"Come on, you filthy pig. Lick the vile whore's vomit!" Thanks, but no thanks. Not hungry. (Sheesh!) Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they bravely, but maybe foolishly, take a look Beyond the Door!

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 98 – Beyond the Door (1974)

Juliet Mills plays a young pregnant woman in San Francisco who is going to have the devil's baby during her strange possession. Richard Johnson shows up to help her... but what does he really want?

IMDb

• Directors: Ovidio G. Assonitis (as O. Hellman), Robert Barrett (as R. Barrett)
• Writers: Ovidio G. Assonitis (as O. Hellman), Robert Barrett, Antonio Troiso
• Featured Cast:
  • Juliet Mills as Jessica Barrett
  • Gabriele Lavia as Robert Barrett
  • Richard Johnson as Dimitri
  • Barbara Fiorini as Gail Barrett
  • David Colin Jr. as Ken Barrett
  • Nino Segurini as Dr. George Staton
  • Elizabeth Turner as Barbara Staton (as Elisabeth Turner)
  • Carla Mancini as Mrs. Francis

Beyond the Door is one of those films that tripped Doc's trigger at a young age and he tells a fun story about his first viewing. He admites it's a bad movie but several of the movie's scenes still give him nightmares. The rest of the Grue Crew's opinions aren't so favorable. In fact, Chad and Jeff wish they'd watched Godmonster of Indian Flats again and Jeff begin thinking about buying the Godmonster Blu-ray. Chad also comments on the son's addiction to eating Campbell's Pea Soup through a straw from the can while Jeff obsesses over the nose flute. Bill professes a fondness for Juliet Mills and is very impressed with the trailer. Even though Beyond the Door wasn't a favorite, Bill, Chad, and Jeff agree there are some pretty scary scenes in the film, possibly agreeing with Roger Ebert's review calling it "scary trash."

Doc gives Beyond the Door a hearty recommendation, cautioning listeners not to confuse it with Behind the Green Door. The balance of the Grue Crew is a bit more reserved in their recommendation. If you are so inclined, at the time of this writing, Beyond the Door is streaming on Amazon Prime.

"If you're going to race with the devil, you've got to be as fast as Hell!" An RV might not be the best way to go "fast as hell," but hey, it is the 70s. Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they "speed" across Texas in an RV with Loretta Swit, Lara Parker, Warren Oates, and Peter Fonda in a desperate attempt to escape a Satanic cult in Race with the Devil.

Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 97 – Race with the Devil (1975)

Two couples vacationing together in an R.V. from Texas to Colorado are terrorized after they witness a murder during a Satanic ritual.

IMDb

• Director: Jack Starrett
• Writers: Lee Frost, Wes Bishop
• Featured Cast:
  • Peter Fonda as Roger Marsh
  • Warren Oates as Frank Stewart
  • Loretta Swit as Alice
  • Lara Parker as Kelly
  • R.G. Armstrong as Sheriff Taylor
  • Jack Starrett as Gas station attendant
  • Wes Bishop as Deputy Dave

Race with the Devil is a paranoia-drenched race through Texas in a quintessential 70s RV complete with an explosion; two rattlesnakes; a gun battle; devil worshippers; a nekkid sacrifice; and some 4-vehicle smash-and-crash action between an RV, a straight truck, a wrecker, and a pickup! Bill is lukewarm about the film but has high praise for Peter Fonda's acting ability, just not necessarily in this film. Bleak endings are one of Chad's things and Race with the Devil's conclusion measures right up there with the bleakest of the bleak. He also points out how Kelly's importance grows as the story progresses, giving Lara Parker a role into which to sink her teeth. Doc has a love of movies that include a figurative race, ala Vanishing Point (1971), and considers Race with the Devil to be a classic. Considering his love of The Car (1977), he is also very happy to see R. G. Armstrong in this film. The cast members are all it took to get Jeff on board but he also discovered some information of interest to him about the director, Jack Starrett.

So if you feel the need to experience an RV drive across Texas with some classic 70s actors experiencing significant Satanic panic, Ride with the Devil is just the ticket. And if you're really psyched about catching this film, you can even find it on a double feature Blu-ray from Shout Factory paired with Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974).

"I can't believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species... But if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it's possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again." Of course, Godzilla appeared in the world again, many, many times! Join this episode's Grue Crew - Chad Hunt, Whitney Collazo, and Jeff Mohr - as they go back to 1954 when it all started with Godzilla (original title: Gojira).

Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Episode 58 – Godzilla (1954)

American nuclear weapons testing results in the creation of a seemingly unstoppable, dinosaur-like beast.

With the 31 May 2019 release date of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) looming large on the horizon, the Grue Crew decided it was time to cover the original classic from Toho, Godzilla (Gojira, 1954), one of the all-time greats! They also dip a bit into the American version, Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956).

Chad loves all the Godzilla films but this one is special and has a much darker, almost nightmarish, tone than 1960s Godzilla fare. He also talks about how Akira Ifukube created Godzilla's roar. As a youngster, Whitney was introduced to Godzilla films by her brothers and she found the monster itself to be intimidating and movies to be entertaining. This time around, she spots Honda's artistic training in his filmmaking. Of course, Jeff dives into the historical relevance and discovers some of the reasons behind the decisions made in the American version. Joseph finds the drama and weight given to the human characters to be extraordinary, giving the military versus the scientist conflict more depth.

The Grue Crew all agree that Godzilla is much more than a monster movie and deserves its place as a genuine cinema classic.

The Decades of Horror: The Classic Era Grue Crew plan to release a new episode every other week. Hey, where else will you hear podcasts on films ranging from King Kong (1933) to Half Human (Jû jin yuki otoko, 1955) to The War of the Gargqantuas (1966)? The next episode in our very flexible schedule will be the first Amicus portmanteau, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965).

Please send us feedback on the films we cover, ideas for future films, or the podcast itself. After all, without you, we're just four horror freaks talking about the films we love.
