Stuart Gordon
Stuart Gordon (Chicago, August 11, 1947) is an American film director who reached public in the horror genre. After his first (drama) film Bleacher Bums (1979), a drama film, he broke up with the cult film Re-Animator in 1985. Lovecraft
Although Gordon did not focus exclusively on horror films since his breakthrough, horror films form a significant part of his production. Between 1985 and 1995, he followed Re-Animator with the horror films From Beyond (1986), Dolls (1987), Daughter of Darkness (1990), The Pit and the Pendulum (1991) and Castle Freak (1995). More than once, as with Re-Animator, the stories of H.P. Lovecraft the inspiration. Gordon also showed his appreciation for Edgar Allan Poe in his productions.
With Dagon, after a series of other projects, he resumed in 2001 with a Lovecraft filming on the horror town. Since then he has added King of the Ants (2003) and Stuck (2007) to the creep genre. Masters of Horror
Gordon was one of the seven directors who made a film for both seasons of Masters of Horror: Dreams in the Witch House and Edgar Allan Poe's The Black Cat (previously filmed by genre legend Lucio Fulci). When, after two years, thinker Mick Garris took his mental child to NBC, he invited Gordon to make a film for the 'first' season of his 'new' anthologieship Fear Itself. That became Eater (2008). Jeffrey Combs
The circle must come to Gordon in 2010. For that year, the third sequel to Re-Animator is scheduled, House of Re-Animator (Gordon's good friend Brian Yuzna directed the first two sequels). In the same way as in the first part, Jeffrey Combs plays the main role (what Yuzna did) after re-enrolling them from Reyond Animator in From Beyond, The Black Cat and Castle Freak.
