show all Stuart Gordon is a creative horror film director who started his directing career in 1985. He joined with Charles Band and his Empire Pictures to make the company's first big hit, "The Re-Animator (1985)", a modern-day version of the H.P. Lovecraft story with Jeffrey Combs in the lead role. Gordon stayed with Empire and helmed another Lovecraft film, "From Beyond (1986)", and tackled the murderous "Dolls (1987)" the same year. He directed "Robot Jox (1990)", but it was a disappointment and Empire Pictures folded after the release of that film. Gordon found work writing the script and creating the story for "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989)", a major hit of 1991. He then returned with Band and his new company Full Moon Pictures for the remake and more graphic version of "Pit and the Pendulum, The (1990) " the same year. Other works of his include "Fortress (1993)", a major hit of 1994, and the screenplay for "Dentist (1996)". He continues his work in directing. His wife, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, is usually in a supporting role in his films.
