Beyond the Door (a.k.a. The Devil Within Her in the United Kingdom) was released into theaters on July 31st, 1975. Filming locations include San Francisco and Sausalito, Ca. Most of the interiors were filmed at Incir De Paolis Studios in Rome. It was directed by Ovidio G. Assonitis and Roberto D'Ettorre. The movie is an obvious ripoff of The Exorcist, which was released roughly one and a half years prior. The possessed woman portrays many of the same traits as Linda Blair's character from the film, (i.e. vulgar language, projectile vomiting, rotating head, and levitating.) Her son is even seen drinking cans of Campbell's pea soup throughout the movie. Warner Bros. filed a lawsuit against the movies' production company, claiming copyright infringement. In 1979, the lawsuit was settled in favor of Warner Bros. for a cash settlement and a portion of the films future revenue. The extremely unusual score was composed by Franco Micalizzi. The films first DVD release was on September 16th, 2008.

Robert driving - Lombard St. San Francisco, Ca. 94133
This portion of Lombard Street is located between Hyde St. and Leavenworth St. and is known as Russian Hill. Built in 1922, it is a one way street that features eight sharp turns. The design was intended to reduce the hill's natural 27 percent grade, which was too steep for most vehicles.
