Stuart Gordon’s loose and very funny Lovecraft adaptation is one of the most crowd-pleasing horror comedies of them all. The film is relentlessly inventive, full of first-rate gore effects, and blessed with an iconic performance from Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West.

Panic at the Paramount will present a screening and Q&A with Jeffrey Combs (Herbert West) and Barbara Crampton (Megan Halsey) in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Re-Animator.

Re-Animator is the ultimate 1980s body horror experience, a joyously grotesque peer of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Lucio Fulci's The Beyond, and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Herbert West is a new student at Miskatonic University. He also moonlights as a mad scientist, intent on perfecting a serum that “re-animates” corpses. Soon, everyone wants a piece of the action, including an evil professor and his army of neon-slimed deadites.

With berserker direction from Stuart Gordon, career-defining roles from genre icons Crampton and Combs, and a scene of two adults chasing an undead cat in a basement, Re-Animator isn’t just a masterpiece of the horror genre - it’s a masterpiece of life.
