From Beyond (1986)

On the headless heels of the brain-splattering fright landmark Re-Animator (1985), writer-director Stuart Gordon turns again to the way-out works of author H.P. Lovecraft to deliver another screaming gross-out classic with From Beyond (1986). Also returning are stars Jeffrey Combs, as our scientist hero, and Barbara Crampton, as a naked vision of pure bliss, this time in the guise of a psychiatrist. Jeffrey is Dr. Crawford Tillinghast, a driven scientist who invents "The Resonator," a machine that boosts the pineal gland so much that it allows humans to enhance their senses to an absurd degree. At one point, his mad with ambition assistant Dr. Edward Pretorius (Ted Sorel) goes too far and ends up decapitated by an unseen creature from another dimension. Obviously the cops don't believe Dr. Crawford Tillinghast, so he is put in the loony bin where he meets Dr. Katherine McMichaels (Barbara Crampton). She runs some tests and starts to believe his insane story, and suggests they rebuild The Resonator to try and prove his innocence. But doing that just unleashes a new, monstrous version of Pretorius who tells tales of other worlds beyond human comprehension. Worse, Crawford's pineal gland keeps growing and growing, to the point of him craving human brains to feed that thing! A gory, effects driven take on the classic "science gone too far" trope, what really resonated with us was the stuff with Barbara Crampton in a dominatrix outfit. At one point, she's got the S and M gear on, and is straddling a man afflicted by some kind of otherworld illness. It's basically a thong, but it doesn't cover her lady parts when she gets to wiggling! We'd sure love to bang the hot blonde in From Beyond! And since he's still a man, even if he's a monster from another dimension, at one point our evil scientist tears off Barbara's blouse to grab a handful of her mams! Our hand is crampin from all that Crampton! Whether or not you love Lovecraft, Barbara is beyond sexy in From Beyond!
