Director: Stuart Gordon Run Time: 86 min. Release Year: 1985
Starring: Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, Barbara Crampton, David Gale, Robert Sampson
Celebrate 40 years of mad science and midnight movie mayhem as our Halloween Hangover Series resurrects Stuart Gordon’s cult classic Re-Animator in a brand new 4K restoration! And to make it an extra special event, we are super excited to announce that Frida Cinema favorite, Barbara Crampton, will be in joining us for a post-screening Q&A to tell us all about her experiences making the film! When brilliant but deranged medical student Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs, in a career-defining performance) discovers a serum that brings the dead back to life, his experiments spiral from groundbreaking to grotesque. Soon, morgues overflow, limbs twitch, and body parts revolt in one of the most deliriously gory and darkly hilarious horror films ever made. Re-Animator is the gold standard for splatter horror and shouldn't be missed on the big screen with a packed audience! Get your tickets while they're still available! Please note: there is an added meet-and-greet VIP option to chat with (and have one item signed) by Barbara Crampton. Doors open at 6PM for this VIP ticket, and GA doors open at 7PM. The film will begin at 7:30PM! Because of this, Frida Cinema Member discounts and Frida Cinema comp passes are not valid to this option!
