And Re-animator, and Castle freak. He has a very good track record in a certain subset of horror movies!
Ayy, +1 for Castle Freak. Isn't that the one where the freak rips off his own ding-dong?
I honestly don't recall. You'd think that sort of thing would be etched onto your memory 😬
Oh, I was just referencing a bad movie podcast that has frequently mentioned that movie. One of the hosts repeatedly recommended Castle Freak, and claimed that the freak ripped off his own ding-dong. This was subsequently disputed by listeners, and one of the other hosts.
At one point, one of the show's listeners tweeted at Stuart Gordon, asking if the freak ripped off his own ding-dong. Stuart Gordon responded, simply, "No." However, Jonathan Fuller, who played the titular freak, provided the show an autographed picture on which he wrote, "I ripped it off myself!" So the matter still pends.
Ha, sometimes even the production crew suffer from the Mandela effect 😆
