‘Navel Gazing’ Vodcast: Talking RE-ANIMATOR With A Gore Guy

SEYMOUR — In advance of the Undead Date Night’ double feature happening Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020 at The Strand Theater in Seymour, Valley Indy reporter Eugene Driscoll interviews special FX makeup artist Brian Spears about Stuart Gordon’s 1985 splatter classic, RE-ANIMATOR, presented by Connecticut Cult Classics.

Re-Animator’ will be screening Saturday along with Night of the Creeps.’ Connecticut Cult Classics is organized by Derby resident Larry Dwyer. Tickets have been selling like hot cakes, so visit this page before heading to the Strand. 

Editor’s Note: I tried something different this week (OBS and Google Hangout video conference), and it didn’t work out as planned. In other words, lower your expectations before hitting play. The audio doesn’t sync perfectly, and the screen flickers — kinks to be worked out. This is what happens when you’re holed up in your house for two weeks with a daughter with the flu and a son having a prolonged asthma episode.

Spears, by the way, has almost 100 IMDB credits to his name and his been on the makeup crew for Netflix Marvel shows such as The Punisher,’ and Jessica Jones.’

This year he was nominated for a Fangoria Chainsaw Award for his creature work on Depraved,’ a modern retelling of Frankenstein’ written and directed by Larry Fessenden.
