Beyond the Wall of Fear, the so-far best-named Joe Sherlock film, opens with a woman who has a terrible dream about being chased by some sort of creature with green hands. She immediately grabs a bottle of booze and calls her psychiatrist, cuz those kinda dreams are not cool. He assures her that he's sending in more medication to the pharmacy, and the woman continues to drink herself into needing a shower. Surprisingly, the film avoids a cheap T&A shot and keeps things relatively PG-13 (don't worry, it's just for this short). After she showers, the woman receives her pills in what's got to be the best pharmacy-by-mail on the planet. Shortly thereafter, it is revealed that she was scared to death and the entire thing was an experiment set up by the creepy sunglass-alien-man (SAM) from the previous film, Odd Noggins. There's something that's actually creepy about this dude, which is certainly a rarity in these types of movies. I'm sure he's just a regular dude, but he's got that "they're coming to get you, Barbara" kinda vibe to him. From this story we jump headfirst into a conglomeration of stories and ideas that combine to form a small-town Lovecraftian nightmare.
