The stage version of Re-Animator was supposed to end its run the other day, but it's been extended until the end of May. Unlike Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Re-Animator: The Musical is a low-budget DIY affair. More »

A young Bruce Campbell talks about growing up with Sam Raimi, surrounded by monstrous heads. It's just one of the many, many delights available in The Incredibly Strange Film Show, a 1988-1989 British series about "psychotronic movies" that's on YouTube. More »

You're already a fan of Jeffrey Combs. Maybe you've seen him play a slew of all-too-human aliens on Star Trek, maybe you've watched him go too far in Re-Animator. But we bet you haven't seen all his great genre roles. More »

Christopher Lambert is stuck in a prison cell with half a dozen sweaty dudes, but at least he can dream about sex with his wife, right? Wrong! The Men-Tel Corporation's brain monitors observe his wet dream and give him nausea. More »

Stuart Gordon has spent most of his cinematic career turning H.P. Lovecraft tales into perverse, creepy, and silly movies. And his "Dreams in the Witch House" episode of Masters of Horror is epic Lovecraft madness that crosses string theory with witch sex. More »

Nothing says holiday celebration better than this fantastic Cthulhu-worship scene from Stuart "Re-Animator" Gordon's best movie of the new millennium, Dagon. Gordon is a master of Lovecrafty material, and this retelling of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" stays true to the original story, though the director adds a few, um, kinks of his own. While our hero tries to escape, his girlfriend is becoming a naked holiday feast in this Cthulhian ritual to Dagon. I love hearing all the fish-frog people chant "Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!" This is a simple, bloody tale of a group of friends whose boat is wrecked off the coat of a tiny Spanish fishing village. Turns out this village long ago turned to Cthulhu worship so that they'd catch enough fish to sell. And once in a while they have to sacrifice a few people to keep up the old fish deliveries from the deep. Oh and also, they intermarry with Cthulhu's spawn so much that they are all turning into fish-frog people. This is one of the best cinematic adaptations of a Lovecraft story you'll ever see, by the way. It's pulpy, scary, and worth a look. [Dagon via IMDB] More »

Now that we're all excited about Ridley Scott's Forever War movie, it's worth looking back at the version by Stuart Gordon (Reanimator) that we almost had in the early 80s. Gordon, who later worked with Forever War author Joe Haldeman on Robot Jox, came close to making a PBS miniseries of the epic war novel, but ended up turning it into a stage play instead. (Really.) But at least the PBS project got as far as generating some amazing concept art by comics god Neal Adams, who helped reinvent Batman a decade earlier. More art, and more details on the strange saga of the Gordon Forever War, below the fold. More »

This is something I've been wanting to share with you for a long time: The very best visual pun to hit the B-movie screen EVAR. Plus, this could be the most perverted thing I've ever seen. Well, let's just say it's among the most perverted, how's that? From classic 1980s horror flick Re-Animator, directed by mega-genius Stuart Gordon, we get the monster-menaces-damsel scene with quite a twist. Do not watch unless you are prepared to douse your eyes in lye to recover. More »

Cancel those Fourth of July plans! This is going to be a totally righteous week of science fiction television. First, there's a new Middleman, featuring those Mexican wrestlers we showed you a while back. And then, giant human-eating rats are going to fight environmentalists, to see who rules science TV. There's a new journey into the heart of horror from Reanimator director Stuart Gordon. You've seen Autobots hazing each other, now you can witness a Decpticon initiation. We finally learn exactly what makes "sex-starved aliens" happy, not to mention where Marina Sirtis has been lately. (Those two things have nothing to do with each other, sorry.) Click through for some juicy television listings. More »

For those of you who have had the pleasure of watching Stuart Gordon's masterpiece Re-Animator, his 1986 follow-up movie From Beyond is sure to please. It's pretty much the same cast, including a weirdly hot Jeffrey Combs, and is based extremely loosely on an H.P. Lovecraft story. Basically what happens is that a bunch of mad scientists invent a device that "tunes" another dimension, allowing a bunch of sex-crazed beasties into our nice dimension. In this amazing scene, we see what happens to our heroes when first menaced by the other dimension — there is naked-lady action, plus head-chomping. In the scene right after this one (which you'll have to get the DVD to see), the chomped lady becomes a dominatrix who molests the now-zombified Combs. All I can say is this is truly a must-see.

A massive battle-robot, piloted by Achilles (Gary Graham) flies up into space, only to get shot in the foot and crash back to Earth, in this amazing sequence from 1989's Robot Jox. Achilles' robot fighter then transforms into a massive tank to take the fight to his Russian attacker's four-legged war-machine. Achilles shoots Alexander's four-legged 'bot in the crotch, but then that same crotch opens to reveal a giant chainsaw, tearing into Achilles' cockpit. This is just one of the amazing scenes from what may be the greatest fighting robot movie of all time. More »

At last, proof that Re-Animator 4, also called House of Re-Animator, is definitely in the works. William H. Macy (whom you may have seen in bloodfest Fargo) told press at Sundance that the politically-charged movie — in which a George W. Bush-style prez orders the re-animation of his VP — will definitely be happening. He'll play the president, and horror-satirist Stuart Gordon (who directed the bizarrolicious first Re-Animator) will be helming, working "slowly but surely," Macy said. More »

My heart is breaking because Jeffrey Combs just told SciFi Wire that we may be waiting a lot longer for the much-anticipated House of Re-Animator, the fourth in the Re-Animator series, and the second to be directed by its anarchist-comedian mastermind, Stuart Gordon. Apparently its political message, about a zombie Vice-President who runs amok, cuts too close to the bone. Studios are wussing out of doing some gory political satire. According to Combs: More »
