IN PERSON! STUART GORDON - LEGENDARY DIRECTOR OF
HORROR CLASSICS LIKE RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, AND MANY OTHERS!
Yes, we're pleased to welcome back esteemed director and survivor of the 1992 24-Hour Horror Marathon Stuart Gordon as our guest of honor. As part of our celebration of
Stuart's work, we'll be screening his acclaimed Showtime Masters of Horror episode
The Black Cat (starring Re-animator's Jeffrey Combs as Edgar Allan Poe) and a 35mm print of his classic
Lovecraftian splatterfest From Beyond. We've also offered Stuart the opportunity to select a film of his choice
for inclusion in the lineup, so after an audience Q+A session, he'll introduce a screening of Gaspar Noe's 2002 revenge shocker Irreversible.
