![]() Necronomicon: Book of the Dead reunites star Jeffrey Combs with Brian Yuzna ( Bride of Re-Animator). Three stories get adapted in this 1993 anthology of short films helmed by trio of directors - and one of them is no stranger to Lovecraft. Starved, castrated, hideously disfigured, and raised without an ounce of love and affection, this 40-year old man-child breaks free from his shackles and runs amok. Their world changes when John finds out he inherited a 12th century castle from a famed duchess he never knew he was related to, but the duchess also left them another nasty little surprise: She raised and tortured her bastard son Giorgio (Jonathan Fuller) within the depths of the castle's dungeon and never told a soul. It seems John is quite fond of booze and she blames him for the accident. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? The storyline follows John (Combs) and Susan Reilley (Crampton), who have a seemingly strained marriage after a tragic accident claimed the life of their son and left their teenage daughter (Jessica Dollarhide) blind. ![]() ![]() Director Stuart Gordon's third venture into the world of Lovecraft, Castle Freak draws inspiration from the short story "The Outsider" - and once again brings Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton along for the ride. ![]()
