Book:

From Beyond

HP Lovecraft

​

Film: 

From Beyond (1986)

 Written in 1920 and first published in 1934, Lovecraft’s short story.  The story is told from the first-person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person's pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality.  These characters would be minor characters in Lovecraft’s The Case of Charles Dexter Ward or aka Reanimator.

  Stuart Gordon’s body horror film is loosely based on the short story by Lovecraft and stars Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, Ken Foree and Ted Sorel.  From Beyond centers on a pair of scientists attempting to stimulate the pineal gland with a device called the Resonator. An unforeseen result of their experiments is the ability to perceive creatures from another dimension that proceed to drag the head scientist into their world, returning him as a grotesque shape-shifting monster that preys upon the others at the laboratory.  Gordon made use of medical advisors to be sure that the actions taken by the doctors and nurses of the film followed proper medical procedures.

The Horror Of...Halloween Night, Re-Animator (1985), In Short

Sadly, we are heading into the final weekend of our Halloween fun. So it's time to get in what gore and horror we can, hmm? So let's return yet again to the 80's with a gory comedic classic. One of the Brian Yunza and Stuart Gordon twisted jaunts. A bit of the old Jeffrey Combs that make carnivorous entrails smile.

Re-Animator.

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti スプラッターハウス わんぱくグラフィティ

Release: July 31st, 1989 | Developer: Now Production | Publisher: Namcot

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti is a true gem. The game, the third in the Splatterhouse series after the original arcade game and the subsequent PC Engine port, was released in 1989 by Namco. It is from the Japanese school of super deformed chibi-styled side games, such as Konami’s Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun (Kid Dracula) and Capcom’s Mighty Final Fight.

Don’t let the cutesy graphics fool you, this game has some disturbing imagery scattered throughout, making a North American release a certain impossibility. Take for instance decapitated corpses falling from trees while hideous heads are left hanging from their nooses, devilish alien worms bursting forth from a school girl’s chest and solemn parishioners looking on as you battle a possessed goat before a satanic idol in a Catholic church.

The story starts as all Splatterhouse games do, with your untimely death and the abduction of your beloved girlfriend by some manner of ghoul or devil worshipping sodomite. You are brought back from the dead by the powers of a possessed Jason Voorhees-esque mask and you set out in search of the aforementioned hell-spawn (represented in this incarnation by a floating Jack-o-Lantern) to rescue your lady friend from its diabolical clutches.

The name of the game is platforming, in the vein of Ghouls n’ Ghosts and Adventure Island. You progress through four large and varied stages en route to the final confrontation in “Hell House on the Hill”. The jack-o-lantern has the guts (amirite?) to taunt you at the beginning of each stage, which adds some unintentionally hilarious phrases such as “BE GARBAGE OF CESSPOOL” and “DIAMOND LAKE, GHOST COMES HERE WITH A RAY”. The former being an obvious Friday the 13th Crystal Lake reference.

Speaking of horror movie references, this game is absolutely choked with them. Everything from David Cronenberg, Evil Dead, Brian Yunza’s Re-Animator. Ridley Scott’s Alien and the Exorcist get paid loving tribute throughout Wanpaku Graffiti’s sprawling world.

The game is straight up action platforming that sees you use your trusty butchers’ knife to hack through spooky graveyards, haunted houses, possessed cabins, cursed lakes and slimy sewers in search vengeance. Snuck in with the tightly controlled platforming is a rudimentary experience point system that sees you get gradual health increases the more enemies you kill. If you die once it’s game over, but this is offset by level skipping passwords and a limited number of continues.

Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti has two endings, one of which is a hidden ending you can see if you find a secret branching path. I won’t spoil the either of them, but I will say that final scene in the game is a masterpiece of meta self-referential genius.

I cannot recommend this game enough, especially if you are horror movie buff or simply love weirdo Japanese video games.

Fear of Santa Claus Pt 5 (Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: the Toymaker, 1991)

Oh boy.  I genuinely feel bad for Mickey Rooney having this in his resume.  On the other hand, the fact that he blasted the original film…well, it is kind of poetic.  Rooney is kindly elderly toy-maker Joe Petto.  Obviously, subtlety is not a priority for the film makers. Along with his son Pino (again, subtlety is a lost art), he runs a toy store. In case you missed it, there is a scene where a…
