Episode Details

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1986’s From Beyond and 1995’s Castle Freak, and we were joined by Devin Boudreaux of Boise straight edge outfit Rejection Pact

We start by briefly discussing H.P. Lovecraft’s impact on horror and what we’ve done lately involving horror. Devin talks about seeing Blood Harvest for the first time, completing his Hammer horror Christopher Lee collection the Blu Ray of Scars Of Dracula, and watching the Purge TV series. Liam talks attending the recent Reel Weird Weekend event at Mahoning Drive and seeing Remote Control and Videodrome and seeing Ready Or Not with Justin, who also talks about watching the second season of AMC’s The Terror, beginning Netflix’s Mindhunter, the trailers for The Lighthouse and Little Monsters, and seeing IT: Chapter Two, the review of which you can read here.

Discussion starts with From Beyond. We give a brief outline of the film, highlighting the fact that this is the second time Stuart Gordon has worked on a Lovecraft adaption with both Jeffery Combs and Barbara Crampton.

We each give our backgrounds on the film and how we discovered it. The look of the film, including the color palate and claustrophic set design is discussed in how it echoes Lovecraft’s own style of storytelling.
