Fan2Fan Podcast Appearance
The cool kids at Fan2Fan Podcast have published an episode on the 1985 Lovecraftian cult, splatstick classic, Re-Animator. I am honored they have asked me to be a guest on this episode!

Re-Animator – Fan2Fan Podcast
For fun, here is my Re-Animator DVD (the old school version from Elite Entertainment) autographed by Charles Band (who owned Empire who produced the film).
Band autographed this at his Full Moon Roadshow he did in Seattle in the late 2000s. I am not sure why I don’t have Stuart Gordon’s signature on this, I met him at a Monsterpalooza in Burbank and he signed my other movies. I can only think that I couldn’t locate this DVD in time or it was packed away.
And finally, here is my copy of Bride of Re-Animator, also signed by Band.
Alas, I do not own a copy of Beyond Re-animator.
