I hate to be the guy that judges foreign films based on the translations, but the dubbing in this flick is so bad that I couldn't get into the movie as much as I wanted to. Much of my misery was caused by Elke Sommer's dub "actress" who was so whinny and grading that the tortures of the sadistic Baron looked quite tolerable in comparison.
There really needed to be a subtitling option on the DVD.
I honestly didn't know it was dubbed!
I thought the movie was actually scary.
The music coincided well with the eerie atmosphere.
I love the music and it is quite a good movie despite the dubbing, but would be a much better one without it.

Those are both good. Have you seen 'The Long Hair Of Death'? It's a bit like BS except that the "witches" are the protagonists (closer to real life). If you're looking for anther good Bava movie, check out 'Twitch Of The Death Nerve' or 'Kill, Baby, Kill' Have you seen anything by Dario Argento? He's made a lot of good Italian horror...

'From Beyond' is a Stuart Gordon effort. 'The Sentinel' was made by Michael Winner (though, frankly, I don't think he had a winner with 'The Sentinel'. Just sayin')
Dario Argento is this guy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000783/reference

I won't judge you if you liked it. I'll just be judging your taste, ar-ar! Anyway, I'm sure you're like Argento.

I like 'Suspiria', but I think he phoned in the ending. Most people think it's Argento's best, but I think he's done better, like 'Deep Red' or 'Phenomena' Check those out.
'Suspiria' does have a pretty coherent plot, it's just that they surreal imagery is place front and center so it's kind of easy to focus all your attention on that.

You might also like 'Zombi'. It's the only Fulci horror movie I can think of that DOES have a coherent story.

It's a Lucio Fulci movie, so bad things happen to eyes (this one is no exception)

Here's a scene from 'The Beyond' which will help you get the idea about Fuci's hatred for eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdTqRntlb_s
You might not like 'The Beyond' as much though, as it doesn't have a very coherent plot.
is the same movie where they go to a hospital near the end of the movie and then get trapped by zombies in the hospital and the main characters end up in limbo, or is that another Fulci movie?
If this is the movie where the two main characters attempt to escape and are in a hospital and they end up in limbo, then I've seen this movie before.
That's the one. How'd you'd like it?
shareIt was good. I saw it, I think on TV or DVD, a few years ago and earlier in the 80's.
What other horror movies do you recommend?
The ending was so bizarre & the music eerie!
Werewolf Of London
Island Of Terror (I think it's only on VHS still)
Flesh For Frankenstein
Blood For Dracula
Terror Firmer (if you're a Troma fan; you might be a little lost otherwise as it is made up of inside-jokes. Well, there is still some stuff you'll get otherwise but being familiar with Troma helps)
Night Of The Creeps
Silver Bullet (based on 'Cycle Of The Werewolf' by Steven King)
Old Dark House
Homicidal
Straight-Jacket
Basket Case 1-3
Brain Damage
Slither
Big Ass Spider
Them!
Bloodbath At The House Of Death
The Tingler
It's Alive!

If you like Kevin VanHentenryck in those movies, you should check out 'Brain Damage'; he has a cameo where he's...holding a basket. Bwahaha!

See also, 'The Toxic Avenger'. I don't really consider it a horror flick, but it has those elements to it.

You mean besides macabre *beep* Well, I like 'Argo'. Sure, it's a mainstream Oscar-flick, but I liked it anyway. Call it a guilty pleasure.
'Gold Rush' is another favorite. You gotta love any movie where someone eats his shoe. I've always said that.
TV-shows? 'Naked City' is terrific (it's also a movie), 'Mork & Mindy' is also terrific for the first three seasons (there's a reasons it only lasted four. It was turning into shazbot). I've started watching a show I haven't heard of until about a week ago when I picked the entire series up from the library; it's an action/marital arts show called 'Cobra' staring Micheal 'American Ninja' Dudikoff! Well worth checking out if you're in the mood for a good b-action rush! Warning: 'Cobra' is not for vegans as it is chock-full of cheese.

'Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls' is "not a sequel; there has never been anything like it!" That's the tagline, but it's actually more of a parody
"I've heard of Night of the Hunter & This is Spinal Tap, but I've never seen either movie, yet."
See them; see them now! Your god commands you! (You're god being me, of course)
Wait, you've never heard of 'Animal House'? I'm not sure that's true. Come to think of it, I should have put that one in the "more conventional" list.
Oh, have you seen 'Crimewave'? It's a very offbeat, very dark comedy written by the Cohen Brothers and directed by Sam Rami (a perfect match, actually). Basically it's a spoof of poverty row crime-thrillers from the thirties and forties and it plays like a Three Stoogers film on every drug imaginable. You might have fun with that one.
Oh yea, I've heard of Animal House. I just haven't ever seen it.
I've also never heard of "Crimewave." Sounds like a good movie.
What are you up to?
I'm listening to an ASMR video.
I'm reading an article online that may give me some ideas for a novella I'm writing (which will probably go nowhere as all my projects do, but what the hell? Need some way to kill time while time kills you, right?)
I've never heard of ASMR. Is it anything like GWAR?

what's gwar? LOL
asmr is just a relaxation technique that sends a tingling sensation in your head and back.

Do you read often? Are you a fan of Joe R. Lansdale?
The original actors spoke English too. It was the way that these films were made in Italy, they didn't record the voices during the shoot, it was easier to record them in the studio afterward.
