Going to see a Primitive Screwheads show at the Off-Market Theater is always weird -- you wait in one room, are ushered into an elevator, and eventually enter the theater itself. The theater is covered in plastic, as you are warned, again and again, that the audience isn't safe from the onstage carnage. We'd planned ahead by wearing black...oh, wait, we always wear black. But that seems apropos for Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West, a staged production based firmly in the source materials of both Lovecraft and recent popular adaptions of his work.

Full Disclosure: Any last scraps of journalistic "integrity" regarding this show were swept away when we saw that our earlier interview with The Primitive Screwheads excerpted in the program for Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Our first blurb! Look out, David Manning!
