A SCUM PIT TOYS SPECIAL SCREENING!

One of the most wildly popular horror movies of all-time, Stuart Gordon’s enduring splatter-comedy classic Re-Animator is back on our screen!  When medical student Dean Cain advertises for a roommate, he soon finds one in the form of Dr. Herbert West.  Initially a little eccentric, it some becomes clear that West entertains some seriously outlandish theories specifically, the possibility of re-animating the dead.  It’s not long before Dean finds himself under West’s influence, and embroiled in a serious of ghoulish experiments which threaten to go wildly out of control…  Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s classic terror tale Herbert West Reanimator and featuring a standout performance from Jeffrey Combs as the deliciously deranged West, Re-Animator remains the ground-zero of 80s splatter mayhem and one of the genre’s finest hours.

“It’s simply the best, funniest Grand Guignol horror picture to come along in ages.” – Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times

“This original landmark is a refreshing, not-to-be-missed take on a classic tale of science gone too far.” – Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 

“Most genre filmmakers go their whole careers without making something have as delirious and dazzling as Stuart Gordon did right in his debut.” – Tim Brayton Alternate Ending
