Reanimator & Fright Night: Beautiful, 80s Gothic!

In this episode, I dive into two of my favorite films from the 1980s: Reanimator & Fright Night, both from 1985.

Reanimator (1985)

Directed by Stuart Gordon and produced by Brian Yuzna. Starring Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton, and Bruce Abbot. Based on an H.P. Lovecraft novelette. It is baffling, fantastic, bloody, and freaking awesome!

Fright Night (1985)

 Directed by Tom Holland (who directed the first Child’s Play film, introducing us to Horror-icon: Chucky!). Starring William Ragsdale, Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowall, Amanda Bearse, and Stephen Geoffreys. I mean…do have I to say anymore? Classic.

They are VERY different movies, but both have the Gothic aesthetic seeping from their pores!
