Do you know of any other director who brings Lovecraft to cellulose? Besides Carpenter...
Having seen Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator and From Beyond, it's evident how skillful he is in bringing the stories to life, masterfully blending together the horror elements with the supernatural/fantasy. The "thing" in From Beyond was very reminiscent of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness.

Just saw Cigarette Burns last night. It was a very shocking, gripping, and beautifully executed episode that literally burst out of its made-for-tv boundaries. Damn, damn, damn. This is just the kind of thing that makes me wonder why on earth hasn't he made any films in all these years?!
Onward to the list...
