From my currently defunct Rejected Film Scores website:
According to the book The Outer Limits Companion (David J. Schow), Frontiere did a score for the failed pilot which the director dumped in favor of stock music from "The Outer Limits". Those who have the book can see if there are further details.
I wonder what we're getting here. Re-mastered TOL music? The dumped score accidentally included?

I remembered one person attending the 2011 screening of The Haunted mentioning a cue that was recycled on "Beachhead", the pilot of The Invaders. We will verify that statement on October 16.

INSIDE THE DARK & STORMY NIGHTS OF JOE STEFANO
By David J. Schow (Sunday, February 27, 2011)
The “Forms[of Things Unknown]” music, of course, was also ported into most of The Haunted, but for those hunting Dominic Frontiere rarities, about a quarter of his “original” score remains, including a never-before heard flute-heavy title theme (overall, this was the score that Stefano vetoed in favor of re-using The Unknown’s music).
From Gary Gerani (February 27, 2011 at 2:13 PM)
On a TV historian/geek note, I was amused to discover the “origin point” of a certain Dominic Frontiere cue that I always believed was the only original piece of music composed for The Invaders pilot. Those sleek, long notes we hear as David Vincent drifts off before witnessing the saucer landing were actually created for The Haunted, beautifully capturing the frightening and evocative qualities of Old Dark Houses. Speaking of The Invaders, it's amazing how many superficial similarities there are between QM's show and both Stefano pilots. David Vincent, like Orion, is an architect, with a very grounded business partner (James Daly, as opposed to Leonard Stone) and an obsession that pushes his real career into the background; the considerable money he earns as a designer pays for an offbeat hobby. In addition to all the distinctive music lifts, the optical "tear" effect devised for The Unknown was unabashedly reworked as a graphic for The Invaders, minus the sound effect.

OL Season 2 comes out around then, October 2nd. Would be nice if that includes some vintage bonus features. We all want the first episode with initial series logo PLEASE STAND BY, and the reject pilot THE UNKNOWN (later edited into an episode in Season 1). But they really belong with Season 1. Maybe they're saving them for Season 2 to make sure it sells.
It is possible that KL includes them. Who knows?
There are some promos and trailers to add to the bonus too.

Editorial Reviews
BRAND NEW RESTORATION IN 2K! Legendary writer and producer Joseph Stefano (Psycho and TV’s The Outer Limits) and star Martin Landau (TV’s Mission: Impossible and Space: 1999) originally shot this controversial cult classic as a pilot for a potential TV series called The Haunted, a new show similar in concept to The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, but with much more focus on horror. The pilot was not picked up, so after adding some additional scenes, The Haunted became The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre. Robert Stevens (TV’s Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone) started directing the pilot, but became very ill and was replaced by producer Stefano. Terrified of being buried alive, a young woman installs a phone in her crypt. A few days after her untimely death, the phone suddenly rings and paranormal investigator Nelson Orion (Landau) is brought in to probe the case. Stunningly shot in black-and-white by renowned cinematographers William A. Fraker (Rosemary’s Baby) and Conrad L. Hall (In Cold Blood). The stellar cast includes Diane Baker (Mirage) and Judith Anderson (Rebecca).
