Episode 111: Beyond the Darkness featuring Mark Hensley

Mark Hensley is back and they’ve brought a recent discovery with Beyond the Darkness (1979).  Prolific Italian filmmaker Joe D’Amato sends us down a psycho-sexual path through taxidermy and lost love. After the death of his girlfriend, a man preserves the body forever and this upsets his “wet nurse” who placates her anger by offering him sexual favors and cleaning up his messy kills.  It’s a wild, gory ride with, maybe, the only instance of a love triangle that involves a corpse but at least is ridiculous and committed.  Any way you slice it, it's got us in stitches and it offers up the kinds of questions that can’t help but make us laugh.  That’s right, despite all the entrails and weird sexual practices we’re having a very good time with this one and you can too, tune in!
