There is nothing off-putting about him. He's open, friendly, and seems to appeciate his fans.

I've met Stuart a few times now, at signings and conventions. He has cool stories about his life as a director and appears amazed that people want to spend time with him, let alone get his autograph. Still, he appreciates the attention, (who wouldn't?), and happily signs anything you put in front of him.

I last caught up with Stuart at Dark Delicacies Bookstore in Burbank, California. There, a small number of fans actually came all the way down from Canada, one family from Ontario and one from Toronto, just to meet him. Stuart is currently in pre-production on his new film, STUCK. The film is Horror, of course, and is co-wrote by Stuart along with fellow H.P. Lovecraft fan, John Strysik (THE MUSIC OF ERIC ZANN [SHORT], TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE [TV], MONSTERS [TV], DEATH BED). John has worked with Stuart before when Gordon produced director Danny Draven's DEATH BED.

In this photo, among his fans, Stuart Gordon also sits with his new actor, Ezra Godden, who, in the new millineum, has many of the traits Jeffrey Combs had in the 1980s.

I FLUB AN INTERVIEW WITH STUART GORDON
This brief interview was done because I was trying to get on the gameshow, Deal or no Deal. Part of getting on there is to make a 5 minute video of yourself, what you like, your friends, and such.

Well, everyone knows that I like Horror Thriller, Mystery, and Suspense. So when I had the chance to meet Writer / Director / Producer Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR, DOLLS, FROM BEYOND, KING OF THE ANTS, DREAMS IN THE WITCH HOUSE, STUCK) at a Dark Delicacies signing in Burbank, California, I asked him if I could do a quick interview with him. This interview, at about 20 seconds, is quite brief.

Don't be fooled though. This video was really shot on March 31st in time for April Fool's Day, Stuart was totally in on the gag and loved the idea of attacking a rude idiot (in this case me), who can't be respectful during an interview. His enthusiasm at going for my throat made me wonder if he had dealt - for real - with such people in the past. Perhaps I gave him the moment to live out a fantasy.
