Back in early autumn 1979,I saw this at the President theater in The Bronx with The Dark as the co-feature before the theater folded when I was only 8 years old back then. That's why I enjoy being an old schooler.
Wow, oh wow. This is another movie I saw as a young child at the drive in that I could never remember the name of. I always remembered scenes but not the name. It left a mark when I was 6 or 7 to have stayed with me all these years.
The film was actually a Mario Bava film called "Shock"; for it's US release they slapped the title "Beyond the Door II" onto the film because it had the same child actor from the original BTD film. Ironically, the people who dubbed the film pretty much ignored the renaming and dubbed the entire film per Bava's original script, and left the entire film uncut (a rarity for a Bava film).
I had my suspicion that that was the same little kid form BTD, but this proves it. So that was their right to tie BTD 2 in as a sequel? Can you say, "cash cow"?
I liked the movie though, and the story was quite sinister in it's own right.
And to have a film totally dubbed in the original script? Hell yeah it's rare, considering how they altered"Black Sabbath" and "Mask Of Satan" (for fear
Funny you mention Black Sabbath; the English dub of Black Sabbath is largely favored over the uncut version (partly because Boris Karloff's segment is in English and you can hear his voice). Sadly, the rights issues over the US version of that film (and a couple of other Bava films that were dubbed, like The Girl Who Knew Too Much, another Bava film where the US dub is considered superior to the original uncut version) are screwed up and can't be released on DVD.
Yeah the American version with Karlof's voice was cool.
"Dream about me, we'll be friends!" lol
Karloff's voice was truly unique and I can see why they would choose the American version. To this day his name is still mentioned with great respect, and should be for all time. Hey man, he was The Grinch too, how cool is that? lol ;)
I myself have considered him the king of classic horror for many years
I actually saw this at a drive-in when I was about 4 years old. Iv'e seen it recently but the only scene I remember when I was a kid was the part where the mom fell over the rake and you could see hands crawling up her legs.

Mish-mash, Italian horror movie exploitation trash. Originally titled "Shock," with a name change to exploit the success of BTD 1.
