STUART GORDON<\/a> is one of the few current filmmakers whose work will be studied, with appropriate shock and awe, decades from now. His bold style and unique vision are thematically diverse, visually distinctive, graphically imaginative, pointedly satirical, socially relevant and unfailingly entertaining. In anticipation of Thrillville’s 12th Anniversary Show<\/a> on April 9 at the Cerrito Speakeasy Theater<\/a> in El Cerrito CA, featuring an undead double bill of Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space<\/a> <\/em>and Gordon’s macabre masterwork Re-Animator<\/em><\/a>, I caught up with the Master of Mirthful Mayhem:<\/p>\n

Thrill:<\/em> Re-Animator<\/em> is rumored for a remake. I am not against all remakes but this truly seems impossible to successfully pull off, since the original was a perfect confluence of timing and talent. Do you think the audience has become too shockproof for stuff like this?<\/p>\n

SG:<\/em> As far as I know the Re-Animator <\/em>remake is only a rumor. But it\u2019s true that remakes are seldom as good as the originals. The scariest movies are created outside the studio system on non-existent budgets by people who will stop at nothing to terrorize an audience. The remakes are done by corporate dweebs out to make a buck. No audience is shockproof. You just have to find new ways to shock them.\"dagon\"<\/p>\n
