Beyond Darkness (1990)

Author: Geekscape September 18, 2025 Duration: 49:15
Listener Submitted Month continues with another banger from 1990, Claudio Fragasso’s BEYOND DARKNESS! Released the same year as his more infamous, so-bad-it’s-good TROLL 2, both films starred Michael Stephenson as the tormented son of a father lacking any ability to tell that his family is in mortal danger. This one may suffer a bit from its actual cinematic competency compared to TROLL 2, but it’s still a wild ride of blasphemy, witches and exorcism. Welcome to our casa (5)!

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
