Texas hosted their world famous, "FEAR FEST" convention on the weekend of March 23-25. One of the conventions guests, was none other than ReAnimator's Barbara Crampton who chatted with Dread Centrals' Johnny Butane about House of ReAnimator.
Of course he had to ask her about the status of House of ReAnimator.. since its been heard from both producer Brian Yuzna (who said they were still planning on doing a total of three more), Jeffrey Combs and Stuart Gordon (both of whom said it was all up to coming up with the cash), if nothing else he wanted to know what she thought of the idea.
What she had to say was very interesting, apparently since there is such an issue with funding and because the script is a parody of the Bush administration, there is some talk of making House of ReAnimator Stuart’s next Masters of Horror episode. Johnny Butane thinks that is the best choice as if the next season is green lighted by Showtime the funding will automatically be there, and it will get the episode out before there’s no Bush administration to satirize anymore.
As much as this guarantees the production of the movie, it makes it no longer an actual movie but a tv episode. Many fans were disappointed by the fact that Beyond ReAnimator did not receive a theatrical release, this would surely rub salt in their existing wounds. Stuart and Brian, please don't do it this way. The franchise is too good, to be destroyed as a tv episode. By this I mean all the good stuff will be watered down or taken out, as well as the length of it.
All I can say is 58 minutes versus an hour and a half or two hours, come on guys think about it. If it was done this way, you may as well do a ReAnimator Series. Hmmm . . . . that wouldn't be a bad idea, sometimes I surprise myself. Barbaras' statements, mirror that of fans postings on "House's" IMDB page. Lets hope they are all wrong.
