            BEYOND THE DOOR aka CHI SEIThe film begins with a narration: the same voice we will hear for the devil (Robert Booth) later. It is explained that Dimitri (Richard Johnson) must locate Jessica Barrett (Juliet Mills) who is carrying the devils child. Jessica is shown naked, spread-eagled on an altar. It is as if she is looking at herself and is shocked and runs away. At one point we see her face transform into the face of Dimitri and back. Next we see Jessica and Dimitri in close contact. Jessica, frightened, runs away.Dimitri is seen driving his car when the voice speaks to him of finding the woman and her unborn child. He promises to extend the life of Dimitri for this. Unfortunately, the devil has other ideas. Dimitri drives off a mountain road to avoid hitting a van in the middle of the road. He is killed as the car falls into the sea.Jessica pulls up on a street in San Francisco with the children Gail (Barbara Fiorini) and Ken (David Colin Jr.) in the back seat of her car. She is picking up her husband Robert (Gabriele Lavia), who tries to hop in the car unsuccessfully. Jessica opens the door for him and off they go. He tells Jessica that they have a new record called BARGAIN WITH THE DEVIL. Gail is reading a copy of LOVE STORY and Ken is drinking pea soup out of a can with a straw. When he finishes the soup, the can is thrown out onto the street as they drive on. Gail asks Ken about the nickname he gave his father. Ken says it was a**hole. Both Robert and Jessica notice that the kids are speaking with profanities. Robert suggests a psychiatrist for the kids, but Jessica claims Gail draws her language from the book.Ken is seen carrying another soup can in one hand and a wrapped present in the other. Gail unloads several copies of the book from the car and is almost hit by a passing motorist. She curses the driver.Inside, discussion is ongoing about Ken's upcoming birthday party. Gail is making a cake from scratch. As she pours ingredients into the mixing bowl, she announces the names of each one as poisons and rotten fruits. Robert is reading a book about fish. Jessica, standing on a ladder, hangs decorations on the wall. She tells Robert that next time it will be his turn to decorate. She says she will have to avoid ladders by that time. He asks what she means and she tells him she is pregnant. It is definite.Next we see the party and candles on the cake. Barbara Staton (Elizabeth Turner as Elisabeth Turner) is helping out with the party. Robert comes in asking for Jessica. He hears retching coming from the bathroom and enters to find Jessica coughing up blood. She tells him she feels the baby is suffocating her, trying to kill her. He reassures her that everything will be all right. She says she doesn't want to have the baby. He replies that they will talk about it later. He leaves to rejoin the party and she tries to compose herself. Looking in the mirror, she sees Dimitri looking at her through a window. When she turns to look, he is gone.Jessica is talking to her doctor George Staton (Nino Segurini) who is also a friend of the family and the husband of Barbara. He confirms that the pregnancy is certain but that instead of seven weeks she is three months along. She is baffled by this news.Robert and Jessica are seen eating outside and discussing the pregnancy. She suggests names for the baby. He says we can draw a name out of a hat. Surprised, she insists that the name is important because it shapes the destiny of the child.Jessica is browsing through some old photographs. She is suddenly upset to find one of her and Dimitri. She turns it face down. Standing, she seems angry and picks up a glass ashtray. She throws it at the aquarium, breaking the glass and causing an outflow of water and fish. Ken is seen watching from another window.Jessica tells Robert on the phone about what happened, saying she wanted to break the glass. It wasn't an accident.That night an ominous voice and heavy breathing are heard in the bedroom. The covers are slowly pulled down from Jessica and Robert. Ken watches in the darkness. Jessica sits up and stands. Next we see her levitating and floating around the room.Later Robert is pensive. The floors are covered in wet spots. Jessica comes out of a door, drenched. He asks what happened to her and where she's been. She begins weeping softly on his shoulder.Robert meets for lunch with George, telling him what happened. The doctor confesses that he is worried about the pregnancy, which is developing at an unnatural rate. He says he has consulted with experts and can't recall any case like this one. Dimitri is seen observing them from another window. The doctor suggests someone close to Jessica should try to find out what's going on in her head. Barbara is suggested.Barbara and Jessica are driving and talking. Jessica complains that Robert has changed and she can't tell what he will do or when he will do it. She confesses she'd rather go away in a sailboat and escape from her troubles. Barbara asks about Dimitri but Jessica replies that she hasn't seen him since that one night they met and she walked off and left him standing there.That night a fire is seen breaking out in the bathroom. Ken screams and his sister asks what's wrong. She tells him to be quiet and go back to sleep. Robert demands Gail open the door which was locked. He tells her she is never supposed to lock the door. She denies locking it. Robert looks at Ken, noticing a strange bruising mark on his chest. As Jessica comes in the room, Robert tells her that Ken has a fever and he will call the doctor. Jessica kneels down by the bed and kisses Ken on the mouth.In the morning Dr. George examines Ken and concludes that he has a fever, nothing serious. Asking about the bruise, Robert is told it's nothing unusual. Gail doesn't like the implication that she had something to do with the bruise. George suggests Ken looks a little thin. Gail reveals that Jessica slips something to Ken. Jessica slaps Gail and is reprimanded by Robert. She says she is sick of Gail's lies.George tells Jessica in his office that her pregnancy is rapidly accelerating and that it is not unusual for her to have strange feelings. She confesses that she wants an abortion, saying she is scared of the baby. She's afraid she will go mad. He suggests that abortion be considered as a last resort. When she hears that he is for the abortion, her voice and character change, accusing him of being a murderer. She tells George that the child is hers and no one will take him away from her. Threatening to kill anyone who wants to harm the child, Jessica turns to leave. George tries to phone Robert but is told he is out.Jessica goes walking the streets. In a window she sees reflected the image of Dimitri watching her. When she turns to look, he is not there. She wanders into a shop and buys a doll. Walking on, she hears many voices talking and laughing in her head. At one point she looks down and sees a banana peel on the sidewalk which has obviously been there awhile. She picks it up and begins to eat it.In his room, Ken talks to an unseen friend, telling him to sit in the rocking chair. The chair is seen to rock back and forth. Gail enters and almost sits in the chair. She is told not to by Ken. She says his friend can only be seen by Ken, who twists a doll's head around backwards. Gail tells Ken to be quiet, saying he might disturb Jessica who is resting. The dolls seem to be coming alive and begin moving. Ken asks Gail if the dolls do things when they're gone out. She says they probably do things and go all over the house. She would like to see them walking around. Ken says he would not like to see that and tells her he is very hungry. She agrees to go get something to eat.In the kitchen Gail retrieves a cold dessert on a plate. Children's songs are heard involving the names of Gail and Ken. Meanwhile the dolls are walking and moving around. Gail returns to the room with the plate and sets it down. Ken licks his mouth to indicate he is looking forward to the sweet treat. Suddenly there is a roaring in the room. The plate is smashed on the wall and there is pandemonium. Dolls fly around and Gail and Ken struggle while the whole room quivers and shakes.Gail goes to Jessica's bedroom and calls for her. Jessica is lying face down. Her head turns unnaturally around backwards to look at Gail, who screams.Robert arrives home in the dark and unlocks the apartment door. Inside he finds a broken doll on the floor which he picks up. In the kitchen he asks Jessica what she is doing. She tells him that the children had a bad dream. He says it is only after eight o'clock. She seems surprised, but offers that they sleep sometimes in the day, being tired from playing. He asks what's wrong with her. She complains of being tired of what she sees every day. She tells him she sleeps to escape reality. When he shows concern, she angrily tells him to leave her alone and not to interfere in her personal affairs. She claims he gives her no room to breathe. He leaves the room in silence. Ken is seen watching.Robert looks in the children's room and sees all the furniture except the bed in the closet. Gail comes in and touches his hand, begging him to not leave her and Ken alone with mommy.On the street Robert buys a paper and looks at it. In the shop windows we see Dimitri watching him.

All of a sudden Robert is almost run down by a large truck. He is pulled out of the way by Dimitri.Dimitri tries to persuade Robert to trust him, saying he can help with Jessica. He can explain what is happening with her pregnancy and the strange moods of her and the children. Robert tells him to leave them alone and stop following him. Dimitri pleads that he listen or face great suffering. He tells Robert that he may be able to save Jessica and the one to come. He asks that Robert listen and make his own decision.

He promises not to follow Robert anymore, saying that with what is going to happen, Jessica will seek him. When Robert turns to look, Dimitri has vanished.Barbara is seen sitting with Jessica, asking how she is feeling. Jessica turns her head and one eye is seen rolling around unnaturally. Barbara takes a tissue and begins going over the face of Jessica. Jessica falls asleep and Barbara tries to talk to her. Suddenly loud noises are heard.

Heavy breathing and roaring are heard. The covers are shown rising and falling. George awakes to find the bed empty. Looking over to the chair, he sees Jessica perched there with demented eyes. She speaks in the demons voice, asking who are you? Then alternately Jessica's voice begs George to help her. As George looks on, the man's voice tells him to get out and curses him. Jessica asks George to help her, holding out her hand. Then the demon causes her to vomit green slime. She also speaks in a girls voice. The demon calls for Dimitri, saying he is waiting for him.

Inside Jessica is seen sitting up and watching. Dimitri collapses on the floor from exhaustion.Robert is seen approaching his car. George is waiting and wants to know why he left Jessica alone.

He is directed to the waterfront where he confronts a woman on a small houseboat. She tells him she used to know Dimitri and that he was well-thought-of in some circles. They say he could heal those others could not. George asks about Jessica. She remembers that Jessica was bewitched by him, although she suggests it was the other way around.

To All a Goodnight

A solar explosion reaches him immediately, and he passes out.Steve wakes up at hospital. Dr Leland Loring (Lisle Wilson) wonders aloud how he could survive, but the nurse (Bonnie Inch) can't give him an answer. He decides to call Dr. Ted Nelson (Burr DeBenning). He also stresses to her that Steve's condition must be kept secret. When both leave, Steve wakes up - his head has been completely bandaged, but he sees his monster hands. Taking away his bandages, he sees all the blisters. He becomes enrages. The nurse enters, sees him and runs away. There's nobody else in all the clinic, and monstruous Steve runs after her, who reaches the parking lot by going through a glass door.The two doctors check the dead body, and they find it died of radiation poisoning. They don't even know if it is a contagious condition. Ted phones General Michael Perry (Myron Healey), who insists in keeping the murder and everything secret. Steve has escaped into the woods, and he kills a fisherman (Samuel "Sam" W. Gelfman). Ted and Leland have a conversation in which Ted shows that he's feeling sympathetic towards Steve's plight. Perry phones Nelson at home, and he has to pretend that nothing is wrong in front of his wife Judy Nelson (Ann Sweeny). Outside, two boys (Stuart Edmond Rogers and Chris Witney) give a cigarette to their friend Carol (Julie Drazen), who finds it disgusting. She coughs, dislikes it and steps on it. They go playing, running around the forest. The girl gets lost and she finds the monster. She runs away in panic until she finds her mother (Leigh Mitchell), who tells her that Frankenstein (she refers to the Monster, not the doctor) doesn't exist. Nelson follows the radiation to the forest but can't find him. Sheriff Neil Blake (Michael Alldredge) is already investigating a murder. There is a photographer (Don Walters) who is pushed away. The body looks weird, and the locals get nervous. Nelson says that it must have been a bear, while Perry tries to hide his face. The photographer takes a picture of Nelson and Perry. West wanders aimlessly. Perry will have dinner with the Nelsons and reminds Nelson to keep quiet about their task. Nell Winters (Janus Blythe) and Matt Winters (Jonathan Demme) are going to visit their pregnant daughter, but silly Matt wants to find a shortcut through the forest. Nell and Matt walk, they kiss and stare at the full Moon. They get into their car because a wild dog scares them off. However, this is when they see Steve, who now looks like a monster-size bug, or moth. Steve West sleeps at a cemetery. He keeps on remembering his astronaut past, but he's becoming green goo. Judy stops sewing when the cat breaks a bottle of milk; then, her approaching husband scares her off. Nelson confides in her, and she's distraught about the death of her parents. The sheriff finds them. Nelson gives Judy a sleeping pill. The general stays with Judy while Nelson goes to speak with the sheriff, who gets angry with him because he's not collaborating with him; he even starts to suspect Ted. Another lady, called Helen (Dorothy Love) gets attacked at her home. Two security guards (Westbrook Claridge and Mickey Lolich) see West running around in the water plant they are watching. West throws a maintenance man (Keith Michl). Ted arrives and tries to reason with Steve, who pushes him over the balustrade to his death. Finally, Steve helps Ted. The two security guards appear. They shoot Ted, who was trying to talk to them, so Steve kills them both. Steve drips more and more. Now he looks like a human-size squid. He melts away and dies. The rising sun again. The dam has been saved. Steve is now a bloody mess. A janitor (DeForest Covan) is the first to arrive and sees the bloody scraps of meat. While a newscaster (Jennifer Mulaire) drools on and on broadcasting another mission being launched into space, the janitor puts the remains of Steve into the rubbish bin.
