to see, but not interact with, strange insectoid creatures who inhabit a dimension parallel to our own. Though originally confined to the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, the phenomenon of this "second sight" is also spread by touch. It quickly spreads to nearby populations, mostly by way of a "sight-infected" conspiracy theorist who stumbles upon a real government conspiracy concerning aliens and the SG-1. Parts of Colorado and Wyoming are "quarantined" until the process can be reversed. Hallucinogenic chemicals are used for a cover-up story. Death metal band Ripping Corpse's song "Beyond Humanity" is directly inspired by the Lovecraft story and the Gordon film. Dark ambient and Halloween-themed duo Nox Arcana based their 2009 album Blackthorn Asylum on this story, with some twists of their own. Heavy metal band Manilla Road adapted the story to a song of the same title featured in their 1990 album The Courts of Chaos. The 2013 movie Banshee Chapter features a similar plot involving the drug dimethyltryptamine instead of Ultraviolet. At one point Lovecraft's short story is explicitly mentioned. The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Phantasms" features inter-phasic parasites, undetectable under normal conditions, that feed off of cellular matter, and are perceived by Data as surrealistic objects during his dream program. Individuals experiencing elements of the world beyond our own through dreams and visions is a common theme in Lovecraftian literature. The ninth issue of Alan Moore's comic Providence draws heavily from "From Beyond". A similar concept is used in the 2015 video game Bloodborne where by gathering a collectible called “insight” different creatures start to become visible in the player's world with the more insight they gather, and disappear again when they no longer have enough insight. The video game Lust From Beyond (2021) deals with similar themes and was inspired by Lovecraft's works. References External links Publication history from The H. P.
