Nickolaus then worked on such popular television series as the legal drama television series Perry Mason, the western television series Rawhide, and Gunsmoke, which starred James Arness. Together with Conrad Hall, he had helped establish the visual style of the original The Outer Limits (1963–65).

Nickolaus continued to work in television until shortly before his death in Malibu, California in 1985. He died of cancer.[1]
