From Beyond

Okay, I get it. It’s all been planned, very carefully from the beginning. First a systematic distrust of the fallibility of mythology, then blurring the distinction of fantasy & reality, then in true trickster fashion, digression and fantastic tales to relax, then BAM! From Beyond.
Holy Fuck. What if they aren’t just stories? There’s already enough to question how based in fact the “stories” that make up mythology are, so what if these stories comprise a more modern kind of mythology? Tales which we can’t rationally explain, but are plausible enough to be real?
Is it possible that another plane of existence co–exists with us? Of course. Is there any way to verify this? Perhaps all attempts end the same—situations we explain as murder or similar. What about if, once aroused, that fine membrane separating our existence from things we couldn’t understand becomes weaker and something as simple as turning on a light switch is enough to give us a glimpse into another world. You know what sounds like a good idea right now? Re-watching Altered States.
