## Resource

In this episode of Dads From The Crypt, we dive into the surreal, gore-soaked nightmare that is The Beyond from legendary Italian horror director Lucio Fulci. Joining us is special guest Whitney from the Oh My Horror Movie Challenge to break down one of the most iconic and unsettling films in horror history. We explore the film’s dreamlike storytelling, shocking practical effects, and its place in Fulci’s “Gates of Hell” trilogy. Is The Beyond a masterpiece of atmospheric horror or pure chaotic madness? We discuss standout scenes, zombie horror elements, the haunting score, and why this cult classic continues to disturb audiences decades later. If you're a fan of Italian horror, zombie movies, or extreme 80s gore, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
