From Beyond The Grave (1973): Part 1/10

[meadowlane37]

the title sequence-is this Highgate cemetery.?

[meadowlane37]

this is a great horror film , love these opening titles, the music is so atmopsheric.

[BlaqNebula1]

Like most old horror movies I watched as a child, I remember this one from a Saturday show called “feature double creature.” wow, where did the years go. Thanks for the upload.

[bowler8]

they arent all touching, so it wont work

[theoutremerlibrary]

CUUUUMMM! YOU mussst feed MEEE!!! WHOW BUDDY ! Not from THIS milkbar !

[fuzzballzz36]

Neville Smallwood...what a terribly unfortunate last name!

[SuperPatrick777]

@fuzzballzz36 pleae explain ?

[fuzzballzz36]

@SuperPatrick777 Oh, it was just a dumb penis joke on my part (small wood?) ..and I'm a woman, so I'm not exactly Beavis and Butthead, but these things do occur to me sometimes. P.S. The name Neville Smallwood is in the credits, just in case you didn't see it.

[SuperPatrick777]

@fuzzballzz36 well well , you learn somthing new every day .

[bakhtn]

@fuzzballzz36 yes but he could always say, my name is smallwood but im anything but small

[fuzzballzz36]

@bakhtn I suppose he could, if he was that forward. Now i want to read a biography of Mr. Smallwood to see what he was like.

[SuperPatrick777]

a classic

[yellowbrickroadss1]

Yes indeed. I have an "Amica" oven and just today I was roasting some bangers and they hissed and screamed under the grill so it just might warrant an upload.

[Buckeyecat2002]

Anthology film from Amicus adapted from four short stories by R. Chetwynd-Hayes strung together about an antique dealer who owns a shop called Temptations Ltd. and the fate that befalls his customers who try to cheat him. Stories include "The Gate Crasher" with David Warner who frees an evil entity from an antique mirror, "An Act of Kindness" featuring Donald Pleasence, "The Elemental", and "The Door".

[02Blackbeard]

@Buckeyecat2002 Have you read the stories?

[MARVIA35]

the guy that was in the dream trance @7:20 looks like professor snape from harry potter.

[Flamingboy100]

I've always loved this film......it's spooky.

[hardyfh1]

A mini-masterpiece, from the days when horror appealed to the imagination rather than merely to the senses.

[richwicz]

The organ music at the beginning with all the sound FX and chanting is great, very creepy!

[Jquuest]

I almost didn't recognize David Warner in the first segment.

[thekarlos1974]

Omg just found this&so many other great 70's horror movies on youtube.thanx 4 the upload guys.these movies scared the shit out of me as a kid,i'm now enjoying a great nostalga trip

[derek1969able]

ripcruncher1 thanks for that, its nice to know these bits of info.

[derek1969able]

but you are safe with this mirror, unless you have a seance!!

[derek1969able]

anyone know where the opening scenes were filmed??

[RipCruncher1]

@derek1969able ~ Highgate Cemetary.  London.

[missjacko1]

@RipCruncher1 RipCruncher, do you have any idea what the film was called with Peter Cushing played a kind old man and the neigbour wanted him out the area and made up false accusations against him. I think it was short stories like these. Thanks in advance x

[jack34776]

@missjacko1 ya it was called tales from the crypt great movie

[missjacko1]

@jack34776 Thanks Jack, was the movie I was looking for, and indeed it is a great movie. I do love these 70s horror films from the uk so interesting. Thanks again x

[johnbarry1965]

@missjacko1 The film is called "Tales from the crypt" !

[SuperPatrick777]

@johnbarry1965

not true

[grosskopf2]

Love the old British Horror shows. They just don't make them like this anymore.

[jegspillerpiano]

If I ever go to party and they say "let's hold a sceane", I'm out of there!

[jegspillerpiano]

Is this the one where a guy escapes into a painting, but goes into the wrong one at the end (a crucifiction scene!)?

[strangefurt64]

@jegspillerpiano

what you're thinking of is "escape route" -an episode of rod serling's "night gallery" . you can find it on youtube.

[jegspillerpiano]

@strangefurt64 thanks

[strangefurt64]

@jegspillerpiano

no worries mate!

[zoeydebra]

That was a scary movie!

[PresenceUponMe]

I didn't know Simon Lebon was an actor too : D

[asubjectiveopinion]

"You have to make sure that you get good acting talent; people who don't think that the idea of a horror film is a big joke."

[FK42]

hammer or amicus ?

[TheTurdmonster]

Cor blimey me maties, I was terrorfied, messin my pants watchin this

[boardskins]

Prof Snape!

[garyman219]

1 queer dislike

[cbaile]

David Warner is smooth like silk. Love that guy.

[KATHRYN10675]

love these old movies

[akiratubo]

Everyone seems to think of Amicus as mini-Hammer but Amicus productions actually have a different flavor from Hammer. They both made plenty of darn fine movies.

[MrsNorris55]

8:12 - thanks, I think I'll just have a nice quiet heart attack about now, LOL

[irisferguson]

Heh heh! Lookin' for a girl, guv' nor? Eh? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink say no more, love a duck, etc.

[buckass]

Thanks for uploading!

I think I am subscribed to another of your channels but it got closed down

[annaesse]

What a wonderful line-up of actors! Thank you for uploading this film.

[ArcDodelijk]

5 quid a night? jesus f christ

[xpinay4lifex]

haha british prostitutes. great film, thank you for uploading!

[owlzowlz]

What the fvck was that at 01:04..?  (I love this stuff!)

[sadferg]

it takes only peter cushing to turn a horror movie into magic

[JoanCollins2009]

@sadferg

you can say that again he is magic

[sadferg]

@JoanCollins2009 he sure is and i will

[fodsaks]

Peter Cushing shouldn't really be included with the alphabetical list.

Surely it should have been:

PETER CUSHING

With

etc, etc,

[video77ab]

this was an awesome movie, thanks for uploading it 

[66bluedonkeys]

These old portmanteau's are a joy to watch. Peter Cushing at his best, alas only a cameo appearance. 5★'s

[zhangfortang2]

well not that I think a movie of this quality should be on you tube we don't live in a world where you buy movies anymore so it is a good thing its here. Much wisdom in this movie

[LionRock08]

i fully agree. i can even remember as a kid the a poster for the film just by the Old Kent Rd/New Kent Rd flyover and thinking that looked creepy. Amicus were a wonderful company and it was great time for British horror. it was magical being nine years old and seeing these film late night on ITV. they used to absolutely scare the shit out of me.

[iamnotaplatypus]

I think this is probably the creepiest of all the Amicus portmanteau horror's. Over 30 years later and I still have to watch with the light on!.

[darthneji1992]

I hate pop-ups! One minute I'm fixated on the seance scene and suddenly I'm thrown off by a voice saying use lysol to get rid of 99.9% of germs -_-. Anyway I loved tales from the crypt and sorta liked vault of horror, so I'm giving this one a whirl. :)

[kurisutokaochan]

Hey, recognize a couple actors from Man About the House in this clip!

[neil73]

"Feeeeeeeed meeeeeeee" - So he makes him some sandwiches!

[GOINGINSAINSBURYS]

Thanks for uploading this stuff; I never tire of watching the Amicus and Hammer productions.

[rem2267]

5 Quid and no hurry??!!? We ain't in Kansas anymore.

[medinaman1979]

awsome upload, thanks. do you know if any tv network ever does like a marathon of these movies, like the chiller network maybe?

[britelite2657]

ah like diss its gud

[goodbyelonglive44]

Yup best movies and best productions of art ever

hey i watched a one in which people go to a house and to make a movie, aparently most of the crew are dead souls more than thousand years..

[zardozkid]

I remember watching this when it first showed in the 70's...when there was three tv channels and weekend late night horror.

So glad to see it again after all these years.

Thanks!

[Karloffrules]

Excuse me for a rant: the scariest thing I find about some film (not even of the horror genre) is the [expletive deleted} two to five minutes of credits AT THE BEGINNING of the film!!!!!!

Ahem, that was my rant. I am tranquil now...and circumspect (breathing). Thank you.

[DaniHarmerFan1983]

In a way this is "Tales from the crypt 3"

[GoldenLegends]

there is not enough sex in this film

[opendtuning]

Iam hoping this is the one with the lonely guy who takes this female mannequin home with him and he worships her...superb piece of drama...

[fifirockefeller]

Concentrate on emptying your mind!

.

*melts into a puddle of giggles*

.

I remember trying to do seances as a kid - none of us knew how to do anything - this is why - we all got it from t.v.

.

This show is great! Thank you so much for posting this.

[topmate78]

BODY BAG

[alivepool]

Im having trouble figuring out this one antholgy horror film it has one story about a kid who has a plush tiger that turns into a real tiger and kills people,another with a antique bike that travels to the early 1900s,and one with this guys who finds this wierd tree that comes to life I dont know the title of it and havent seen it in years

[dawnelegood]

@alivepool Just saw your comment about the film you were looking for, it's Tales that Witness Madness, I bet you've found it already but worth a try.

[SophiaIsWise]

Thanks for posting! I've been looking for this and only able to find previews. I remember seeing the middle of this movie on the Saturday Thriller Double Feature. I always wanted to see it in its entirety. Amicus is the best of the best for horror. I love how they focus on the story and not the elements. That's why the British are off the chain at making horror films.

[chestnutsev7]

another fine piece of work from amicus.

[TheLizardmonkey]

@chestnutsev7 Amicus are just incredible. Subotsky was a beyond genius. Cosy, but slick, classy horror!

[Marillionboy]

I'm thrilled this is on here, I started watching this as a child and was sent to bed and have never seen it since! The Amicus compendiums are really very underrated, Tales from the Crypt is beautifully shot and all the stories are first rate.

[Ericzeppe]

Not the first episode with joan collins. that one was lame.

[GgreatWwhite]

These old British horror films are an absolute pleasure to watch! They have a flavour which is absolutely unique, and I hope that this style of filmmaking makes a comeback.

Long live '70s and '80s British horror - one of the great simple pleasures of life!

[goodbyelonglive44]

@GgreatWwhite are you a great white british?

[vampiramada]

@GgreatWwhite:

 I agree 100% !

[Noodles37UK]

@GgreatWwhite Not latching on to your thumbs ups, but i couldn't agree more. Saying to someone the other day how i truly regret giving away my collection of Corgis and Pans. The old paperback anthologies weren't to be read before sleeping on your own. These films made use of creepy harpsichord sounds

[videolung]

@GgreatWwhite I completely agree with you, I wish they could come back too.

[brennybigwednesday]

@GgreatWwhite I totally agree with every word old chap well said!!

I've just watched the beast must die...... what a film, I was only born in 79 but I was there a bit.

Long live them!!

[Amingr]

@GgreatWwhite that's what everyone says but i can't quite get it; is it because old British horror movies had some bizarre sense of humour at the end? or is it because they had less gore and more insinuation than the American equivalents?

[DerekBayRoberts1]

That's David Warner, he's probely best known for being decapitated in 1976s "The Omen".

[drfatpig78]

Anyone remember a film where an old lady on a train says:

You've got an elementary on your shoulder?

And then the man turns round at the end and says 'I am Jennifer'

[bronxmom]

@drfatpig78 I think that is this one..Margaret Leighton is the old lady

[jamiewhittle]

this takes me back remember after you watched it you went to bed with cover over your head and every single noise or house creek made you think somthing or body was there, the 1970s british horrors was and are the best, can you imagin an american re make, it lose the magic nd have to be set in usa to make the yanks get it lol

[COLONEL961]

yeah,i thought vampires were at my bedroom window

[smiler418]

carnt believe im watching this again havent seen it since i was a nipper lol hammer and the studio that dripped blood amicus the pioneers of modern horror

[MegaLeedavid]

In my opinion Amicus was a better maker of horror films then the overhyped Hammer!!!

[richardsnow]

Great, haven't seen this for years!

Now I'm looking for "And Then the screaming starts"

[rem2267]

@richardsnow -- You were close with the title. It's "And NOW the Screaming Starts." I have it on tape, TCM plays it often enough, usually around Halloween time. Peter Cushing is just SO marvelous in that. I hope you cam find it somewhere. e-bay, maybe? And you will never see Herbert Lom's Inspector Dreyfuss (Pink Panther movies) in the same light again.

[richardsnow]

@rem2267  cheers

I managed to get it on DVD from ebay. Still as creepy all these years on.

[rem2267]

@richardsnow - Oh, I am glad for you, esp being able to get the DVD version. The painting in the beginning sets the tone of the entire film. Gives me as case if the willies even just remembering it. Enjoy!

[HELLO2YOU3]

I was 10 first time round when seen this.

You can stick your elm st shit up your arse,

Theses are the films that have you going to bed and leaving the bathroom light on

[FetidToecheese]

This scared the SHIT out of me when I was a kid. Horror films back then were genuinely creepy, scary things that stayed with you after the lights had gone out, not the cheap thrills you get nowadays

[odraconiandevil79]

I scared me too as a kid. I had nightmares about mirrors!

[CTHULHUSURVIVOR]

Hey everybody, it's SEANCE time!

Okay, kudos to the writer and director for getting right into the spookiness within minutes, but where is the logic? Did the guy do something to justify being terrorized by the thing in the mirror? Once he suspects something, can't he just get rid of it?

[DCNY31279]

Cushing almost reminds me of Marty Feldman in this picture.

[diddymuck]

Peter cushing looks horrid.

[g3abesh]

fuck amicus

[g3abesh]

great movie

[dec222222]

i believe the opening cemetery scenes were filmed at the famous london highgate cemetery .

[dimsdale321]

Know if it was the same cemetary at the start of Tales from the crypt 1972? cause it looks very similar.

[dec222222]

if you click on my page dec222222 this will you take you on to my favourites . the main screen has the walk in highgate cemetery video with an amazing soundtrack . the array of catacombs and vaults clearly are the same as the opening scenes above .

[dimsdale321]

What i meant was, the opening scene to 'Tales from the crypt' (1972) is similar to this, and the cemetery in that looks incredibly similar also. I was wondering, do you know if it was the same cemetery as this one?. Seeing as both movies were made by Amicus, i wouldn't at all be surprised. But i still don't know for sure.

[dec222222]

yes they are both filmed at highgate both films have the same crypts and the centrery box looking catacoombs at section 0:43 - 1:01 appear in both films . other amicus classics include . the house that dripped blood. dr terrors house of horrors . and torture garden . there's nothing to beat these 1970's ENGLISH horror films from the amicus studios .

[gerrad1973]

@dec222222 agree 100 % Dec

~I was only born in 1973 - but i love these films - nothing like them....

[ozzymandi]

Love this !

Thank you so very much

[grogfrog]

Oh yes lets hold a Seance!! What a wonderful idea! lol

[misterrightuk]

Five quid. Bargin. Lol.

[3062140]

best compendium

[GoblinXXX]

Lines that signal certain DOOM in motion pictures #1347: "Let's hold a seance!"
