Sounds about right..

that ... or a combination of real and fake tarantulas.

No, they'll just eat the glue and latex

Yeah i own it but i bought the anchorbay release (The Beyond) alot better pic. quality and and not censored

I think I have that version as well. The picture is rather nice.

I just watched it. The one I bought is a widescreen edition and a Diamond release. It wasn't bad, but I have seen better. You could easily see the fake tarantulas against the real ones, and the close ups of faces being disfigured was quite obviously fake, but there were some good scenes.

I would have perferred the uncensored version, but for 7 bucks, who can bitch? Its a good addition to a gore hounds movie collection.

did it have the 2 'eyeball scenes' ?
one being a zombie thumb gouging .. and the other being a nail in the back of the head ?

Yeah. I liked both of those scenes! I thought the first death scene with the Worlock and the scourging with the chain and subsequent use of the quick-lime was rather good also.

what was cut out then ???

At the risk of sounding redundant, I again have to draw a comparison between this and Zombi 2. The Beyond has 2 eyeball scenes, which is at least 1 too many and neither one of them are done right. It's just "eyeball gets gouged one way or another, check out the gorey and shitty effects". The eye isn't just gouged and it's over, sure. It's gouged for a little bit.
However, Zombi 2 has 1 eyeball scene. This one is done right. The eyeball is going through the shard of wood. You know that the second the shard of wood is anywhere near the eye. But Fulci makes you sit and wait for it. And THEN they gouge the eye nice and slow like.

Maybe if I'd seen more than 2 Fulci movies I could compare The Beyond to something besides Zombi 2.
