From Beyond	comment	From Beyond is a 1986 film directed by Stuart Gordon, based on the short story "From Beyond" by H. P. Lovecraft. It reunites the people who made Re-Animator, based on another of Lovecraft's stories.The story is about a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast who has invented a machine that — partly by stimulating the pineal gland — allows its users to see the vast and terrible layers of reality that coexist with the world perceived by the five senses.As the film opens, Tillinghast (Jeffrey Combs) activates the "resonator" (basically four large tuning forks connected to a giant computer), which glows hot pink and allows him to see eel-like creatures floating in the air. One of the creatures attacks him; he shuts the resonator off and runs to tell his mentor/collaborator, the kinky Dr. Pretorius (Ted Sorel).Pretorius cranks the machine up to 11 and revels briefly in all the new sensations it gives him. Then something eats his head.Tillinghast is charged with Pretorius' murder and confined to a mental institution. But "girl wonder" psychiatrist Dr. McMichaels (Barbara Crampton) sees a pattern in Tillinghast's ravings and suspects he may be telling the truth. She has him released into her custody and the two of them, accompanied by a policeman (Ken Foree), return to the house where the whole mess went down.Repeated experiments with the resonator bring Pretorius Back from the Dead with a fresh new attitude and a few extra appendages, make McMichaels the recipient of the most revolting screen "kiss" ever (and later induce her to don some fetishwear that happens to be lying around), and leave Tillinghast bald, traumatized, and covered in goo.When the resonator is switched on (extradimensionally, by Pretorius) for the last time, Tillinghast's pineal gland pushes through his skull and pops out of his forehead on a stalk. Transported to a hospital where McMichaels tries to tell her story but she is confined in the very institution at which she used to work. Tillinghast awakens and goes on a brain-eating rampage and McMichaels escapes in the confusion, which eventually takes him back to the house, where he tries to de-brain McMichaels as she attempts to blow up the machine. She counters by biting off his gland in a scene nearly as gross and fully as symbolic as her kiss from Pretorius.Finally, Pretorius and Tillinghast battle one another to the gooey, gory death. McMichaels succeeds in destroying the laboratory but has been driven as mad as Tillinghast was at the start of the film. So it goes.Not to be confused with The Beyond.

It has only two onscreen characters, Tillinghast and the unnamed narrator. The movie's Tillinghast is a Composite Character of those two; every other character in the film, and most of the plot, is new.

From Beyond / int_24321e44	comment	Only Sane Man Naturally, nobody believes Crawford Tillinghast's story of strange creatures existing out of phase with us that can be seen when our pineal glands are stimulated. He is taken for a schizophrenic and rightly so. Inverted later when Dr. Katherine McMichaels who believes Crawford's story and wants to continue his experiments against his and the accompanying police officer's protests. Later, Bubba becomes the voice of reason in response to the traumatized Tillinghast and the junkie-like Katherine, rebuffing her advances. He's adamant they get the Hell out of there, especially after Crawford gets his hair eaten off, to the point he threatens to drag Katherine out kicking and screaming if she won't come willingly. After Bubba sacrifices himself, Katherine finally appreciates the depth of how dangerous the Resonator is and is Hell-bent to destroy it with a bomb.

From Beyond / int_d0b81ec4	type	Pineal Weirdness
From Beyond / int_d0b81ec4	comment	Pineal Weirdness: The mad scientist stimulates his pineal gland, allowing him to see into other dimensions. Freshly put to use, it grows to the extent that it pops out of his head on a stalk. To the further amusement of anyone familiar with brain anatomy, as the stalk extends in front, yet the pineal gland is near the back of the human brain.

From Beyond / int_d52d28b6	type	Hypocrite
From Beyond / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: The reason why Dr. Bloch hates Katherine is because she believes Katherine's methods and motives to be unethical. Later, when Katherine is committed after her actions lead to Bubba's death and Crawford's condition to worsen, Dr. Bloch's first act is to subject Katherine to electro-shock as a voltage high enough for the nurse to advise against it, her motives clearly done out of pure spite.

From Beyond / int_dca70c44	type	Reasonable Authority Figure
From Beyond / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Bubba may not believe Crawford's ramblings at the start, but he's quite congenial towards him as his police "minder," and only behaves in an intimidating manor when he incorrectly believes Crawford is attempting to escape. Once they've had the first experience with Pretorius and the Resonator, he buys Crawford's story completely and joins Crawford in urging Katherine to stop messing with the machine so they can get the Hell out of there.

From Beyond / int_eb8f64a6	comment	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: To get the flesh eating bugs off of Crawford and Katherine, Bubba, upon seeing they are revolted by the beam of the flashlight he's carrying, throws it as a diversion. Unfortunately, it lands with the beam shining on him, and they move off of the pair to devour Bubba instead.

From Beyond / int_eea96e78	comment	Swallowed Whole: Tillinghast is in the process of being swallowed from the neck up by a giant worm-creature when Bubba turns off the Resonator to banish it back to its home dimension. Tillinghast comes away from it with his life, but he loses his hair in the process.
