Stuart Gordon (born August 11, 1947) is an American filmmaker, theatre director, screenwriter, and playwright.
Initially recognized for his provocative and frequently controversial work in experimental theatre, Gordon is perhaps more widely known for work in film.
Most of Gordon's cinematic work is in the horror genre, though he has also ventured into science fiction and film noir.
Like his friend and fellow filmmaker Brian Yuzna, Gordon is a fan of H.
P.
Lovecraft and has adapted several of the author's stories for the screen, including Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dagon, as well as the Masters of Horror episode Dreams in the Witch-House.
He has turned to the work of Edgar Allan Poe on two occasions, directing The Pit and the Pendulum in 1991 and The Black Cat for Masters of Horror Showtime series in 2007.
Several of his films have gone onto become cult classics.
