- The World Beyond (1978)
Staring Granville Van Dusen & JoBeth Williams
Sportswriter Paul Taylor, after a near-death experience on the operating table, can hear the voices of the recently dead. These voices direct him to people who need help from supernatural dangers. In this story, his mission takes him to a remote Canadian island haunted by a creature made from mud and clay. The only thing which can harm this mud golem is salt.
THIS IS THE WHOLE MOVIE. - Розваги
This movie scared the hell out of me as a kid. The golem's howling was terrifying.
same here i am amazed to see this again
This movie was bugging me for years...FINALLY found a title, and then this UA-cam video. What a blast from the past!
ME TOO !!!
There's a mysterious special.treat sometimes in life, s7ch as the one you just described! I too, saw a movie decades ago, and remembered it as being fantastic, I always wanted to see it again!
Wow! This show has haunted me since I saw it as a kid - I was about 12 based on the date. I didn't remember it was a TV show (thought it was a movie), but man this thing scared the crap out of me. Only show/movie that scared me more was the Exorcist. The sound of the monster, the man-shaped hole in the ground, the boats tore up, the crawling hand, the creepy music... all resided in my memories. Gives me shivers to this day! Can't believe I found it after all these years lol.
Harvest Homes gave me nightmares for weeks lol
Whoever did the sound for this show deserves an award. This scared the crap out of me in 78, and I just watched it a second time 45 years later- it’s still WAY scarier than a TV show has any right to be. What a shame this never became a series.
Sounds great 👍 I will try it strictly on your recommendation alone. Check out The Night Stalker from 1973-74; which was a series that influenced The X - Files by using Chris Carter on a few of their teleplays. Thankfully yours, DJP Boston, Massachusetts Amerikkka quite obvious at this point in time.❤ Cheers nonetheless!
Lots of old but good films on UA-cam appreciate it,lost of time on my hands due the Corona..Keep well everyone.
You’ll be fine. My wife is a nurse and she’s exposed to it on a nightly basis. Have your Dr prescribe you steroids and you WILL get better ❤️🩹 I am praying for your recovery as well my friend. You’ll live. Don’t worry at all.
My sister and I watched this episode when I was 10 years old with our uncle and his wife at their house. I had to sleep in the living room on the couch that night and swore the mudman was outside of the house trying to get in.
Thank you so so much! I thought I was going crazy. I saw this when I was a kid and was frightened. I never knew the name of it but I just knew there was a monster made out of mud. I searched for years on this. THanks again man!
First time watching - scared the hell outta me and i'm 50!!
I have read Meyrinks ''Der Gollum.' and been to Prague, so this was an unexpcted joy.
Happy Halloween erybody. 🎃
Cool
I know everyone has stated the same thing… but I can’t believe you put this show up - this scared that heck out of me as kid!! Thanks!
I have been looking for this movie for years. Thank you!
I watched this when I was 8. It scared me so bad. I had never been so terrified in my whole life.
Now, it holds up very well. This was very well done.
ha, just remembered this, scared the crap out me in 1978, still freaky.
I was 8 yrs old when I 1st saw this movie I asked Google about a movie where the monster was made of mud and it said"Mud Monster" so now I found it. Thanks for the upload. This movie scared the fuck outta me as a kid and the hand was the most.
UA-cam helped me find a trio of films I remembered but forgot the names of ...The Last Dinosaur , Cruise into Terror , etc
My parents and I still laugh about how bad this scared me as a kid. I slept in their bedroom for a week clutching a salt shaker! lol
the trolling is bad
Thats a priceless memory , I'll bet
Yeah I remember having a few bad dreams as a kid after seeing this.
Iodized??
This was an early acting work for JoBeth Wiiliams, an Emmy and Oscar
nominated artist. God bless her.
This is a good one. I don't recall ever seeing it before. So thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I remember this originally aired on CBS the same time a movie about a giant turtle in the Bermuda triangle aired on ABC. Next day at school I discovered everyone saw the turtle movie (in 1978 most people I knew could get signal from 3 dodgy TV channels if they were lucky) and I was the only one who had seen this. That crawling hand freaked our whole family out, it was pretty scary for that time and for a TV movie. I couldn't remember the name of it but glad to have a chance to see it with older eyes.
I remember that too ... and for years I looked for both
I found a TV Guide from January 1978 and looked this up - it aired at 9pm Friday night at the same time as Bermuda Depths. I remember it airing in the middle of the week, but memories aren't perfect. It even had a full page ad for Bermuda Depths and a smaller ad for The World Beyond. This guide is going into my personal collection of tv and movie memorabilia.
I flipped back and forth between the two. Both movies scared the crap out of me. The turtle scared me cause I already had the ocean phobia thanks to Jaws, but the Mud Monster scared me all on its own merit. Now I can see throwbacks to even older movies- when they open the door and it’s right outside, that’s straight from The Thing. And salt water also killed The Faceless Man (another 50s movie)
Lol that's awsome. I remember the same thing.My brother was freaked out so I had to find out what happened from my friends at school.
I believe I remember 'The Curse of the Black Widow' also.
This film stuck with me for forty years. My mind changed a few things, and could not recall the title... No one remembered this! I was starting to think that it was a childhood nightmare that I had later convinced myself was a movie, and by Gawd, someone (in Australia of all places) I don't know sends me an IM and points me here.
Your story is identical to mine
wow, i remember watching this movie when i was younger, such good memories. whats really weird is that this movie was on my mind the last few days. i found it so good i can rewatch it... thanks...
This movie has been kicking around my head for over 40 years .... could not for the life of me remember the title and when I would describe it to others they had no memory of it...damned frustrating
Your welcome, happy you enjoy this film!
Omg I've been looking for this movie. Thanks
It's the first time I've seen this. Glad I found it.
Omg this was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. To this day my brother and I talk about how scary the hand was. Terrifying for a 7 and 10 yr old (70s latch key kids lol)
I remembered the severed hand but could never remember the title of the movie ... I found this vid about a year ago lol here I am again ...its like revisiting my childhood ...
@@pooddescrewch8718 I always thought it was Return to Logan's Island for some reason. Took me a long time to hunt it down.
Reminds me of the period of the Cliffhanger series and Koljack, Nightstalker series.
Thanks so much for posting this. I hadn't seen it since it originally aired. I recorded it on an audio cassette and used to play it for my younger cousins when they visited. Only rich people had VCR in 1978. My cousins loved it and we played it several times. Of course, I would have to sit there and tell them what all was happening. That mud monster's howling was enough to make this a perfect monster movie for kids. Just having that in the background during much of the show was enough to make this creepy as f--k.
This was the second pilot for the series. There had been an earlier episode that played a few months before this one. I have no memory of what the plot was. I only remember that I saw it and it had the same beginning as this episode but featured a different ghost. If anybody out there has it, please post it!
Final note-the show's creator, Art Wallace, was a script supervisor for the original Dark Shadows.
THIS IS GOOD!!! And this a TV show from 1978?! WOW, this scary!!! Thanks for the upload!
I, too, saw this when I was 11. For Decades, I, too, feared the disembodied hand, especially since I grew up in a house with a basement stair Very Much like the one in the emovie. I compulsively skipped the third step because I thought it might grab my foot! True.
You too, are an old duffer.
I was 5 when I saw this movie. Many nightmares.....Thanks for posting.
I remember this as a child and it scared the crap out of me. Thanks for posting this !! A great story.
Yeah that howling effect was creepy effective!
Too funny, it seems like a lot of other people were scared by the same cheezy movies that scared the crap out of me when we were kids, this film, It's Alive , She Demons, The Car....
I remember spending the night at a friend's house and this aired that night, scared the crap out of both of us! ...to his father's glee, he messed with us and jump scared us the rest of the night lol!
Good tense movie; would have made for a cool anthology type series. JoBeth Williams is gorgeous as always.
There should be a reboot of this series. Alot of potential.
I was 5 years old and trapped in the house... Ohio blizzard of '78. I'll never forget watching this.
+GFYS im from cincinnati born in 80 but heard about the blizzard.
From Coshocton, and I was 7 so I remember the blizzard well. Lived on a hill so missed a lot of school so watched movies and played in the snow!
We missed SO much school! It felt like a vacation
I was 5 as well and have never forgotten watching this movie either! I remember the blizzard but didn't know it was at the same time as this movie. I just remember the mud monster, but google let me know the title!
GFYS AHH The Blizzard of 78, so much fun, my favorite cousins got stuck and had to stay at our house till the national guard could plow us out! Snow was so high and fun!
Thank you so much for posting this!! My older brother made me watch this when I was a little girl and I ended up with nightmares for five years. The scene at the 30 minute mark was the most haunting. AH HA HA HA!!
I read your comment while watching this. Gave me so much anxiety waiting for the 30 minute mark...🤣 thoroughly enjoyed the moment when it happened.
Even in her early work, JoBeth Williams was amazing.
Good job. Keep on scaring with these lost classics
Your page might be the best thing that has ever happened on UA-cam.
I was 19 years old when this aired on CBS. I remembered The World of Darkness (4/17/1977) from the year before and thought a series would be produced featuring the adventures of Paul Taylor (Granville Van Dusen) as the dead lead him to fight for, and protect, the yet living from the forces of evil. I think it would have been an interesting series. It did frighten me a bit, but as the eldest child the role of hero was thrust upon me. :-)
I think sci fi fever was in full swing in 1977 ...Star Wars came out that year ..
BRILLIANT!!! Many thanks for uploading this and other great movies!! Cheers.
Thanks for posting, don't think I ever saw this back in the 70's, truly enjoyed it. : )
I remember this. It gave my older brother nightmares for years. As a much older adult, I think it still traumatizes him. lol
The sound effects and music in this are pretty sweet.
LOL, I think this thing's led more people to Kindertrauma than The Other.
I like that as the golem's burning in the water, he's only got one hand. Nice continuity. That bodes well for if the pilot had gone to series.
I saw this on TV when I was a kid.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
Loved this, thank you.
Exciting to hear Chris was the mud monster! I always wondered which island the cottage scenes were filmed on. The Gan water scenes were filmed at the Bay Street docks (now the municipal marina) and the Gan Boatline's workshop building with the old Pumphouse in the background. All are on the St Lawrence River. The one gentleman giving directions was Mr. Art Pullaw. Not sure of the second gentleman sitting with him. How exciting it was to see our little town on television! Thank you for this download!
According to my family Mr. Pullaw's first name was in fact Walter. And my sister was able to ask Chris about his role in the movie. He said he shared the honours of playing the mud monster with another local fellow and an actor. If I find out more, I'll be sure to post a comment.
What a cool series shame it never got posted abroad. really scary and clever stories.
Wow - it has been years since I last saw this! Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for posting this.
HA- that's awesome! This scared the pants off me too when I was a kid- had nightmares! Never could find it again though until now. :) Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this. Somehow, this eluded me as a child, but better late than never.
Wow! So, the prototype for the X-Files, complete with an early Mulder and Scully! I never saw or heard of this but I, too, am sorry it never went to series. Thanks so much for the posting!
Great old movie. 8 out of 10...thank you
I saw this movie when I was about 6 years old and the crawling hand scared me to death! I always thought it was waiting under my bed for me in the middle of the night. So glad to have found it!
Yes yes yes. That hand was was the only thing I could remember about this movie. Being only 7 at the time, that thing gave me nightmares.
I NEVER forgot this as a kid. The hand freaked me out!
This scared me so bad as a kid! It took forever to find it. I think ‘ 1970’s horror tv movie mud monster’ is what finally did it. Thank you for rekindling a childhood terror!
Thanks for posting! This is a surprisingly suspenseful little thriller, with some terrific sound design. It's obviously a pilot - it's too bad it didn't go to series. (Sadly, the main character is no Carl Kolchak. ) Great stuff!
I was 10 when i saw this in 1978...gave me nightmares for many many years..I couldnt even close my eyes in the shower....
I'm 51 years old I remember seeing this movie with my mother when I was nine. Omg this is crazy. Still scares me
I was nine too .... it was the buzz of the schoolyard as soon as we went back to school ...
Yep I was 9........mom though it would be funny to send me and my older sister13, to remote freezer in unfinished basement, to get some for dinner the next day, then turns off the lights....
Talk about child abuse after watching this movie.
@@rscottus5454 Your mom was fun ...lol
@@pooddescrewch8718 never mind the Karen Black trilogy....."thump thump thump"of that doll running around...I had nightmares from that. Literally, my mother used that as a tool to get us to do our chores. You didnt sweep or takeout that trash...THUMP THUMP THUMP...he is waiting under the bed for you. Talk about screams out of South Park.
@@rscottus5454 I missed that one . I keep seeing it on youtube but i keep putting it off . There was this other onewith Kim Darby and 3 mean tiny monsters ....I beloeve thatt one got remade into a theatrical release
@butchboy13 Thanks butchboy13 for that information. I am showing Dark Shadows for the first time right now, I am on episode 96, long way to go yet. Your welcome for this rare find, I was happy to post it :)
Ah this takes me back I love classic 70's horror films this is one of the best thanks
I don't recall ever seeing this one when it originally aired but it's scary just the same watching it as an adult. The only other BLANK (don't want to spoil it) feature I've ever liked was the one from the X Files. You have to see this with the lights off. Brought back some serious Boggy Creek memories.Great job TTL.
I saw this when I was 6 years old and it scared me to death!! I am now re-watching it 40 years later. Thanks so much for posting!
Ain't it great ?
I just finished watching this movie 29th December/2019. The first and only other time I saw it was back in 1978 on TV in our room at the Reef Hotel in Waikiki/Hawaii during our couple days stopover on our way back to Vancouver/Canada. I was only 17 years old back then but I thought it was pretty freaky nonetheless. I'm sixty years old now and I thought it made for an interesting chill to see it again after all that time......In fact, I still recall my mother harping on about all the smears and traces of mud the monster it's leaving all over the place, the monster must be getting smaller and smaller because after a while there wouldn't be much left of him. Then my dad says "Don't know,......maybe the creature has a way of rejuvenating the lost mud.
I remember this movie! My brother would scare me with work gloves after he saw my reaction to that freaking disembodied hand scene...
I saw this at age thirteen and it scared the bejezus out of me. I saw it at my aunt and uncle’s home, and I was shaking so bad from the jump scares that my aunt had to hold me to calm me down. Been looking forward to seeing this again after 40 years.
After watching it again now, it still is pretty spooky, but nowhere near as frightening as I remember it.
The sound effects still gave me the creeps...57 here ✌
I watched this on TV when I was 9 or 10. It left an impression on me. I have been looking for it. The one scene that stuck out with me was seeing the face of the guy who created the golem on the ground. When I was a kid, I thought the golem ripped the face off of him instead of burying him. Thanks for the memories. I wish they continued the series. The plot aged really well as opposed to a lot of old movies.
I’ve never seen this???? Oh yes, we only had one channel when I was a kid, ABC Network.
Thanks for the upload! I missed a good one!!!
oh god...this movie scared the everloving shit out of me when i was a kid (7) but I was so engrossed in it, I could not take my eyes off the screen until it was over and after that, I had the worst nightmares about that mud monster. i wonder if it will have the same effect on me this time around and have to sleep with the lights on!
wow!! i had given up hope that i would ever see this again...thanks so much for posting it!
I thought the same until I got curious that I could ever find it on google about 5 years ago and came across a blog where everyone seemed to speak the same language as me regarding this movie. Watching it feels like I am recalling a bad dream.
That was excellent! Now I know where Raimi got the inspiration for his first movie and for Dead By Dawn.. The creepy sounds reminds me of those in The Shadow Of The Hawk (another good, spooky movie).
Thanks !
I remember the mud monster because not only did it scare me but when the hand crawled across the floor my Father chose that moment to grab my shoulders and shout boo right then! I will never forget that for all my days. Only other thing that petrified me more was the exorcist and aliens!
This movie has the mother from Poltergeist and the grandfather from The Lost Boys movie, cool.
This is VERY, VERY good...
I saw this on TV when I was about 6. I thought I was the only one who was haunted by this movie. It took over 40 years to find this.
It looked like a pilot for a television series that never materialized. Scary story about people on a deserted island terrorized by a monster made of mud. I saw it in 1978 when I was fourteen. It did feel like a Dan Curtis production. Curtis always had a talent for scaring television viewers.
Wow... Thank You for Posting this! I remember this movie when I was very young and I watched it when I was at home alone. It Scared the heck out of me. I could not remember the name of this movie and for some reason the correct search term was Mud Creature! Thanks again. It is good to re-watch something from my youth that I had also thought maybe I made up since I was not able to find this for soooo long.
Same here
Although this “monster” is referenced as a “golem” in this show it is in fact a creature known as a grimp. These are very common in western ny and southern Ontario inhabiting most bodies of water if they are deep enough to not freeze completely in our cold oppressive winters. Grimps are very dangerous but rarely attack people. Most grimps are happy to just swim the other way when encountering a human. One of the best places to see a grimp in their natural habitat is the Indian river delta at rice Lake Ontario. Grimps are mostly docile and do a very good job of filtering pollutants from the water. It is believed that the more pollutants a grimp encounters the more dangerous they become. Hopefully with the renewed interest in keeping our waterways clean grimps will be less of a danger in the near future.
What are you smoking.
Wha??
It's surprising how many people are unaware of the grimps. We have them on the West Coast as well. Ours are a mix of Tule and mud, often containing feathers and debris of waterfowl native to our area. Grimps are making a comeback with the restoration of wetlands. I don't know what ours are called, but they are clearly grimps... Probably the Ohlone have a word for them.
I’m glad to hear that grimps are bicoastal. Since the shutting of our border with Canada and the resulting vaccine requirement it’s been over 2.5 years since I’ve been able to observe the spring grimp nesting in southern Ontario. Maybe a trip out what west is in my future to study these fascinating creatures further.
Docile AND dangerous…🤔 really now?
WOW! I don't know how I missed this as as kid?!? I suspect my parents had something to do with it. Thanks for uploading!!!!
Damn, this scared the crap out of me when I was a lil kid. Glad I finally found found it and was able to watch it. 👍
This was great!!!! Better than much of TV today, I'm sorry to say (And I say that as a millennial, lol). I'm guessing this was a pilot for a show that didn't get picked up? Such a shame it didn't.
Yeah , people were done with horror in 78 because Star Wars came out the year before
Well, back then they had movies of the week on Friday nights. There were only 3 channels back then.
@@rscottus5454 Yeah but that meant that each of the three channels had enough share off the market that they had a lot of ad money to spend on movies of the week . Now there are 1,000 " networks " all druving down ad revenue .,. Like this UA-cam channel
Excellent ☺
I LOVED living on an island
Iv only seen this movie once . It's still as scary as ever😮😮😮
Awesome!!! I remember this tv flick when I was 5-6 yoa. It scared my sister and I to death. We went one to make a game out of this movie, we called it, "Mud Montster". Thank you for posting and brinking back the memories
I saw this when I was a child. I tried forever to find this movie.
why
Me too but no one I talked too could help me find it
Thanks-new sub,
This one I didn't remember but I really enjoyed it, thank you. Do you have 'The World of Darkness?' Love your channel, btw.
Im pretty sure this has been said a hundered times over but damn this scared the shit out of me as a kid!
This show, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and Trilogy of Terror all traumatized me for life! Good times. Many nightmares were given by those shows!
This was very good JoBeth Williams is so cute specially in Poltergeist good acting good monster., but I can't figure out why that guy didn't go for her she liked him
@Spud13ify Oh, absolutely, The Night Stalker was record-breaking TV. I wasn't trying to compare the two as a whole. All I meant to convey is that I think The World Beyond quite a good pilot for the era, and the only reason I can see for the network to pass on it, is that perhaps they thought the main character wasn't strong enough to carry a series. A pity - I'd love to see more.
I, like a lot of other comments, saw this when I was a child and it really scared me. This is the first time I have been able to find it anywhere.
Cool, The girl is in Poltergeist and Bernard who plays the old man who takes them to the island plays Bob Newharts wife's dad on the Bob Newhart show ;) I'm from Maine too, great seeing a movie based there ! (Although like most movies that take place in New England, this is filmed in Canada.
Barnard Hughes was his name , I believe
This seemed to leave such an indelible impression on those who watched it that one Friday night back in the 70's, and yet "The World Beyond" wasn't picked up as a series. It might've been the "X-Files" of it's day had it been given a chance. Pity.
That honor belongs to "Kolchak, the night stalker". ua-cam.com/play/PLAPGcD5LGrp7PGyKooDu0_ru4zgBUuT9b.html
I went to a spooky drive-in movie with a friend's parents when I was a kid. I never forgot the movie we saw. It was about a severed hand which crawled around killing people. The hand had belonged to a man on his honeymoon with his brand new wife. The couple was interrupted by a man who had decided he'd have sex with the woman first. They fought and the hand was cut off. I went home that night and couldn't sleep. Every time I caught a glimpse of my own hands in the moonlight lying on my duvet I freaked a little. I ended up keeping both hands under the covers but still couldn't sleep. Getting scared to death because of a spooky movie was wonderful. These days I still love spooky movies, but because I have a huge dog now I sleep fine.

I was 9 years old and it made an impression on me . I never forgot " The Mud Man " lol ....looked for this for years not k owing the title .
I am so glad you found this treasure from T.V. it has The Norliss Tapes, Spectre, X-FILES Kinda vibes
To it, but I loved it and the others nonetheless!?! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness Also another more modern
Supernatural!! GBKOD
This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
This scared the shit out me when I was a kid. First Horror movie my parents let me stay up and watch. Holds a special place in the dark blackness of my heart.
I like bad clowns!
Cool story brah.
I feel that way about The Changeling. That's on here somewhere too.
The dark blackness of your heart?
Why you OLD Capt. Spalding wannabe!
You're old now ... So grow up.
@@mechazookie
Brah this. You're not dog.
I can see where this could give you nightmares. The creepy vibe of this movies does give me chills. The noise is scary, and oh my gosh I jumped at *the hand*! Freaky. And that door handle creaking. Jobeth: "I think I'll have that drink" ;D
For a little kid in the 70s, this tv movie was very frightening. It was the 2nd installment of a proposed series starring Granville Van Dusen. The first one was called, I think, the World of Darkness and it was about vampires. Beatrice Straight who played Dr. Lesh in Poltergeist was in it. Would be great to find that!
