Horror gore-hounds of the world, REJOICE! The Rad Revival House hits the bloody 1980s with the cult 1985 splatter-fest RE-ANIMATOR!

Joining us as a first time Special Guest Lecturer is longtime Horror film lover Mike Messbauer, who is more than eager to discuss his fascination with director Stuart Gordon’s take on the classic Frankenstein tale, originally conceived by iconic writer H.P. Lovecraft. RE-ANIMATOR tells the tale of Dr. Herbert West (the incredible Jeffrey Combs), who works feverishly to accomplish one scientific breakthrough: the reanimation of once-dead flesh. With the reluctant assistance of fellow medical student Dan Cain (Bruce Abbott), West successfully creates a serum that rejuvenates dead tissue, bringing corpses back to life. Inevitably, however, West’s experiments backfires as the corpses become hideous flesh-eating zombies!

Together, host Professor Cesare and Mike analyze what makes RE-ANIMATOR so enjoyable. Not since THE EVIL DEAD has there been loads, and we mean LOADS, of fake yet convincing manufactured blood. Gallons of fake blood, along with intricately-created zombie makeup and prosthetics, are used to make the undead monsters of RE-ANIMATOR so amazingly compelling, despite an obvious low budget. The film is also bolstered by a deliciously creepy performance by Combs, helping to make RE-ANIMATOR a true 80s horror flick a real treat to fans, and a must-see for aspiring horror filmmakers looking to revitalize the genre away from the current CGI-ladened trends!
