Retro Blood 180: Beyond Evil (1980)

James Kline and J.H. Alison continue Killer Island Month with a John Saxon special—the supernatural horror flick Beyond Evil! The boys kick things off celebrating John Saxon’s greatness, followed by a discussion on 1980s special effects and whether this film pulls them off.

In the history segment, James dives into the May 1980 edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and shares a hilarious story about bringing a wrestling mag to school. Alison keeps things metal with a breakdown of SAXON’s Wheels of Steel album, a defining moment in early '80s heavy metal.

Then, it's on to the film’s production—covering director Herb Freed, the filming location, and how Herb and lead actress Lynda Day George got along.

Finally, the full movie review: green-glowing ghost lights, a bar that gets possessed repeatedly, John Saxon refusing to wear a shirt, island rituals, and all the supernatural weirdness this cult horror flick has to offer!
