    Jeffrey Combs, my god, what a stud. I still have a lingering crush on him from these movies (from beyond, reanimator, bride of reanimator, the man with two brains...he's great in every scene)

    Hmm. Relatively short article. Seen 1/3, never heard of mimic, can't work up the courage to watch Re-animator. It was my 3rd favorite Lovecraft story, After Pickman's Model and The Outsider. I don't know what would be scarier, if the movie was done wrong, or right.

    "keep in mind that quarter of Americans are infected with Toxoplasma gondii."


    A QUARTER!? Am I going to have to hide under my bed from them? Is this the T-Virus?


    And how the hell did I become a star commenter? :0
