Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Mark Krawczyk of Special Mark Productions pay tribute to the late, great Stuart Gordon with a look at his debut feature, Re-Animator! The film, which turns thirty-five this year, stars Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, and Barbara Crampton as three med students caught up in a series of clandestine experiments designed to bring the dead back to life.
This bizarre and bloody adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's serialized short story, "Herbert West, ReAnimator", put Gordon on the map and serves as a critical pillar in the horror/comedy genre. Ian and Mark revisit the film to see how it holds up three-and-a-half decades on--particularly the infamous "head" scene! They also talk about what made Stuart Gordon's career so very special.
Episode 521 can maintain consciousness six to twelve minutes after death!
