Join us as we pay tribute to Chicago-born genre titan Stuart Gordon with the splatter-horror trash-terpiece that started it all! The first film to pair up the iconic duo of Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton, Gordon’s outrageous take on H.P. Lovecraft launched a thousand imitators—and one filthy visual gag for the ages.
