My takeaway from seeing the brilliant Re-Animator for the first time(!) last night is, we need a Re-Animator morgue play set. @barbaracrampton.bsky.social

So, the secret is out. Tonight I will not be in the backyard, but outside the trailer crushing a few beers with Joe Bob & Darcy as we watch a terribly maligned film I hope to turn y'all on to the greatness of. Or just watch me get dunked on by Joe Bob. Both are fun! Such a huge honor! I'm chuffed!

"A WOUNDED FAWN" remains one of my favorite memories... playing a serial killer, shooting on the east coast through Halloween season...

Anyway, great flicks on this list

First movie of Fantastic Fest 2025: Primate. What if Koko instead of Cujo? Rabid chimp terrorizes family in a fancy Hawaiian mountaintop house. Unapologetically gory studio horror flick that will for sure get crowds squirming in their seats when it comes out in January.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.
