Lovecraft hits wild when Stuart Gordon reunites the creepy Combs and comely Crampton. Deliciously kinky fun loaded with riotous effects and dark wit. 1986. #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam
yep love this film it's timeless
Brilliant isn't it, not sure what Lovecraft would say but as far as 80s horror goes it's classic...
👏👏
Special effects for its time were pretty awesome. I watch it every so often still!!
Great fun isn't it, and you really can't beat old school practical effects!!
Visceral fun! CGI (unless it’s high-budget) rarely has the organic ‘texture’ Lovecraft’s creatures NEED!
It's terrific fun isn't it. For me, even big budget CGI doesn't touch the brilliantly organic look of practical effects... 😱😁
I love Re-Animator ... but ... it kinda stops there 🤣
I love Gordon's first three, and I think there are a few great films amongst the average after that...
This movie poster is so cool. I love the stretched face effect!!
Great artwork isn't it, and I love that tagline! 😱
Humans are easy prey, if you go by horror movies. 😆😅😂 Hey come down this dark, unlit hallway, it's safe!! 😈😈😈
😂 Indeed, they should just say 'humans are incredibly dumb' 😂
Dunderheads! Thanks for the chuckle HPG 😚
You're more than welcome! 😊
Not quite on the looniness level of Gordon’s own Re-Animator, but superior to most other Lovecraft adaptations and pastiches!
Definitely! Reanimator will always be my favourite, but this isn't far behind at all...
Me too, it's an absolute classic of glorious 80s insanity! That looks like a great edition, I've got the UK Blu Ray release 🖤
Nice 😍
If you are a real fan of Lovecraft you should check out Blue Sky's own Andrea Bonazzi ( @andreabonazzi.bsky.social) , a great Lovecraft artist that has been making tributes to H.P. & his disciples since the mid 80's. Good Stuff.
Kool!👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent! Thanks for the pointer, some of the stuff looks fantastic...
You can also see some of his older stuff on YouTube. Personally I like the style used on the older pieces better.
Thanks again, I'll take a look at YouTube too...
This is an absolute fave and Barbara just gave my daughter a gift a few weeks back at a convention. I was walking down an aisle and saw Mr. Jeffery Combs greeting my daughter it was fantastic! Really couldn't have made my World better that day!
Wow, that's a fantastic story! I've not met them, but from what I've seen and read both Barbara Crampton and Jeffery Combs are wonderful people, really appreciate their fans. Certainly sounds like a special day for you and your family.
I really first met them when I was 14 lol! youtu.be/4tI7cotzgCs?...
That's fantastic, thanks for the link. Must've been pretty amazing for a kid of 14!
(not my vid but I was in the audience!)
Classic line: “What about the hard on I got?!?!?”
Almost Shakespearean... 😂
Holy shit this movie is wild
Yep, they don't come much wilder! Outrageously good fun...
