The "Gates Of Hell" trilogy is an unofficial "trilogy" consisting of three Lucio Fulci films:
City of the Living Dead (1980 film), AKA The Gates of Hell, Twilight of the Dead, and Paura nella città dei morti viventi
The Beyond (1981 film) AKA L'aldilà and Seven Doors of Death
The House by the Cemetery (1981 film) AKA Quella villa accanto al cimite
CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD: In this gory Lucio Fulci splatter film, a reporter and a psychic race to Dunwich to close the Gates of Hell after the suicide of a clergyman caused them to open, allowing the dead to rise from the grave.
THE BEYOND: Louisiana's haunted Seven Doors Hotel has been home to a string of bizarre and supernatural tragedies, beginning with the lynching of a warlock in the hotel's cellar in 1927. When a young woman tries to re-open the hotel, she inadvertently opens one of the "Seven Doors of Death", allowing the dead to return to Earth.
THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY: A plot that revolves around a series of murders taking place in the Oak Mansion – a New England home which happens to be hiding a particularly gruesome secret within its basement walls.
