What scares Stuart Gordon?
You get the sense that supernatural horror doesn’t faze him, given that the Chicago-born director has made so many gleefully gruesome cult films, from “Re-Animator” to “From Beyond.”
And authority certain doesn’t unnerve him. When Gordon was a student at the UW-Madison in the 1960s, he notoriously put on a 1968 production of “Peter Pan” that featured nude dancers and an LSD trip. It was shut down by university officials after one infamous show, and Gordon was charged by the Dane Count district attorney with promoting lewd conduct.
But what seems to get under Gordon’s skin these days is the evil that ordinary men do when they think nobody’s looking.
