Gooey fun, crazy creatures, phallic flying tapeworms, third eyes popping out of foreheads, brain snacking, swarms of flesh eating insects, Barbara Crampton in leather (!) …FROM BEYOND delivers the weird bloody goods and you’ll have the chance to see it on the big screen when it plays midnights at The Hi-Pointe Theater (1005 McCausland Ave, St. Louis) this Friday and Saturday nights (June 6th and 7th) – this month’s Late Night Grindhouse feature presented by  the folks at Destroy The Brain!

The team behind RE-ANIMATOR (1985 – shown at LNGH last year); director Stuart Gordon, writer Brian Yuzna, composer Richard H. Band and some of the same cast, offered up another grisly science/horror flick based on another HP Lovecraft story the very next year.

FROM BEYOND was as equally depraved (perhaps more so) as RE-ANIMATOR and a bit more serious. Jeffrey Combs (Dr. Herbert West in the previous film) returned as the mild-mannered Crawford Tillinghast, apprentice to the dangerously obsessed Dr. Pretorious (Ted Sorel) and co-inventor of an ominous-looking device known as “The Resonator” — a machine designed to stimulate the sensory apparatus contained within the human pineal gland. Such stimulation allows participants to “see” the slimy creatures which occupy a dimension parallel to our own, but with some chilling side effects — the first of which being that the interdimensional vision works both ways. When a powerful sentient force devours Pretorious and assumes his consciousness, Tillinghast panics and destroys the Resonator — soon to find himself in a padded cell, accused of his mentor’s murder. Called to the case are Dr. McMichaels (Barbara Crampton, another RE-ANIMATOR alum) and amiable cop Bubba Brownlee (Ken Foree from DAWN OF THE DEAD), who escort Tillinghast back to the shattered laboratory in an attempt to corroborate his deranged account by re-creating the experiment. Their attempts are all too successful, and the Pretorious-thing emerges to take control of the reactivated Resonator and draw the others into its hideous realm. Also called forth are the participants’ darkest sexual desires — another interesting by-product of pineal stimulation — and, in Tillinghast’s case, an uncontrollable urge to devour human brains. Just when it seems it can’t get any weirder…it does. How much weirder?…Find out for yourself this weekend at The Hi-Pointe.

FROM BEYOND is pure horror delirium from start to finish – don’t miss it!

The pre-show begins at 11:30 and admission is only $7.
