Horror Fans Revisit Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator for Halloween

Original: Let's talk about pervert cinema for 31 Days of Halloween, shall we? The subject? Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985): htt

Stuart Gordon's 1985 cult horror film Re-Animator, loosely adapted from an H.P. Lovecraft story, is being revisited as part of Halloween season viewing. Writers and horror fans are discussing the film's transgressive, so-called 'pervert cinema' legacy — its mix of gore, dark humour and body horror that made it a defining piece of 1980s genre filmmaking.

Why now: Halloween season prompts annual reappraisal and discussion of classic horror films.
