From Beyond (1986)

The same creative team that gave us Re-Animator (1985) knocked out another classic B movie that’s simultaneously gut-busting hilarious and bowel-churning gross, again based on an H. P. Lovecraft tale. It even called back some of the same cast, including the wonderful Jeffrey Combs as a dangerously obsessed scientist. He and a fellow dabbler build a device that enables them to see the unseen, and consequently invite a whole new world of sexy depravity and icky shit to their door.
