get robbed, but instead were each shot in the back of the head!
There were six victims in total. When the killer was caught his explanation was simply because he felt like doing it!
This show and America's most wanted was always played around the house when I was a kid. I use to think as a kid that the hosts of both shows were the same guy
As a 80's and early 90's child, this show was the perfect "allowed to watch" companion piece to my burgeoning love of horror, mystery, and true crime. It supported my gravitation towards science, and curiosity of the unknown. Robert Stack introduced Unsolved Mysteries, but OG Unsolved introduced me to the X-Files. Those darker shows my parents would watch too (I had to sneak-watch some horror movies, but those two shows were fine. Binge-able, even).
Still love it.
This show was an enormous part of my childhood, I use to watch it every day on lifetime channel. Many of the stories mentioned here are the ones that stood out to me as well. An iconic show that can never be replaced
Niki Minter is the best acquisition from this channel... love her videos
My friend who is a few years younger than me told me in the 90s that the Unsolved intro scared her.
I laughed so hard.
WHY!
The music alone used to have me hiding under a blanket. All those episodes with aliens gave me the creeps.
I love the fact these are still being solved
Wow!!! I was born in 83 and every segment that you highlighted have been my favorites for so many years!
How could I or anyone forget this series??? That music seriously haunted my childhood, & the paranormal themed episodes always kept me up at night!!! I was unaware of the new version, but have little interest in viewing it, & I do remember the Spike TV reboot, & it sucked.
As a kid, that theme sent me to bed suited in goosebumps...
every...damn...time.
Me too, man!!!
It was a magical time growing up in the 80s.
Of course I remember. I still watch it.
Of course. It ran after rescue 911. I currently watch the Netflix revival and listen to the podcast on Spotify.
That theme music caused more sleepless nights for me as a kid than I care to admit.
I loved this show as a kid. It was so well produced. The spooky intro, robert stacks voice, the eerie stories. They make a ton of paranormal shows today, but none will ever top the OG Unsolved Mysteries.
I'd love to see you guys cover the Sleepy Hollow tv series or Scream Queens!
Their was a unknown video of a guy cackling and threatening someone while he records a house burning. It stuck in my head for 30 years.
Literally marathoned this show yesterday haha
Do I remember it? I still watch it (thank God for streaming)! Robert Stack was easily more terrifying than any monster when I was a kid.
Many dudes had Amnesia in the 80s and started new lives. That’s what I remember.
I used to watch Rescue 911 right after this.
I remember that show , they even bought it back briefly or was just in the air really long
I remembered the segment.... with Matthew McConaughey... it was so sad..... an innocent young man was killed in front of his mother in Broad daylight
That family portrait at 9:05 is scarier then anything the show ever did lol
Funny thing (well its murder so not funny but you know what I mean) there's dozens of recent RUclips videos on that story so I already knew what picture you were talking about before I clicked on the time stamp!!!
@@arizonaFIREent lol nice
00:11, RUclips channel Popcorn In Bed! Lol!! Love them!
08:42 *That psychiatrist is none other than the legendary Dr John E Mack*
He was a Pulitzer prize winner, professor and head of psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School and the greatest supporter of the abduction phenomena the world has ever seen. To date Unsolved Mysteries is still the most respectful and intelligent reporting that the subject has ever been given. Unsolved Mysteries understood something quite profound, that If these people had witnessed a murder their testimony would be believed in any court of law, yet because they witness and experience something otherworldly they are scoffed at and ridiculed. They deserve so much more than this and on this show above all others they are shown as genuine and are given the respect they deserve. Search for 'Unsolved Mysteries Missing Time' for an incredible episode. If you are not yet a believer this is the one that might change your mind.
Unsolved Mysteries is the greatest show ever made in my opinion, particularly the first 4 seasons. I have all the dvd boxsets and I binge watch all 12 seasons once a year here on RUclips. 😀😊👍🏻
Robert Stack has a voice you listen to. He can read a VCR instruction book you listen.
Don't forget the happy stories too! One that still sticks in my mind, probably because I now have immediate family working in social-services, is the story of the Zelenskis; a rare example of a young woman who actually have a positive experience in the foster-care system. I think think about that story a lot these days... =)
unsovled mysterys was one of my favorit shows growing up!
*The intro theme song of this used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. along with the X-files. the intros would come on just before it was my bedtime.*
This was one of only two things that gave me nightmares as a kid (the other was Night of the Living Dead, because a kid on my bus convinced me it was based on a true story). Aside from the intro music, the dramatic reenactments always got to me. they always showed an escaped psycho killer peeking in a window, watching someone watching Unsolved Mysteries and it always looked like it was my house. Lol. That and the alien abduction episodes terrified me. Especially since I live in Maine, not far from where that took place.
Now I know we're kindred spirits, Niki! lol I absolutely Love Unsolved Mysteries. I watched it constantly as a kid and I still watch it on Pluto, I just go to the channel and leave it on there. Before that I remember each season being put up on prime in HD years ago like every month and I binged it everytime they put up another season but I noticed they removed segments which was very disappointing. Next to The X-Files, UM was the show I always looked forward to watching the most in the 90's. Something about the music and opening title card sequence (no matter which version) always set the perfect eerie mood. The tonality of the show was just on another level especially compared to anything else on at the time. Stack was no doubt the incredible icing on an already perfect cake. He was a legendary host and could never be replaced. You picked so many great segments but one of my faves was the blob segment that was about the gelatinous goo that rained down over a town for a short period which got the entire town sick or even the hum segment which actually has an X-Files episode based on the phenomena. So many great segments could be mentioned but I'll stop now. lol Thanks for shining light on an always worthy show.
One forever burned in my memory is the outro to the episode about Roswell with the military men packing the "crash site artifacts" in a hangar with the outro tune, the softer tune...
I still watch prob an episode a day before bed on RUclips. The one that stuck w me most was their feature on the Circleville Letters.
Yes! My mom got me into this show when I was little
Born in ‘87, this and the X-files were my favorite shows as a kid. I was a weird kid.
I love unsolved mysteries!!
Best Unsolved Mysteries episode: that segment in Baseketball
Great comment. 😂😂😂😂
@@jonathanturbide2232 thanks! How he did it so straight is what made it more hilarious! 😂
But did you cheer out loud every time Robert Stack said "update" and the "Update" title card popped up?
Robert Stack did a great job when the pilot crew of Trans-American flight 209 was incapacitated by food poisoning.
😆😆😆😂😂😂
Within each centimeter by centimeter of the film that contains its many episodes, Unsolved Mysteries clearly is the greatest television show ever created. It does it all.
Sightings a show from the 90's scared the crap out of me as a kid. Wish they would remake that show.
90s baby I am a fan of all the crime/mystery shows of the 90s and earlier 2000s. Crop circles? Still wonder about those and spontaneous human combustion.
You can’t watch it now and have the same exact love/hate feelings for it… it was a childhood experience….a very nice one…. Thanks for the love ❤️
Wasn't expecting to see Popcorn in Bed that's for sure.
I loved this show as it was back then but now they went and made it all sparkly with the ghosts and those horrid filters. I miss the Robert Stack era.
The one about a ghost and there's watery foot prints around a pool... does that any bells for anyone? I remember that clearly! We watched the crap out Stack's Unsolved Mysteries when I was a kid!
That’s the queen Mary episode of UM
@@faze1sari Rad! Thankyou!
I watched that show every week than it was on lifetime everyday n I still caught the old episodes with Robert stack ❤❤❤ love this show even the new r ok but robert stack is so missed😢❤
Was always one of my favs. Never scared me but I was already in my 20’s. Was so sad when we moved to PA my NBC affiliate didn’t carry it!
Yes it was mad creepy. I remember getting freaked out about the U.F.O...my pops allowed me to watch with him, as a 80's child.
Was excited to see the Alabama Theater in this video. That's where my graduation was held in '94. Yep, the accent, and ever'thang. You are definitely a "G.R.I.T.S." (Girl Raised In the South).
Love Unsolved Mysteries
I remember the one when Matthew McConaughey is shot by a fat guy.
A few cases featured on Unsolved Mysteries where also featured on America's Most Wanted
Oh man, now y’all need to do a video on Beyond Belief!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The scariest ghost story I every saw on unsolved mysteries is a segment called “Samuels ghost” there is a scene where one of the children in the house is being tormented by disembodied voices and laughter when he gets home from school and he immediately runs outside the house as he turns back to look at the house the screen door is slamming and then he seen a old man peer out behind the window curtain…seems innocuous but it totally freaked me out as a kid.
Remember the haunted hotel where the bartender saw the demonic child nightmare fuel 4ever.
I remember watching The Tallman's Ghost segment when I was 9 years old. It scared the sh*t out of me I couldn't sleep.
Unsolved Mysteries still updates their episodes even 30+ years later... except ghost stories. Those remain unsolved, for whatever reason.
I watched this show as a kid and of course the ones that terrified me involved kids, I remember the one with the van at the convenience store that after it pulled away a polaroid of two gagged kids was found in the parking slot. Also one that had a message from a child murderer warning that he was still at large scrawled on a bathroom stall. With an upside down cross drawing.
RUclips now has all the classic Robert Stack episodes for free
There was a while when these original episodes weren't ANYWHERE, and all you got were a few snippets on RUclips and some very rare DVDs that were just a collection of various stories and not full episodes. A few years back the original episodes came back and just exploded, and all full-length episodes started streaming EVERYWHERE.
That UFO episode was def one of the best. As a kid these definitely creeped us out and as an adult it's just hella entertaining, especially the Unexplained Death segments. I only wish we could have done without a lot of those wishy-washy Lost Loves segments. Some got extra cheesy.
A lot of people perhaps forgot but in the 90s show Dinosaurs there was an episode that parodied Unsolved Mysteries, where they turn on the tv and there is a dino with a khaki trench coat narrating while walking down a foggy smoke-machined alley. Very funny 😂🤣
Yooo! Hell yeah I remember this show! Every weds night @8 on channel 8✌🏾 favorite segment the unexplained!
Turn the audio up, I have it all the up in the car and it’s just okay
I saw a UFO as a toddler. I remember it well, I was playing at a park when I saw it flying between the trees. It had the shape of a frisbee. True story.
I love niki minter! Her videos are the best ❤
An interesting rabbit hole to go down is the Danny Casolaro/The Octopus case. Always thought there was way more to that story but there was never an UPDATE or anything.
There's definitely more to that story, and a small number of people wrote books about it or did podcasts about it, but it's such a scary rabbit hole that even UM didn't dare go too deep into it. Real scary stuff.
Nice video.👍🏽😎✌🏽💯
The bunk bed episode is the only episode from the series that gave me nightmares.
Dennis Depue looks absolutely insane.
My alien abduction would be more like Colleen Rafferty’s on SNL…. 😂😂
Ues one of my favorites
Yoooo shout out to any and all the Piggly Wiggly's
Where I used to live in Florida a place called Clermont there was a haunted house episode literally on unsolved mysteries. Talk about Middle School conversations the following day LOL
"Maybe he's hanging by his neck in his fucking closet" Robert Stack "Baseketball"
The best thing about shows like Unsolved Mysteries is that they aired in a time when people weren't so weak-minded that they needed a "content warning" for everything that wasn't absolutely mundane.
This was my favorite show as a kid that wasn't a cartoon or power rangers. Big part of why I'm the tinfoil hat type these days
A super classic !!!
i'm so with you on the Aliens thing when i was younger and probably to this day, if i'm being honest.
I loved this show when it came out. I have some scary memories with this show. Loved the Host Stack of this show hes voice made the stories even scarier. Sadly, when the show changed the host. I lost interest in watching the show. Awesome show when the reruns are with Robert Stack I watch them again for the stories and the host.
Great episode
🔥🔥 we need more from both hosts
Scary AF....intro and episodes.....especially if you watched this alone late at night. 😟 also available on Amazon Prime tv
Robert Stack is the only one that is Unsolved Mysteries to me.
Awesome Pilot
