Was it truly but 40 years prior that the world met sweaty scientist Herbert West, whose death-defying experiments made for three films’ worth of terror? (Just skip Beyond Re-Animator; trust me.)

Leads Jeffrey Combs (Herbert) and Barbara Crampton (Meg) attend as well for a Q&A and VIP add-on meet & greet post-show. – James Scott
