Heavily censored when it was first released in the US, Lucio Fulci's stunning gore-fest The Beyond was restored to its original flesh-lacerating glory and showcased on the midnight circuit in 1998 by mega-fan Quentin Tarantino. The Clay now presents a reprise screening of the uncut zombie/haunted-house hybrid film. New Yorker Liza Merril inherits a derelict hotel in rural Louisiana. But as the corpses start to pile up (and become re-animated) she discovers that the building sits atop one of the seven gateways to Hell. (D'oh!) When Fulci isn't training his camera on flesh-eating tarantulas, acid facials, ripped jugulars, and live crucifixions, he packs in more ambient menace than an H.P. Lovecraft story.
