Jeffrey Combs makes anything watchable, no matter how bizarre. The man is a treasure.
Him and Tom Atkins are 2 reasons 80’s horror is awesome.
Very,very true.
You just earned yourself a film challenge and that challenge is called…
Motivational Growth, where Jeffery Combs plays a giant talking blob of bathroom mold giving a depressed shut-in life advice. It’s… A movie? I think..?
Foust: love of the damned
Jeffrey Combs is the living embodiment of an underrated actor!!!!! An Oscar level actor who never got the recognition he deserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hollywood always hated horror movies. Even more than fantasy and sci-fi.
Not to mention playing 219 characters in various Star Trek shows etc. lol
I love the guy as much as the next Lovecraftian 80s horror fan, but Oscar level actor is pushing it a bit don't you think mate? He's a fantastic campy actor who hams it up with the best of them, but Oscar worthy he is not.
In 1987 my buddies and I were hanging out smoking weed. We went to the video store and asked the Clerk gives us a really messed up movie. He gave us From Beyond. I had a big crash on Barbara Crampton after this. The Next week I went out and rented Re-Animator.
Barbara Crampton was and IS finer than hell 😍
I have never seen this movie, I am def going to go smoke sesh than check it out! Keeping the tradition alive lol
@reesebn38 This definitely reminds me of back of the video store type of rental days , wouldn't have been on the front shelf next to Moonstruck lol!! 😅
i also crushed on Barbara Crampton yes she is beautiful and apparently really nice in person as well.
Society (1989) is a must-see in this vein. Not a Lovecraft adaptation, but certainly in the same neighbourhood as From Beyond
It was directed by Brian Yuzna, who produced Stuart Gordon movies like Re-Animator and From Beyond, so there's also a neat connection to those.
Watch "The Colour Out of Space" (2019) for a recent Lovecraft adaptation.
Yes! Nick Cage!
yeah they did a great adaptation with that one.
Great movie
The black actor, Ken Foree, had starred in 1978's "Dawn of the Dead". "Castle Freak" was another horror film starring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton that was directed by Stuart Gordon and based off an HP Lovecraft story.
For more Jeffery and Barbara check out Castle Freak. 😃
I love when you guys react to more underrated horror films! Stuart Gordon is a horror icon, and his movies are ALWAYS entertaining and gleefully messed up in the most enjoyable way 😂❤
Very,very true.
Benevolent street is in Providence Rhode Island where HP Lovecraft lived his whole life. It’s about a half hour from my house.
Good to know.
At 3:00 Mrs Movies says "It's like those assEaters from the Stephen King movie". I jumped the gun and paused the video to do research. When I unpaused I realised she was talking about Dreamcatcher. I just wanted to warn everybody DO NOT make my mistake and research "assEAters". 🥺
Made the same mistake looking up the Ass Blasters from the Tremors movies. 😂😂😂
More Barbara Crampton yumminess. This film is bizarre but in a good way.
Very true.
oh "From Beyond", one of my best lovecraftian films ever :)
Consider adding Stuart Gordon's Dagon to your reaction list... it's every bit as insane as Reanimator and From Beyond!
Very true.
Eh, I don’t think it stands up to reanimate and from beyond. The actors are a bit weaker and the effects are worse. It just feels a little more cheesy overall but it’s still a fun one
0:50 Basically the short scene before the title is Lovecrafts story, almost everything after that is a "continuation" by Stuart Gordon.
Now it’s time to watch Cronenbergs Videodrome!!
This is one of those practical FX classics. Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton are amazing!
It’s looks like our Rec Room 😂
By the mid-1980s, the slasher film genre had gone into decline, and horror movies shifted more in the direction of H.P. Lovecraft-inspired horror, like From Beyond, Re-Animator, Prince of Darkness, Hellraiser, The Blob, Phantasm II, The Serpent and the Rainbow, etc.
scanners
The best years of horror imho
@@icoborg I don't think Scanners counts. For one, that came out in 1981, at the start of the slasher era. Also, Scanners was more of a psychic/paranormal thriller, like Carrie, The Dead Zone, and Firestarter.
@@tylermiller5904 It certainly was.
There was a big fantasy boom in the 80's.... And it definitely crept into the horror genre as the decade went on.
Still got this on VHS
Barbara Crampton is still gorgeous 😭
Hello Movie Couple!😊 Jeffrey Combs has a large following in the Star Trek community playing multiple roles and the horror film community!🏆 Barbara Crampton is known as a scream queen, of course.😱 If Bubba starts rambling about different shrimp recipes, I'm outa here.😆 I just realized she was attacked by two scientists that lost their heads in this film and "Re-Animator".😉 That must be her demographic.😆 BRAINS!!!!🧠🧠🧠 Nice reactions to another H.P. Lovecraft film, kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
An awesome classic! If you want something along the same lines of 'grossly bizarre' I recommend 'Society' one of Brian Yuzna's best movies!
So if anyone is curious about the story, or the idea of the resonator. HP lovecraft is known for being afraid of strange things, and one of them was microscopic organisms. the idea that you needed a device in order to see something that was everywhere creeped him out. He was also creeped out by air conditioners , like paranoid about where the cold comes from which also made it into a story of his.
He was out there. Hated dogs and seafood too. But what a genius. Seems like the geniuses of this world are tormented by things in their psyches.
Don't forget miscegenation.
That’s very insightful-Lovecraft was freaked out by things that modern science treated as commonplace.
@@tremorsfan He had some major hangups. Probably why the cancer got him as he didn't smoke or drink.
I remember doing a report on him in middle school in the mid 90’s. Insanity ran in his family. Like running through the town naked kind of insanity
Resonator? I just met her.
SPOILERS.
The creature is a Shoggoth. A being that was created for slave labor by ancient aliens. It’s a blob that can form it’s body into any tool or shape it needs to but rebelled against its masters millions of years ago.
It also uploads the knowledge of any thing it eats like the scientist in the beginning, it actually thought it was the scientist. They aren’t in the original story From Beyond by Lovecraft but in his story At The Mountains of Madness.
One of my favorite Jeffrey Combs films. Great to see you cover this one.
Definitely add The Void to your list. Im a huge fan of Lovecraft stories and movies.
Keep bringing on with the lovecraft
I have absolutely loved this movie since I saw theatrically. RIP Stuart Gordon.
🎶burnin' down the house...🎶
Reanimator and From Beyond are just awesome Lovecraft adaptations. When I read Lovecraft's stories I never really saw anything funny in them. These two movies capture the crazy horror of his stories but also find some great morbid humor in them too.
Very true.
In case anyone here is unfamiliar with Lovecraft's works - the entire plot of the short story this movie was based on was covered before the title screen. The story is 3 pages long and ends with the guy losing his head. Everything else in this movie was invented by the screenwriters.
From what I know most H.P. Lovecraft stories end with the protagonist being locked up in an Insane Asylum.
Check out the series Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet Of Curiosities. They have episodes of horror stories that are based on H.P. Lovecraft's horror novels from the 1920s and the 1930s that are very accurate to the original canon source material. Guillermo Del Toro actually respects the lore of the Great Old Ones much more than most Hollywood film makers do.
This was my first HP Lovecraft movie as a kid and had NO idea what I had watched. Lol
Thanks Patrick! Such a classic bonkers movie to request
25:31 "We have worm sign!"
Yes, Jeffrey Combs makes any movie better. Even his tiny unspeaking part in "House on Haunted Hill" (1999). I believe Mrs. has stumbled upon the subtitle for the film: "From Beyond, or, Bring on the Nipple Clamps!" The collaborations between Stuart Gordon and co-producer Brian Yuzna resulted in amazingly gory yet interesting films. And there is an overlap between universes, since Yuzna directed "Return of the Living Dead 3". Yuzna also worked on unbelievably diverse projects. His subversive body-horror/social commentary "Society" (1989) the same year as he co-wrote "Honey I Shrunk the Kids". Together, Gordon and Yuzna revived a whole horror sub-genre. They did for Lovecraft what Roger Corman did for Edgar Allen Poe.
Barbara Crampton is one of the nicest people i have spoken to, she is still making movies today, Suitable Flesh is her latest
When I was on Twitter she was a great follow.
@@RealBradMiller seems like the horror stars tend to be the nicest, as if they know the true horror ad are nice, or can only truly nice people be as evil as they pretend on screen.
Another nice little movie that sort of ties into the theme is the Banshee Chapter (2013) where similar things happen, just by a different mechanism. But Lovecraft and the plot of this story are mentioned as bearing similarities.
I'm glad you chose this one. I love it! Hot dog finger goo man 🤣
Unlike Re-Animator, this movie was edited in order to get an R rating. For years, the footage was believed lost, but a pristine copy of the cut footage was discovered and now the home video releases are the full, uncut version. Well, almost. Apparently there was a nasty S&M scene at the beginning, showing what Dr. Pretorius was doing in his room, and that scene is truly lost. I'd read about it in Fangoria magazine before the movie came out and always wondered what happened to it.
The crazy scientist guy is a true legend of the big and small screen. In america a genius called Jeffrey coombs who has portrayed multiple characters on big and small screen including the re-animator franchise, ambassador shran the andorian in star trek enterprise as well as weyoun of the vorta in star trek deep space nine. And is one of America finest and most accomplished stars of stage and screen including in the video for rock legend meatloafs song I would do anything for love but I won't do that
H.P. Lovecraft was pen pals with Robert E. Howard, the man that created Conan the Barbarian. In fact they used ideas from each others work in their stories. Many of the supernatural stuff in Conan the Barbarian were directly lifted from Lovecrafts works. So theoretically, Conan and Re-animator are in the same universe.
An all time favorite for me. Barbara Crampton is just the best and the effects are so well done, especially the final fight.
a modern follow up that goes well with this movie is The Void....its modern horror with practical horror effects and its disturbing....very good choice...
Barbra Crampton is always worth watching!
Sean Clark from the YT channel malfuncsean actually owns the resonator from this movie and some other props.
I'm re-falling in love with you two these last two weeks... really top notch visual cinematic retorts going on here!!! Thank you sooo much, a reason to live😊😊😊
Mr. Movies holding Mrs. Movies' hands to comfort her during the brain eating scene.
I think this movie is pretty good, particularly for a low budget 80s flick, especially since it has Jeffrey Combs in it. He is so very good at becoming the person he's playing.
I also want to recommend a Bruce Willis movie that seems to be mostly unknown. Tears of the Sun is a great movie! Sorry I can't afford to sub to the Patreon to make it a higher priority. I do want to note that I watched it 3 times on the day I discovered it.
Try the movie Would you rather. Combs is in that also. Really good movie
I saw this movie when I was 11. Barbara Crampton was one of my 1st celebrity crushes 😋
There are two more movies that are recent released, that are sequels to this movie. they are called the resonator and resonator 2, from the Miskatonic U series. they are fun.
I hope you react to more Lovecraft adaptations! May I suggest The Color Out of Space (with Nick Cage) in it. He goes full Nick Cage in it.
Color Out Of Space (2019) would be a perfect one for their Lovecraft movies.
I'd also venture Dagon (2001), which was made by the same director as From Beyond and Re-Animator and is, likewise, Lovecraft inspired.
Now that is a movie! As a small child I would watch this movie on late night tv. Super-duper good time. Thank you.
Where were your parents? 😂
@@jamesgatz4490 Look your honor - the ax fell out of my hands 26 times. My younger brother had leukemia. So my mother lived at the hospital for almost 3 years. My dad worked during the day and would be at the hospital in the evenings if you must ask, ms. noisy pants.
This movie was actually my first experience with H. P. Lovecraft. Saw it as a kid with my mom back in 2003 in order to get my horror movie jitters out the way. Needless to say, I was freaked out by the end.
Please react to The Resurrected. Great Lovecraft story.
Remember watching this down a friends house when we were 14, good movie, love the reactions
there is unsurprisingly a whole subgenre what would fall under "50 shades of Lovecraft" but that was almost a given seeing how often tentacles make their appears in his novels XD
God I love this movie.
Was a big fan of this movie. Even own a copy on VHS years ago. haven't seen this movies in at least 20 years.
Ken Foree (The Sargent) in this movie was one of the main characters in the original Dawn Of The Dead. He made a small appearance in the remake and was also in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3. People get him mixed up sometimes with Keith David
Stuart Gordon did a fine job of bringing the story to life; Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton are also wonderful, so full credit to them. Honestly though, you can't really experience Lovecraft without reading the stories. Lovecraft had a way of keeping scary things in the shadows which made them more terrifying. Stuart Gordon definitely doesn't do this because, well, films have to show, not tell. But I'd suggest you and Mrs. Movies try reading Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror, and The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward, to name just a few great ones.
I will always remember Ken Foree as Roger Rockmore (Kenan's dad) in Nickelodeon's Kenan and Kel.
Gooman with hotdog fingers..!Haahaaa love it✌🏻Enjoy watching you guys
Great review, you guys really had fun with how out there this one was.
Let Mrs. Movie know the struggle with lipstick is real. I don't know if it is the lighting, but her skin tone almost seems pink at times, and that would definitely make a red lipstick look like "punch/fruit juice lips" if not done right. A vivid red lip color makes my skin look the same; that and sweating from doing hard work ruining my makeup most days makes makeup less fun, and more wasteful for me. Things that might help if she wants to experiment is sticking to nude tones or darker colors, not brighter ones, and using a lip liner a few shades darker to create a differentiating line between her lip color of choice, and her beautiful rosie complexion.
If she decides getting into makeup is something she wants to get more into, I'd recommend asking for a color check at a local Sephora or Ulta.
An all-star cast of greats.
One of Barbara Cranston’s best roles, such a creepy and creative horror flick, one of my favorites
oh no this is a weird one
This could've been called 'H.P. Lovecraft's: The Montauk Project'.
Jeffrey Combs FTW!!!!!!!!! one of my favorites!
Actually, the pineal gland regulates the sleep-wake cycle or circadian rhythm.
But had me rofling how he asked. "...the Weiner?"
Watch Dagon, it is also based on a Lovecraft story
I love this movie...changed me in my teen years...
Humans are such easy prey
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Dr. Pretorius was named after a character in 'The Bride of Frankenstein'
Yeah, this movie is nuts!! On the Faraday cage, any solid conductive surface works.
Lovecraftian Movie you should watch:
Necronomicon (1993), Castle Freak (1995), the Lurking Fear (1994), the Resurrected (1991), the Colour out of Space (2019), The Unnamable (1988) and Cast a Deadly Spell
(1991)
One of my favorite movies as a kid lol
You should check out the Color Out of Space with nick cage for more Lovecraft goodness.
Yeaup..that's the reaction I expected outta this. I love this movie. Saw it in the theaters (I think). At least when it hit vhs i was first in line. I like this better than ReAnimator (but I still love that movie as well). Other Lovecraft movies are..Mouth of Madness, Dagon, Call Of Cuthulu that's filmed in a slient film style and effects but made in the early 2000s . and most of all a new movie with Nick Cage called The Color of Space. I do want to add another movie called Brain Damage (1988). It has that same Bert Gorden indy feel and storytelling.but it's not a Lovecraft story. It fits well with the 2 movies you watched already.
for more hp Lovecraft check out , the color out of space staring Nicholas Cage.
Never heard of this movie before so I'll give it a shot and see what it's about as long as I can handle it.
Check out the color out of space. With Nicolas Cage.
OH GOOD GOD!!! Enjoy one of my favorites 😂
Probably my favorite Stuart Gordon film. Dagon is also really good.
If you want Lovecraft done right; watch the 2005 Call of Cthulhu short film(done in the style of a 20's silent movie). Created by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society. As a long time fan of the genre, they did with a modest budget and much imagination what major studios failed to with so much more. They would also do a 2011 rendering of The Whisperer in Darkness as a 1930s talkie.
Dr. Pretorius, cool ass villain name 😎
Remember to always lock-out tag-out those resonators so unauthorized personnel don't have access
Cardinal Lovecraftian NO-NOs:
1. Don't read the books
2. Don't recreate the experiment.
3. Don't speak the words.
4. Don't inject the substance.
5. Don't go to Innsmouth.
6. Don't go to Miskatonic university
7. Don't go to Arkham.
This list brought to you by: Slurm, Hypnotoad, andthe Brain Slug collective.
Now to watch THE Beyond. Lucio Fulci, baybee.
The short story this is based on, which is pretty different from this movie, was also the inspiration for Stephen King’s The Mist and the short story (which is also pretty different from the movie) for 1408.I’m not sure King has said 1408 is his version of From Beyond, but you read it and it’s easy to tell it’s definitely his version of From Beyond but playing on Kings past drug use. Although The Mist seems like it’s more King’s take on this ‘60s British movie called Island of Terror.
The short story for From Beyond is basically just the opening part of the movie, and ends with the main character getting arrested; but short story however has a lot more going on when the machine gets turned on, they see vast alien landscapes with giant alien temples. None of the sex stuff is in the short story version of From Beyond, but the pineal gland is there, and the sex stuff in the movie came from some article Stuart Gordon had read (I think around that time) with regard to the pineal gland...or something like that...and also Brian Yuzna was a writer on it.
This has always been one of my favorite Lovecraft adaptations, because it's one of the few that doesn't play it as half- or more comedy, and because the ending is very, *very* Lovecraft. Shapeshifting monsters from Beyond? Only one survivor, and what she's seen drives her insane? Yep. That tracks.
Another good one if you can get past some *really* bad early CGI at the beginning of the movie, and some amateur acting, is Dagon. It's mostly The Shadow Over Innsmouth, with a little bit of the poem Dagon thrown in for flavor.
For a really fun movie, with a truly odd but brilliant performance from Jeffrey Combs in a supporting role, I highly recommend The Frighteners. It's from Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, Dead Alive), and bridges between his early splatter horror/comedy and his brilliant LotR trilogy. It stars Michael J. Fox.
Want to checkout a couple more recent takes Nick Cage The Color of Space and Heather Graham's Suitable Flesh.
Oh, heck yeah!
This movie rules.
After Re Animator, Jeffrey Combs be back with Stuart Gordon. Incredible movie with much dark humour. ❤❤❤
Another film you might want to check out is Mind Ripper (1995) by Wes Craven, which has Lance Henriksen in it, creepy 90s sci-fi horror.
That’s why I like you two, your not afraid to reacts to some genuinely weird $hit 🤣
