From Beyond Page #4

Synopsis: Dr. Edward Pretorius and his assistant, the physician Crawford Tillinghast, have developed the Resonator, a machine to stimulate the sixth sense through the pineal gland. When Crawford activates the apparatus, he sees creatures flying in the air and he summons Dr. Pretorius. The experiment goes out of control and Dr. Pretorius refuses to turn off the Resonator. Meanwhile their neighbor calls the police, and when the police officers arrive, they see Crawford trying to escape from his house and Dr. Pretorius beheaded. Crawford is sent to a mental institution under the supervision of the sadistic Dr. Bloch. However, the prominent psychiatrist Dr. Katherine McMichaels requests the custody of Crawford and Detective Bubba Brownlee that is investigating the case stays with them. Katherine goes with Crawford and Bubba to see the Resonator and turns the machine on. Dr. Pretorius returns in a mutant shape and attacks them, in the beginning of a gore night with weird life forms.

Well, we just have to try

the experiment again.

Did you say "we"?

Katherine, you can't.

You don't mean go back up there

now, do you?

You always run an experiment

twice to check the results.

Wait.

I saw it get to him, Katherine.

Just exactly what you're feeling

and it ruined him.

Pretorious.

Yes, I'd like to know more about him.

That resonator is a work of genius.

Were we in the same nightmare?

I mean didn't we just almost

all get eaten by an "it"?

All it takes is a hand on the switch.

If it appears you make it disappear.

I got a better idea. How about if

we disappear out the door?

Don't you understand?

This is the greatest discovery

since Van Leeuwenhoek first looked through

a microscope and saw an amoeba.

Yeah, but he wasn't down there

with the amoebas.

I have to find out if the pineal gland

is really the key.

OK fine. Fine, but not here. Not now.

Under controlled conditions.

But we have control. No one knows

that resonator better than you do.

You're right, and that's why

no one is touching it.

Crawford!

This could be the first step

in curing schizophrenia.

Crawford.

My father spent 15 years in

an institution - he died in one.

They called his condition incurable.

They tried everything.

Drugs, shock therapy, even surgery.

But they turned him into a vegetable.

I'm sorry.

We can save so many others.

Please, Crawford.

We can do it.

Help me.

Help you.

Help you to take your mind and shatter it?

I can't.

And I won't let you.

I'm the law here. You turn on that

machine, and it's reckless endangerment.

Look, we all need some rest.

Why don't we just get some sleep

and then we'll think about it.

Yeah, we'll get some rest

and then we're going.

Turn it off.

No.

I have to see more.

Feel more.

Turn it off.

No.

No. No.

We've got to stop it.

Don't stop.

I'm impressed, Crawford.

Do you realize now what I was creating?

Edward, my God, what have you become?

Myself.

Get the switch. I'll distract him.

Yes! I do find you distracting.

Don't! Crawford.

Listen to me.

Whatever you are, you're still Edward

Pretorious. You're still human.

More than human.

Join me, for ever.

Everyone must join me.

We'll be waiting for you, Crawford.

Where the hell are you going to now?

The circuit breaker.

I've got to turn it off.

Damn!

Smell.

Taste.

In another life I would have enjoyed you

in another way.

Messing with that damn machine again.

What the hell is that?

The vibrations must reach down here.

I'll be right back.

What are you gonna do to me?

I'm going to kiss you.

I'm sorry.

I really thought that I could control it.

It's changing us, doc.

All of us.

And not for the better.

I was wrong to turn on the resonator
