# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Re-Animator (1985) with Count Drahoon!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The Re-Animator (1985) is a wildly entertaining, fast-paced horror-comedy that reinvents cosmic dread with biting camp and brilliant practical effects. 

Loosely adapted from the H.P. Lovecraft serial story Herbert West—Reanimator, director Stuart Gordon transforms it from bleak pulp into an anarchic, neon-soaked cult classic that manages the difficult tightrope walk of being genuinely gruesome while remaining laugh-out-loud funny. 

Jeffrey Combs stars as the eccentric medical student Herbert West and his intense, deadpan delivery makes him one of the most memorable mad scientists in cinema history. Couple that with buckets of gooey, creative practical effects that still hold up and you have the pinnacle of low-budget horror craftsmanship.

Count Drahoon is a horror-comedy persona best known for hosting the retro-style series and podcast Count Drahoon's Feature of Fright. Blending classic monster-host tropes with comedy, the project features vintage radio-play style audio productions, guest interviews, and live performances. Launched around 2015, the show delivers horror-comedy content twice a month, adapting classic thrillers (like House on Haunted Hill) into serialized radio theatre. Count Drahoon conducts filmmaker and creator interviews—talking with figures like director David Hinds and industry icon Chris Gore—and streams content across platforms including Troma Entertainment and Feature of Fright and The Count frequently collaborates with groups like the Robertson County Players to bring live radio theater to the stage.
