But regardless, there is some quality TV here that seems like a close cousin to “ The Thing” This film managed to focus on the idea of the pineal gland (sixth sense) and its effect on the brain. It dips into sci-fi and horror with results that emerge out of nasty looking deformed creatures. “From Beyond” was one of those lost souls of a film that took decades to come onto DVD. Lovecraft material is weird enough on its own, though when its brought into he film realm it can be quite bizarre to behold. The 3rd act brings the whole concept into play with a society that literally morphs, merges and interacts with each other on a highly bizarre organic level….crazy sh*t. This was easily one of the most unassuming weird films from the late 80’s.

Society manages to incorporate all sort of metaphors about fitting in, becoming a member of society, contributing to society.and so on. I’ll also list additional selections below that would qualify for this category. Though due to many of these lists including some of the same films (that really aren’t “that” weird”), I tend to believe that many haven’t seen enough “outside the box” films to make an adequate listing. Take your pick, this is quite the eclectic collective.įYI – As of this posting, I have made an effort to check out what others thought were weird horror films (lists that is)….and it appeared that the term weird gets lost and confused with “disturbing” (as in “Human Centipede” is more disturbing than it is weird). I’ve seen these all and they leave pretty bizarre memories. Though I’ve kept it minimal to allow for other entries of genre films to get recognition. Those Asian write some crazy sh*t, pretty much on a regular basis. Now out of consideration, I could easily fill this list with ALL Asian films. You know what I’m talking about….a group of teens go on a road trip, campers terrorized by woods folks, slasher has rough childhood and grows up, scientist’s secret virus gets loose.shall I go on? In any case, you might change your whole perspective by occasionally throwing on something that is far outside of mainstream and richly inventive.

If your like me, you find yourself frequently growing tired of redundancy in the horror market.
