Poe Play Extends Run

Nevermore … An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe, a one-man show about the famous author, extends its run at Los Angeles’ Steve Allen Theatre until December 19, 2009.  The play stars Jeffrey Combs and is written by Dennis Paoli and directed by Stuart Gordon.  The same team that brought you the cult classic Reanimator.

Those in the Los Angeles area who haven’t seen this production yet should take advantage of its extended run.  This looks like a production you won’t soon forget.

Tickets for the extended run aren’t online yet, but keep checking the website as they soon will be.

Father of Re-Animator!

Cult filmmaker Stuart Gordon recently sat down with Fangoria for a comprehensive one-on-one interview.  Fascinating stuff.

Here’s what he had to say about his approach to horror films:

Most of the films in horror are rather formulaic in that you know what’s going to happen, whereas with my work, I like to go places that are unexpected.

And on horror audiences:

Any audience really wants to be engaged and really want to get involved with the story being told so I try to do things in film that are going to require them to be carried into the work with their imaginations.
