Saw this years ago and haven't seen it since.

Four short creepy stories although the only one i remember is called

'The Elemental'
Ian Carmichael has a strange meeting on a train with a lady who tells him he has an invisible 'creature' sat on his shoulder and if he doesn't get rid of it, then he'll be in trouble. He obviously thinks she's quite mad but he takes her card with phone number anyway, a few days later he has to call her.

I don't hold out much hope for this, but there's no harm in asking!

From Imdb:-

A great example of 70's Hammer, great fun, and unintentionally humorous, 26 October 2001
8/10
Author: John Dennison from Cardiff, Wales

"From Beyond" is a great example of 70's horror, four short, supposedly spine tingling stories that hit and miss with varying degrees of success. The tales are all odd affairs, a scruffy man in a mirror that encourages homicide, a father and daughter team that remove unwanted parents, an invisible demon that attaches itself to people, and finally an old nobleman who lives inside a door. Yes, this is not this reviewer on LSD, the plots really are as such, and are enthusiastically acted by some big names that perhaps should have known better. "From Beyond" is great fun, a little dated and hardly scary, but the tales are so outlandish, and the script is so unintentionally humorous, that you hopefully will enjoy at least one of the stories. Best of all is the second tale. Donald Pleasance is excellent as the shifty peddler, his real life daughter Angela is wonderfully eerie in her role as his spaced out little girl, and a plumpish Diana Dors does a great turn as a battleaxe wife that still puts me off getting married to this day. The film also has some great quotable lines, maybe not in the Tarantino/Goodfellas league, but some lines ("Get on with your sweet"),are oddly amusing. In the main the acting and scenes are so over the top that its hard to believe this film may have been considered scary by some in the early 70's. But on the whole, 'From Beyond The Grave' is good fun and worth a watch if you like your horror served with a bit of dated hokum.
