10 Strangest Horror Movies Of All Time

7. From Beyond (1986)

€œIt ate him... bit off his head... like a gingerbread man!€ Two scientists have developed a machine called a resonator, which allows anyone near it to see beyond normal human perception. The only problem is, once the resonator is active, the creatures that exist beyond can see us, too€ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kENuvJ2MIA Stuart Gordon€™s brilliantly loopy and brilliantly loose adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft€™s short story of the same name essentially runs the same story as Hellraiser would the following year, only substituting overwhelming crescendos of gore and goo where Clive Barker posited stylish musings on the inversion of Freud€™s pleasure principle. The creature design is stupendously, appallingly weird, too. That€™s From Beyond€™s unique selling point, as both Dr. Edward Pretorius and Dr. Crawford Tillinghast succumb to the quiverings of their artificially enlarged pineal glands and transform into slavering, skinless monstrosities desperate to eat as many people as they can lay their mutating mitts on. Lovecraft probably wouldn€™t have wholly approved of a film that would prove so desperate to show what he preferred to tell, but frankly Lovecraft could moan about cold beer on a hot summer€™s day. From Beyond is insane, gibbering, mental-as-f*ck fun to watch, and any film which has Jeffrey Combs delivering lines like the one that kicks off this entry needs a place on your shelf.
